NCT ID NCT06057142
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether fun activities for reciting Tang poems could increase happiness and language skills in 48 ethnic minority primary school students in Hong Kong. Children attended three weekly poetry sessions and a performance show. Researchers measured how many poems they could recite and their happiness levels. The study is small and had no control group, so results are preliminary.

What this could lead to
