6 high school students in Lanzhou "dream of returning to Beijing" will be sages

When more than a year's painstaking efforts condensed into a 145,000-word novel, Liu Yanzhe, Ma Linya, Zhang Su, Zhang Xinyu, Xu Wenjie, and Luo Xianlong, sophomores of Lanzhou No. 59 Middle School, were somewhat "overjoyed" - "like planting a seed, at first I only hoped that it would break through the soil, who expected that in the autumn, its branches would grow fruit."

In addition to the heavy study, 6 high school students with different interests squeezed into the library, consulted a large number of historical materials, and used vivid and easy-to-understand novel texts to portray the three-dimensional image of 6 historical figures of the Song Dynasty, used the perspective of modern people to write the stories of the ancients, and created the novel "Bijing Yi", which attracted wide attention.

On the well-designed cover of the novel, the three characters of "BiJingyi" and the antique traditional Chinese architecture contrast with each other, as if telling a little-known anecdote more than 1,000 years ago. In this unforgettable experience, the students also found that they got more than they thought.

Team leader Liu Yanzhe is the initiator of the project. At first, she only wanted to complete an assignment assigned by the teacher in a research class.

Interest is the best catalyst. Liu Yanzhe told reporters that in the second year of junior high school, because of the pressure of schoolwork, she was fascinated by listening to songs, and "ancient style songs" broke into her eyes. "Everyone else is chasing traffic stars, but people in this circle are chasing Su Shi and Lu You." Liu Yanzhe felt that this group of people was "sick", but it was not long before she herself joined.

In the melodious ancient style tunes, there are scholars who share worries for the country, there are boudoir deep courtyards that play the piano, and there are chivalrous swords that go to the end of the world... Liu Yanzhe slowly immersed himself in it, and became more and more familiar with the "same friends" in this circle. "Read the book a hundred times, its righteousness is self-evident", Liu Yanzhe felt that he had "resonance" with the splendid ancient culture.

After entering high school, Liu Yanzhe continued to pay attention to his "circle of interests" as always. At the same table, Marinya became the person she "nagged" the most. "Every day I listen to the stories of the ancients, I can see that some of my classmates are carrying ancient texts back, and they can't even figure out the relationship between the 'three Su', so they are a little anxious." Marinya said.

Coinciding with the school's "research course learning" course, teacher Li Ping threw out to the students the task of "choosing their own topics, designing their own plans, studying by themselves, and completing the final report", and chasing the celebrities of the Song Dynasty accumulated a lot of interesting stories, and Liu Yanzhe immediately had the idea of "writing the history of the Song Dynasty".

Marlene was the first to respond and became the "second boss" of the group. As Ma Linya's junior high school classmate, Zhang Xinyu was the first to "pull into the water", followed by Zhang Su, Xu Wenjie, and Luo Xianlong. "At first, it was because everyone had a good relationship and put together a number of people, but after the task was started, everyone became serious and riveted to complete the work at hand." Marinya said.

The team was successfully formed, and the research entered the "jointing and pregnant ear stage" - the topic presentation was expanded from a paper to a novel; in terms of writing, it absorbed many characteristics of "history", "martial arts" and "suspense"; the protagonist's personality was also "after 25 quarrels", and it was finalized. The six high school students cooperate in a way that is beautiful and beautiful.

Luo Xianlong wrote the opening of the article, using a fictional character "Liang Huang" to string together the entire story line, leading the reader through to the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Yanzhe is a ashes fan of "Sansu", so he introduced idols with "filters". With the help of some unknown but touching stories in the lives of Su Shi and Su Rui, the brotherhood of "friendship and love, rare resentment, and rare in recent times" is demonstrated.

Xu Wenjie chose to write li jie, a "science and engineering man" who was as bad at words as he was, starting from his book "Building a French Style", restoring Li Jie's visit to famous mountains and rivers, carefully studying the eaves of the house, and giving full play to his artistic experience in the life of construction engineering.

In the history books, the introduction of Zhang Zeduan, the painter of the "Qingming River Map", is only a few dozen words, which is obviously "not thirsty" for these history lovers. Ma linya, who loves to read suspense novels, tries to dissect this "puzzle".

Zhang Su, who loves food on weekdays, and Lin Hong, a hermit and gourmet of the Southern Song Dynasty, "feel sorry for each other", so he took the initiative to ask for help, became the main writer of "Lin Hong's chapter", and "pinched" a vivid persona of "drunk manna liquor, thirsty for good wine from the immortal bottle, hungry to eat the taste of the world, and looking for friends when full".

