Tell about ancient customs
On March 30, the spring sun shines through the window in the hall of the China (Shenyang) Industrial Museum. At 10 o'clock in the morning, many parents and children gathered one after another, looking forward to the start of a unique lecture. The "Cold Food and Qingming Festival" popular science lecture was delivered by a volunteer teacher engaged in historical research at the China (Shenyang) Industrial Museum.
The volunteer teachers first showed a series of detailed historical materials, presenting the glorious course of Chinese civilization with simple picture scrolls and exquisite cultural relics. Then, the teacher began to tell the origin and customs of the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival, and her words not only contained vivid details, but also rich stories. When she pointed to one of the picture scrolls and described the scene of the ban on fireworks during the Cold Food Festival of the ancients, the audience nodded one after another, and the children were also full of interest, as if they had seen the ancient customs with their own eyes.
It's a lot of fun
"Busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites"
The sun is just right, the spring breeze is blowing, and it is also a good season for kite flying in Shencheng. As soon as you enter the preface hall of the museum, you can see the colorful square "gate" of "'2024 Love Shenyang' Spring Flowers Are Blooming, Gongbo Small Workshop". At this time, in the preface hall, a unique activity of "busy releasing paper kites while the east wind is in full swing".
I saw all kinds of kites swaying gently on the shelf, like a group of colorful butterflies dancing, some of them painted dragons and phoenixes, some painted flowers, birds, fish and insects, each of which embodies people's love for spring. Tourists stopped to watch, and from time to time they let out sounds of admiration. What's even more attractive is that the scene also provides folk activities such as kite tying and kite painting. The children excitedly gathered around the workbench and eagerly tried to learn how to tie the kite skeleton with the teacher, and then used their imagination to draw various cute kite patterns on the colored paper. Not to be outdone, the adults joined in this fun event and tried to incorporate modern elements into traditional crafts to create unique kite creations.
A different kind of creativity

At the event site, the reporter saw a white canvas spread out, waiting for people to depict the most beautiful spring scenery in their hearts with the brushstrokes of their hearts. Everyone is standing or sitting, holding colored pens, focused and devoted, sometimes they gently outline, sometimes bold coloring, each stroke is full of love and yearning for spring.
Not far away, the dried flower area where the "Spring Painting" is made is even more lively, the audience selects the brightly colored dried flowers, carefully pastes them on the drawing paper, forming a picture full of vitality of the spring scene, some of the children bow their heads in contemplation, some discuss with their friends next to them, and from time to time let out cheerful laughter, as if the whole spring has been put into the painting by them.
In addition, there is also an "interlocking" industrial style jewelry production area that also attracts many people. Here, visitors can make unique industrial-style jewelry, make necklaces from waste gears, and weave bracelets with metal tubes. Everyone carefully polished and spliced to turn waste items into treasures, showing a different kind of creativity and beauty.
