In addition to the accumulation of the basic skills of red tourism explanation, it is also necessary to "immerse" in learning Huang Xiabing (docent of the memorial hall at the site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China)
Huang Xiabing repeatedly said in an interview with Nandu reporter that "it is a collective honor." Huang Xiabing, who participated in the work in 2015, has been engaged in the publicity and education of the memorial hall, and just joined the work at the "Guangdong Museum of Revolutionary History", and was officially transferred to the "Memorial Hall of the Site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China" in April 2021.
In 2021, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the "Memorial Hall at the Site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China" was renovated, expanded, completed, and opened, which is also the first year of party history education; the daily explanation task of the memorial hall is heavy, and the appointment system is adopted during the epidemic period, and the daily explanation team has more than 20 tasks to explain.
I like to interact with the audience and collide ideas
Huang Xiabing likes the audience's live questions, because this interaction is very energetic, can improve their business ability, and the collision of ideas. In her observations, the details and contents of the audience of each age group are very different, for example, the concerns of students and the elderly are completely different, so the questions raised are different, such as Chen Duxiu, students ask him more about his daily work, and the elderly pay more attention to Chen Duxiu's activities in the Xinhepu area of Guangzhou.
For the audience's questions after each lecture, Huang Xiabing will collect them, summarize the questions, seek professional answers through various means, and also hand them over to the research and exhibition department of the guild hall to sort out and give the team a unified answer.
According to Huang Xiabing's observation, in recent years, the number of family parents and children going to the Red Tourism Museum is increasing, and this part of the audience also looks very carefully, which is a challenge and an incentive for their own work, and the interaction with the family audience is a good process for the docent to learn and improve the business.
In her spare time, she used to look for "red imprints" in her life, "memorial hall of the site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China" in Xinhepu, Dongshan, Guangzhou, there are Kui Garden and Spring Garden near the memorial hall, which are closely related to the history of the "Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China", Huang Xiabing revealed, "Often go to places with historical stories to 'immerse' in learning." "There is also an aerial photograph of the Dongshan area (1930s) in the memorial, and in my spare time, I often find old and new places to compare and find historical stories contained in it."
In life, she pays special attention to historical figures and historical stories, such as last year's hit "The Age of Awakening". The history books I usually read include "History of the Communist Party of China", "Local History of Guangzhou", "Three Anecdotes of the Communist Party of China" and so on.
In addition to the usual accumulation, it is also necessary to immerse in learning
In Huang Xiabing's experience, the basic skills of red tourism explanation are not only accumulated in normal times, but also "immersed" in the exhibition hall. In ordinary people's thinking, the basic skill of the explainer is nothing more than memorizing words, reciting the historical story and time node, but in practice it is not so simple, "Of course, memorization is the basic foundation, every day to practice the exhibition words, our basic skills also include pronunciation exercises, such as tongue twisters, words, breath and other exercises."
"Immersion" exhibition hall, and the exhibition board, exhibits more communication, this is Huang Xiabing's "experience", the docent to get the exhibition commentary is the same, but the content should correspond to the on-site display board, exhibits, which requires effort and effort.
In Huang Xiabing's memory, many of the temporary exhibition tasks are short time, more content, generally in the first 2-3 days before the development of the exhibition can enter the exhibition site, then often still the construction site, decoration taste is strong, but must immediately "immerse" in the exhibition site, the explanatory words, exhibition content, station position to do one-to-one correspondence, that 2-3 days of time is very precious, almost all do waste sleep and forget to eat, not only to "read the words", but also to "have the heart to show".
What is particularly impressive is that last year, the "Memorial Hall at the Site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China" was completed and opened on June 20, and during that time, the interpretation team of the memorial hall went to the "rooftop" to recite the words, and when the interior decoration of the exhibition hall was completed, it smelled a great smell, and Huang Xiabing and his colleagues seized the time to go to the exhibition hall to combine the positions and visiting routes to explain the field over and over again.
Analyzing these years of work experience, Huang Xiabing said that it is necessary to know how to write their own explanatory words, have a clear understanding of the history of red, and then organize it in their own familiar language, so that there will be a better interactive effect on the scene.
Draw mind maps, bring small books to record and flip through at any time
Huang Xiabing, a graduate of fine arts, was not used to memorizing historical content before, and she admitted, "When I first started working, my head was bigger." "For this challenge, there is no shortcut, only the stupid bird can fly first, and can only fight with yourself."
In the process of "dead bumps", Huang Xiabing also slowly explored the "doorway" suitable for himself. She told reporters, "Under the guidance of the teacher, coupled with their own efforts, they also need to find a method that suits themselves, in order to achieve more with less."
