A complete dish square gang, a complete celadon pair of book figurines, a complete thousand autumn long live figurines... As one "cultural relic after another" was unearthed, the exclamations of children came from the original heart lecture hall of the Caohejing Street Community Party and Group Service Center. As the beginning of this year's winter holiday activities for minors, on January 10, Caohejing Street specially brought an archaeological experience box to the children in the community, hoping to stimulate their curiosity for history and national pride through children's own hands and discoveries.
On the table, old wooden boxes restore the real transport boxes of cultural relics, and the seals on the boxes remind children that "cultural relics" are precious and need to be handled carefully. Open the wooden box, the probe flag, tool shovel, cleaning brush are all available, and a grid mud block that has been prepared to explore the square is the most eye-catching. Wear gloves and masks, and the children who visit the "archaeological site" are eager to try it.
Following the teacher's guidance, the children laid tablecloths on the table to "protect" their "archaeological site". Then use the probe flag to mark the serial number of the probe, and use a tool shovel to excavate in a grid to gradually reveal the true appearance of the "cultural relics". If the soil is too hard, spray a little water with a spray bottle, and the dust attached to the "cultural relics" is gently swept away with a small brush ... Slowly, the bronze elephant zun, the human face pattern square ding, the painted pottery smoking furnace, the blue-glazed brown and green colored lion seat poetry porcelain pillow, and the Tangyuezhou kiln frame eagle and beard figurines "broke the ground", unfolding the magnificent picture scroll of mysterious Shang Zhou, romantic Han and Jin dynasties, and poetic Tang and Song dynasties for children.
Archaeology is discovery, but also protection. The organizers expressed the hope that through witnessing cultural treasures, children can understand that protecting cultural relics is to protect civilization, which is the mission of the nation and the glory of mankind, and also hope that in the process of witnessing history, they can cultivate cultural self-confidence and enhance children's sense of national honor.