In the battle of the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the minister Lu Xiufu did not want to be humiliated by the enemy, and after shooting the last arrow, the scene of holding the 9-year-old Song Shao Emperor Zhao Fu jumping into the sea shocked Zhang Xinyu, and he undertook the writing of this chapter, which greatly enriched the image of "Lu Xiufu", a literati who only mentioned names in history, and used his iron bones to draw a conclusion for the Great Song.

"The Great Song in 'The Memories of Bijing' is not rigid, but vivid and bright." Liu Yanzhe said that this is their original intention in choosing this topic - to use the joys and sorrows of famous or unknown historical figures to break the stereotypes in historical materials and textbooks, and to provide another perspective for peers who read ancient books but cannot read and know little about ancient culture.

As a highly integrated research project, the team members explored it using immersive substitution methods. Xu Wenjie remembers that there was a war between the Two Song Dynasties in the book, and they specially made a handmade chariot (small) to restore the scene of the war at that time. In the meantime, in order to find wood, Zhang Su "almost dismantled the wooden table at home." During the production process, the wood chips flew everywhere, and Zhang Xinyu, who was standing in the downwind, could not be bothered, pulled up his sweatshirt hat, tied it tightly to his head, and wore headphones to reinforce it, just like the "faceless man".

Laughter has accelerated the research process, but most of the time, everyone needs to dive into the vast sea of historical materials to extract useful information. For most of the year, on weekends, the group members were either in the library or on their way to the library.

Writing history-related content, the creative team must try to ensure that the quoted material is not biased, for them, it is more difficult to present the blunt history, engineering, and cultural knowledge to the reader in a relaxed and interesting way, which is also the value of their creation.

Zhang Xinyu chose to use environmental depictions to set off the tragic atmosphere of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty. "The mournful cries of a few ravens may be more empathetic than a river of blood." Zhang Xinyu said that in the process of polishing again and again, he seems to understand the subtle beauty of ancient literature.

Xu Wenjie pays attention to psychological depiction. In his view, "Building the French Style" is like a shooting star illuminating the entire architectural world, but Li Jie is unknown. He wanted to pass on this noble quality of not seeking to be famous in history, but only for scientific inheritance and innovation. Therefore, when writing Li Jie, he referred to the deeds and spirit of scientists such as Deng Jiaxian and Qian Xuesen who insisted on sticking to the Gobi Desert and paid silently for decades, trying to spy out what Li Jie was thinking.

Liu Yanzhe valued reader feedback, and after completing the chapter of "Sansu", she sent part of the content to the "circle of friends", "Fire, everyone private message, message 99+". She said that many "friends" gave her professional advice and made her more confident.

Because too much time was invested in research-based learning, parents were worried about their children's grades deteriorating, and 6 high school students proposed to translate "BijingYi" into English to consolidate English learning. This is a "big project", but it still has to be "conquered". Everyone took the time to look up the dictionary, learn grammar, and after the translation, they found a professional teacher to correct it until the English translation of "The Memories of Song" was completed.

The insistence of the students, Li Ping saw in his eyes. In his view, this is exactly the effect that research-based learning is trying to achieve. "Teachers are no longer imparting knowledge, but teaching students research methods. The classroom does not just revolve around the world of textbooks, but extends to society. Students discover, research and solve problems in practice, exercise their ability to collect information, interpersonal communication, language expression, hands-on and other aspects, and truly become the masters of learning. ”

The efforts finally paid off, and Liu Yanzhe's research project of "Memorable Inquiry and Cultural Development of Song Dynasty Civilization" stood out in the research learning achievement display of the second grade of the school and entered the school-level exhibition and sharing. After that, he won the first prize of the 37th Lanzhou Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition for Youth Scientific and Technological Innovation Achievements. It is worth mentioning that in this competition, four projects of Lanzhou No. 59 Middle School won the first prize, becoming the school with the most first prize projects in Lanzhou.

Compared with the award, Liu Yanzhe, who wants to be a civil engineer, Ma Linya, who wants to be a teacher, Zhang Xinyu, who wants to be an animation, Zhang Su, who wants to become a lawyer, Xu Wenjie, who is ideally engaged in rocket research, and Luo Xianlong, who "wants to be admitted to college now", enjoy the process of achieving results in teamwork for the first time in his life. During this period, they said, they exercised their writing, learned to persevere, broke stereotypes, and gained unique memories of youth...
