When you think of the Forbidden City, what comes to mind? Is it the neat and solemn palace complex, the countless rare treasures, or the beautiful scenery of the four seasons that can never be tired...
In the past, the Forbidden City was the forbidden palace in people's hearts, with a long history but high and not easy to approach.
But in recent years, the Forbidden City has lived on the tip of everyone's heart. It is not only the first of the five major palaces in the world, but also the gathering place of Chinese civilization and history.
Walk into the Forbidden City and admire the beauty of the colors and architecture that belong to China alone; walk into the Forbidden City and feel the ups and downs of 600 years of history.
For children, visiting the Forbidden City is like traveling through history. Here, they can truly feel what is traditional culture, what is the Chinese soul and Chinese roots.
The Forbidden City is really too big and rich, and every time you take a tour with children, you will have the feeling of "walking around and watching the flowers" and "not finishing".
Many children's questions really can't be answered, and they know nothing about the buildings and treasures they see, which is really regrettable.
This year, the Forbidden City has struck!
In order to allow children to walk into the Forbidden City more realistically, intuitively and more deeply, and understand our vast traditional Chinese culture, the Palace Museum has specially launched a set of large treasure boxes for children-

Feel 600 years of culture and history
In a child's childhood, the least that can be done is handicraft!
Experts have found that children who love to do handicrafts from an early age can cultivate their thinking ability and hands-on ability well, and their imagination will be more exuberant.
This time, the Forbidden City specially designed 24 creative handicrafts for children, all based on the elements of the Forbidden City.
From exquisitely carved pavilions;
Linxi Pavilion
To the exquisite and meticulous palace lamps, the sacred beasts that drive away evil spirits;
Palace lights in the Forbidden City
Gilded unicorn
Then to the treasures of the Forbidden City that have gone through vicissitudes and never faded, and will always shine.

If the story stimulates children's curiosity and interest in the Forbidden City, then the handiwork allows children to more directly and truly contact the 601-year-old Forbidden City, and its bricks and tiles seem to be given life by this small handicraft.
Let the child feel that the Forbidden City is no longer far away, it is in their own hands and hearts.

By the way, this set of handicrafts is also an excellent artifact for "visiting the Forbidden City".
You can let children take their own handicrafts to the Forbidden City to "treasure hunt" punching cards, which not only makes the Forbidden City tour more interesting. When children find these "treasures", they must be full of fulfillment.

Doing handicrafts is not only in line with the characteristics of children's hands-on love, but also to satisfy curiosity, and more importantly, to cultivate children's concentration and achieve more in one fell swoop.
In addition to handicraft, this set of treasure boxes also prepares a picture book of the Forbidden City 24 solar terms story for children.
It takes the 24 solar terms as the story line, starting from Lichun, each time a solar term story, and in the story with the cultural relics and treasures of the Forbidden City, there are intimate encounters again and again.
Each story consists of 3 parts: the Forbidden City Festival Story, the Festival Phenology, and the Festival Poetry.
The story of the Forbidden City Festival, with the child as the protagonist, follows the sacred beasts of the Forbidden City to appreciate the different beauty of the 24 solar terms of the Forbidden City.
Every festival of the children will encounter the objects in the Forbidden City.
It may be a large copper turtle with a good meaning and good omen for longevity and long-term peace and stability.
It may be the "flowing cup canal" that the ancients said that wine was happy, and the wine cup flowed down the water and stopped in front of whom, who would drink and write poetry.
It may also be a "female leaning", with a small flag planted behind her and wearing armor, which turns out to be the costume of a female general
In the story, the child is like having a beautiful dream, and can see the "beauty of details" in the Forbidden City, which is often overlooked.
Solar terms phenology allows children to understand the phenological knowledge of this solar term.
For example, Lichun has "three waits":
Wait for the east wind to thaw;
Diphthotripsy begins to vibrate;
Three fish on ice.
The east wind thaws, that is, when the spring is established, the east wind warms up, and the earth also begins to thaw and wake up. Spring flowers often bloom at this time
The insects are vibrating, which refers to the insect ants who have been underground for a winter, and they also take advantage of the spring season to begin to move. Fish on the ice, it is said that the ice on the surface of the river begins to melt, the fish break the ice and swim around.
Through understanding phenology and the knowledge behind it, children have a deeper understanding of the 24 solar terms. The content of the book will also stimulate children's desire to explore, so that they can learn to pay attention to observe the solar terms in life
Solar term poetry is also something I really like.
The creative team specially selected 24 solar terms poems suitable for children to read aloud. As an introduction when children read solar term stories.
Not only is it fun, but it also improves the children's literary heritage.
It is very recommended for mom and dad to read and memorize with the baby, the beauty of ancient poems, the knowledge of temperament, and the poet's mind are all hidden in these 24 exquisite poems.
In the early spring, feel Han Yu's "Early Spring Light Rain", and taste "The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, and the grass color is close but not";
When Xiao Man is young, listen to Ouyang Xiu's "Xiao Man" and enjoy "the nightingale cries green willows, and the moon wakes up in the sky";
When it is snowing heavily, read Xiang Zizhen's "Ruan Lang Gui Shaoxing Yi Di Heavy Snow In Poyang Road", and feel that "the snow in the north and south of the Jiangnan River is long, and the remote knowledge is easy to be cold." ”
The former 24 solar terms were only in a nursery rhyme. Today's 24 solar terms, behind not only the wisdom of the ancients, but also the culture and history of the Forbidden City, is really amazing!
