The Forbidden City has another explosive model! Not an exhibition, but an encyclopedia for children! Move the Forbidden City to the book, write it down on paper, and trace Chinese civilization through the Forbidden City!
Like DK's encyclopedia, it is written in a style that attaches equal importance to pictures and texts, is rich in content, and is full of dry goods, which can be used for a long time and read at any time, just like a museum hidden at home.
At first glance at the title, you will think that this is just a popular science encyclopedia related to the Forbidden City, but after reading it, you will find that its key word is "Chinese civilization".
In fact, the book is based on the Forbidden City and the collections of the Forbidden City, showing the history of Chinese civilization spanning tens of thousands of years from the Paleolithic Period to contemporary China.
Not only focusing on the Forbidden City, but with a larger and broader vision to understand the history, culture and civilization development of our nation.
For example, this page is about the architecture of the Imperial Palace, but it combines the knowledge points of the "Three Dynasties and Five Gates" with historical events such as the surrender and signing of Japan.
For example, in the development of Chinese currency that we learn in our history class, the Forbidden City Encyclopedia will combine its own treasured monetary relics to explain the history of this development to children.
For example, the "Four Books and Five Classics" that children are required to master in the language, the Forbidden City will also have relevant classics to explain the origin and history of the Four Books and Five Classics to children.
This is a interdisciplinary encyclopedia of Chinese culture with the Forbidden City as the carrier!
This "Children's Encyclopedia of the Forbidden City" was jointly compiled by a number of experts from the Forbidden City and colleges for three years, which is particularly suitable for parent-child reading and youth cultural learning, and is worthy of family treasure.

Led by experts from the Palace Museum, 20 experts checked,
Tell the Chinese civilization from point to point
The book was led by experts from the Palace Museum, with the participation of 20 experts and scholars, and took 3 years to complete.
In order to ensure the rigor and professionalism of knowledge, the editors consulted a large number of literature materials, so that every subtle knowledge point and point of view has theoretical support. In the entire editing process, it has been changed five times and has undergone more than ten reviews. It shows the intention of writing, the "hardcore" of content!
The book has more than 1800 knowledge points, from the Paleolithic era to the development achievements of contemporary China, spanning tens of thousands of years.
The book has a total of 170 knowledge themes, which are divided into 10 chapters:
1) Forbidden City, Beijing
2) The foundation of Chinese civilization
3) The functioning of ancient dynasties
4) Traditional Chinese architecture
5) Calligraphy and painting classics
6) Humanities and arts
7) Ancient inventions
8) Traditional arts and crafts
9) Traditional social customs
10) Chinese and foreign transportation
The Forbidden City in Beijing is just one of the modules. As the largest museum of ancient culture and art in the mainland, the Forbidden City in Beijing and its cultural relics have opened a channel for children to understand Chinese civilization.
Subsequently, children can embark on a journey to discover Chinese civilization in the company of the Palace Museum and other museums at home and abroad.
The foundation of civilization, the operation of dynasties, traditional architecture, calligraphy and painting classics... These profound Chinese civilizations will slowly unfold before the eyes of children.
The 170 topics are presented in the form of "cross-page map + knowledge points", focusing on each knowledge theme, telling historical context, important cultural heritage, precious historical relics, classic historical events, important historical figures and novel and interesting knowledge. Each pair of pages is a complete body of knowledge.
For example, the following folio page is about the Xia Dynasty.
Just two pages, including many knowledge points -
Archaeological discoveries of Erlitou Xia Ruins (the capital of the Xia Dynasty);
Legends and historical facts of the founding of the Xia Dynasty;
The civilizational achievements of the Xia Dynasty;
Dragon-shaped vessels found in archaeology;
The foundation of the Central Plains civilization;
Bronze Knight;
……
Such a "cluster arrangement" allows children to form a net in their minds - remember the vertical trunk, understand the horizontal branches, the knowledge structure will become very clear, and the correlation between knowledge points will be easier to grasp.
In a short period of time, children can form a three-dimensional cognition of a theme and build a perfect knowledge structure.
In particular, there are a large number of "knowledge links" in the book, jumping out of the boundaries of time and space, helping children sort out and summarize a large number of knowledge points, which can deepen children's understanding of a theme.
I believe that with this encyclopedia, children will be more effective in improving humanistic literacy and vision.