Combining years of work experience, Huang Xiabing summed up her "secret book" is: combing through the data, drawing a mind map, building up the large framework of events and time, and then adding details to it; explaining is a "cumulative" process, and constantly learning is also a basic skill in her opinion. Huang Xiabing will carry a small book with her, record the audience's questions or daily doubts, and always make a good summary to sort out the best answers.
Take the Long March Road of This Generation and Inherit the Spirit of the Long March Tan Huixian (Narrator of the Shaoguan Red Army Long March In Northern Guangdong Memorial Hall)
Tan Huixian is the inductee of the 2021 National Red Tourism Five Good Docent Training Project and a docent of the Shaoguan Red Army Long March Guangdong North Memorial Hall. Tan Huixian, a post-90s generation, returned to her hometown from the Pearl River Delta in October 2019 and devoted herself to red education. For more than two years, she has been continuously learning the red history and culture of Shaoguan. The tourists she has received are not only kindergarten children, white-haired veterans, but also tourists who have come from afar to retake the Long March. No matter what team she faces, she carefully and meticulously does a good job of reception and explanation, so that the majority of tourists in the red venue can relive the red history of the Red Army transiting through northern Guangdong as if they were immersed. This little girl after the 90s who always has a smile on her face is called "the most beautiful docent" by everyone.
Cultivate internal skills and be fully prepared at all times
In 2021, the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, "the Memorial Hall of the Long March of the Red Army in Northern Guangdong is the only memorial hall in Guangdong Province to commemorate the Long March of the Red Army, and has become an important teaching point for the study and education of party history." Tan Huixian said that as a docent of the memorial hall, she has a stronger sense of responsibility, and through her own efforts, she should better play the role of the main position of the red culture propaganda of the memorial hall and promote the in-depth development of party history study and education.
Therefore, this post-90s docent constantly precipitated himself, strengthened the study of professional knowledge, consulted experts and scholars, and improved his personal professional ability. With a high sense of responsibility and enthusiasm to serve every tourist, under the premise of respecting historical facts, so as to give lectures according to needs, according to people. In more than two years, she has given nearly 500 lectures, and her professional explanations and warm and thoughtful service have been highly recognized by tourists.
At the same time, she is also a self-motivated and responsible post-90s, actively participating in various interpretation competitions to improve herself, and won the first prize twice in various docent competitions held in Shaoguan City in 2021. He also participated in the Guangdong Provincial Red Docent Propaganda Activity as an excellent docent. And actively carry out publicity and promotion, personally wrote 65 press releases, more than 100 times by the media to adopt and reprint. At the same time, we take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of the inheritors of red culture, carefully plan various red theme education activities, achieve "monthly activities, festivals have themes", and innovatively plan and carry out more than 60 activities. The patriotic education activities carried out by Tan Huixian have achieved good results and great influence, with more than 5.2 million online and offline missions. In addition, Tan Huixian also carried out promotion activities on behalf of the exhibition hall "going out" for 8 times, showing the style of the exhibition hall and the red culture of northern Guangdong.
She also said that while she was honored to receive this honor, she also saw the work results and honors of other "five good docents" and found that she still had a lot to learn and improve. "It also makes me more calm in the face of honor and motivates myself to keep moving forward."
Be a promoter of the spirit of the Long March and create a better future
"The spirit of the Long March is a vivid reflection of the revolutionary demeanor of the Chinese communists, a concentrated embodiment of the Chinese nation's spirit of unremitting self-improvement, and a great spiritual wealth shared by mankind. Tan Huixian said that every generation has the long march of each generation, and each generation must take its own long march. We must take the Long March road of our generation, and on the new Long March Road, we still have many "snowy mountains" and "meadows" that need to be crossed, and there are still many "Loushan Pass" and "Lazikou" that need to be conquered. Based on her own work, she will continue to be a firm inheritor of the red gene, a wonderful narrator of the red story, a vivid interpreter of the red spirit and a loyal disseminator of red culture, and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and overcoming all difficulties to win victory in the Long March.
The docent is not a "repetition machine", but also needs a solid professional quality Wang Yanan (Docent of the Opium War Museum)
In 2007, Wang Yanan graduated from Northwest University majoring in broadcast hosting and entered the Opium War Museum (hereinafter referred to as the "Opium Museum"), where he worked for 15 years. In addition to being selected into the "2021 National Red Tourism Five Good Docent Training Project", in 2019, he also won the national "Gold Medal Docent" advanced individual honorary title, which is also the best result achieved by Guangdong Province in the National Docent Competition over the years.
