Little Sister: Let modern technology and traditional Chinese culture empower family education

In China, how hard can you be a mom?

Searching for this topic, from a series of web titles, you can glimpse the difficulties behind the various answers of mothers. Busy mothers, educating their children to be healthy and sunny, have done their best, but also in the process of taking the baby "self-realization", open up a new world of life, seek difficulty index?

There is a mother who wants to teach her children to learn "Thousand Characters", so she has compiled the ancient text into a playable and interactive gesture dance, and even education experts and kindergarten teachers are full of praise, and convincingly become her "fans".

This mother, the protagonist of the short video produced is the mother and daughter wearing Hanfu, the presentation method is parent-child interaction, and actually kills a "blood road" in the army of hundreds of millions of short videos on the social platform, and the amount of reading is "riding the dust" in the parent-child short video.

This mother, the parent-child short video launched has both beauty and depth, and also took the hand to promote the traditional Chinese culture. In fact, it is not difficult to do a fine work, the difficulty is to continue to output high-quality content, and so that the young daughter can keep pace with herself.

So, how did this pair of talented mothers and daughters "rush" out of the group of mothers who love sunshine and shows?

"Children and children, don't be hungry, after lapa eight is the year, lapa porridge drink for a few days, mile mile la la la twenty-three." In the mobile phone video, a woman dressed in Hanfu uses this traditional song of the Laba Festival as the soundtrack, with gestures as the dance, the dance posture is light and flexible, and the picture is full of flavor. If you are targeted by the user portrait analysis function of the short video platform as "Bao Ma" or "traditional culture lover", you must have seen her video. She is a lecturer at the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University of Technology, a well-known traditional culture communicator, and a parent-child education practitioner who has just been awarded the fifth "Chinese Young Good Netizens", named "Little Sister", formerly known as Qin Yi. The reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network specially interviewed her.

Parent-child interactive gesture dance allows two generations to grow up together

"I am the primary school class teacher, this year's campus art festival, the children in the class performed is the "Thousand Words" gesture dance created by the little sister!"

"When my baby first performed the "Thousand Character Text" gesture dance at school, she was still in the first grade of elementary school, and now she is in the fourth grade!"

Behind the short video of the little sister, the messages of netizens are sincere and cute. Countless "bao moms" and preschool teachers have become "hardcore fans" to share their experience of "intimate contact" with traditional culture through parent-child gesture dance.

Qin Yi, who was still working in a provincial-level government agency half a year ago, would not have thought that she had loved sinology since she was a child, and she could rely on the original national style gesture dance short video to warm tens of millions of families, open up more possibilities in life, and even one day become a "phenomenon-level figure" in the field of parent-child interaction and traditional cultural short videos, which was widely concerned and discussed by the academic and communication circles.

After having his daughter "Xiao Tuanzi", Qin Yi, who is keen on recording his life, registered an account on the short video platform to share his daily interactions with his daughter. In her view, classical poetry condenses the essence of Chinese culture, with artistic beauty and imagery beauty, and she wants to share the beauty of classical poetry with her daughter. At that time, the two-year-old "small group" orthodontics learned to say, "Ancient poetry may be combined with gesture dance!" Qin Yi decided to try to combine finger exercises with ancient poetry to carry out his own creation.

On Mother's Day in 2018, Qin Yi created her first ancient Sinology poem gesture dance "Wandering Zi Yin", the gesture dance action of threading needles is very memorable, and her daughter quickly memorized this poem. With the idea of sharing parenting tips with other mothers, Qin Yi uploaded the gesture dance on the short video platform and received a lot of likes. One after another, Qin Yi created and compiled the gesture dance of ancient poems such as "Wing Goose" and "Spring Dawn".

The "blockbuster" appeared in October 2018. Qin Yi and his family went to the ancient town of Zhujiajiao in Shanghai to play, and on the ancient street of Zhujiajiao Town, Qin Yi, dressed in Hanfu, filmed the "Thousand Character Text" gesture dance video he had previously compiled and transmitted to the short video platform.

After returning home, Qin Yi was surprised to find that this video "exploded". "For the first time, I received more than 400,000 likes." For example, if parent-child communication is no longer a passive "you teach me to learn", but becomes an inspirational journey of "playable and interactive", its efficiency and quality will be effectively optimized.