Turn the explanatory words into a language that ordinary people can understand
In 2009, Wang Yanan was the first in Guangdong Province to represent Guangdong Province in the National Docent Competition, and she found that the docents could explain the content in a more interactive form. "The explanation must be communicated and communicated with the heart, and the heart is the most important." In 2017, when she participated in the national competition for the second time, the organizers found 20 general audience members as public judges, "I found that my professional review scores were very high, but the general audience sounded very hard." At that time, the biggest feeling was that the explanatory words did not need lofty content, but had to conform to the language of the people. It must not only be informative, but also interactive and interesting." From this point on, every time she explains the exhibition, she will prepare a special book to record the questions of tourists, "because that is what the public wants to hear the most."
In 2019, she once again competed in the national competition. This time, the theme of the competition is more extensive, and the docent is no longer required to focus on the content of the unit. She determined the theme of "People's Musician Xian Xinghai", went to Guangzhou Panyu and other places to collect and visit, found more than 30 videos related to Xian Xinghai, and locked herself in the room to watch the videos over and over again to determine the material, often moved to tears. Wang Yanan said that she changed this manuscript 36 times, each time from beginning to end of the drastic revision, and even suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, thought of how to revise, will immediately write down this sentence. In the end, she realized her dream and won the national "Gold Medal Explainer" advanced personal honorary title that year.
Speak according to the person, so that every audience member is respected
In recent years, the Museum of Crows has been transformed into a learning museum, where docents not only need to research and write explanatory materials, but also require staff to practice in the Mission Department. The curator once told her that the content of the explanation needs to be constantly changed, "so basically, every time I explain it differently." The explanation must also be "given according to the person", "What content is said to the child?" What to say to the elderly? There should be different versions for different groups of people."
In 2017, the Raven Museum was renovated, and Braille signs were added next to the cultural relics in the museum. On the day of the opening of the museum, the museum organized 30 visually impaired spectators to visit, Wang Yanan explained, did not rush to introduce the contents of the museum, but said to the visually impaired visitors, "Friends, let's listen carefully first, what kind of sounds can we hear?" ”
The gate of the Raven Museum is separated from the docks in Hong Kong by a sea, and ships often travel on the sea. When she had just finished saying this, there happened to be a strong whistle from the steamship. The visually impaired visitor is no longer expressionless, but says "I heard the sound of the whistle" and "I seem to hear the sound of the waves".
Then, Wang Yanan said: "The position we are in now is the second line of defense of the Opium War. When the Opium War broke out, the British invaders at that time entered Humen through here, hit Guangzhou, and pushed open the southern gate of China." She also asked them to touch the exposed cannons and shells and feel the touch of the artifacts.
The 40-minute tour, which was originally scheduled, took almost 3 hours. The audience told her that she felt so happy, "I never expected to be able to 'see' the exhibition in the museum, nor did I expect to be respected." This made Wang Yanan feel warm, and also made her firm in the meaning of the explainer.
Innovate science and education, bring historical stories online
The Raven Museum actively innovates and plans mobile exhibitions and more than 30 innovative literary and artistic programs reflecting historical themes and anti-drug themes, and through the form of mobile museums, it has entered town streets, enterprises, communities, military camps and remote schools, and also sent anti-drug reports to drug rehabilitation centers and prisons, giving special lectures for inmates, with an audience of more than 600,000 people.
During the epidemic period, Wang Yanan also made a 14-episode radio drama for teenagers online to introduce the Opium War, each episode was 5 minutes, according to reports, after the radio drama was launched, the unit's click rate reached 350,000 times within a month. This made Wang Yanan feel that his thinking had been opened up, "the audience is only 200 people, but spreading historical stories in the form of online will serve more people." At present, she is planning to do another historical radio drama specifically for children, "We are not only talking about history, but we want to tell everyone that it is precisely because of this history that we know more about the hard-won life now, and what we can learn from it."
The docent needs to grow into a "miscellaneous family"
According to the data released by the official website of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, in 2019, the number of visitors to the Opium War Museum ranked seventh among the 5,535 museums filed in the country, with an annual number of visitors of 5.845 million, with an average of 16,000 visitors per day. Such a volume of reception is very stressful for the docent.
"Feet worn out" and "throat inflammation" are her norms, but what makes her feel more tired is that society does not understand the work of "docents". Many people asked her if the docent was a repeater. She believes that the docent needs to grow into a "miscellaneous family", to develop a solid professional quality, in the usual work, the interpretation reception, business learning, exhibition research, educational activities, knowledge reserves, copywriting and other continuous accumulation, in order to achieve a qualitative breakthrough at a certain stage.