Over the past few years, through continuous creation and iteration, her works have formed a number of themes such as traditional festivals, traditional Chinese culture gesture dance, ancient poetry gesture dance, etc., "from the role of mother to the role of the creator, through singing and dancing to learn ancient poetry, happy to learn Chinese studies, help to make tens of millions of children fall in love with ancient poetry, like traditional Chinese culture, and thus love our country more." ”

Benign parent-child interaction is nourishing for parents and children. "After becoming a mother, I don't want to be completely stuck in family life, go around the child every day, or even lose myself. I think a good parent-child relationship should be that parents and children achieve each other and grow together. Qin Yi said that she has always maintained the mentality of a learner, after the birth of the child, she taught herself African drums, ethereal drums and other instruments, hoping to give children better musical enlightenment, hoping to be a "growth mother" and become a child's role model in the process of continuously improving herself.

"Bao Mom" worked together to make short videos not poison but friends

Around us, such behaviors are not uncommon in family education: confiscating children's mobile phones, "because it is too nutritious to keep brushing short videos"; how late children can contact electronic products, "because short videos on social platforms are too kitsch"... However, in the parent-child short video produced by Qin Yi, elements such as learnable and imitative, intimate innocence, folk culture, and aesthetic height have been skillfully integrated, and Qin Yi felt this energy from the short video in his exploration.

"In the era of short videos, there can be many ways to learn Chinese culture happily and learn ancient poetry creatively. Through the dissemination of short videos, many schools have added the element of gesture dance to classroom teaching and campus talent shows, indicating that it is useful and interesting. Practice has proved that short videos of gesture dance can become a new way for children to like Chinese studies, and become a key for 'little cute' people to enter the world of classical poetry. Qin Yi said.

Later, in order to meet the needs of kindergarten teachers and parents, she launched a slow-motion teaching version of gesture dance and other works. At special time nodes such as Chinese Police Day and International Anti-Drug Day, she began to create a series of themed gesture dances at the request of netizens. After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, in order to make a modest contribution to the fight against the epidemic, she created dozens of short videos of epidemic prevention science such as "Epidemic Prevention Children's Song", which let children understand the knowledge of epidemic prevention through gesture dance. "The process of continuously solving the problems of short video users is the process of creators' progress and transformation and upgrading." She said.

"Don't reject new technologies and new platforms, but try to empower our parenting." With a good short video, our record of the parent-child co-creation and deduction process itself can become a short video work, and the process of creation is also a process of further enhancing parent-child feelings. Qin Yi said that he is very fortunate to catch up with the tide of short videos, and he is also full of expectations for the future Internet and short videos to better serve tens of millions of families.

Chinese Cultural Revival Tell the most beautiful Chinese story in the best of times

Hundreds of millions of dollars of traffic every month attract waves of business resources. But Qin Yi was not eager to "commercial realization", but calmed down to continue to create. She is keen to participate in various public welfare activities such as the "Rainbow Project", the "Slow Angel Guardian Program" for children with cerebral palsy, and the "Anti-Drug Mother Alliance".

At present, the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is about to be held, and Qin Yi has been invited to serve as a volunteer trainer for the Asian Games. In her course, there is not only "how to be humble and courteous with a hand, but also how to reflect the demeanor of the 'state of etiquette' with a smile". Qin Yi believes that volunteers should not only serve this sports event well, but also be disseminators and practitioners of sportsmanship and traditional Chinese culture. Each volunteer is a "small window" to promote Hangzhou, and volunteer experience will not only give these young people a rare life experience, but also become an opportunity for them to re-understand their hometown, and then devote themselves to the construction of their hometown and change their hometown.

In Qin Yi's view, behind the wide resonance of his and millions of "Bao Ma" gesture dance short video explorations, there are also deeper humanistic factors - the revival of Chinese culture. In recent years, the people's money bags have bulged up, from the inside out of the confidence, Chinese traditional culture grafted on new media, modern technology, re-rooted, opened a new flower, "traditional culture gesture dance short video" is one of the representatives.

Short videos spread quickly and efficiently, gesture communication knows no borders, and the culture in poetry is timeless. Qin Yi told reporters that the Chinese culture that spans time and space, transcends the country, and has contemporary value is spread to the world, and the "traditional culture gesture dance short video" is a good way.

"The world needs multiculturalism to show the world the profound historical accumulation of Chinese culture, and I am willing to be one of them." I want more people to see our excellent traditional culture, see the way of life of Chinese, and let everyone feel the cultural self-confidence that belongs to our China. Qin Yi said.
