Uncle Zhou Qiguang, who has been retired for 10 years in the North District community, is a little busy, taking turns to attend three classes a week, and when he gets home, he has to step up his own practice, as he himself said, "It's like a grandson turning to school, happy mood, and full life." ”

Behind Uncle Guang's fulfilling classroom life is the epitome of the North District community's "Jinyan School" at Mr. Chen Yanye's Ancestral Hall, with education as the guide and learning as the path to create a cultural community where children learn interestingly, neighbors learn from each other, and the elderly enjoy learning.
■The century-old ancestral hall continues to be prosperous
It has become a "school" for classes at the doorstep of residents
Literature and art are on the left, and the market is on the right. Walking into the ancestral hall of Mr. Chen Yanye, the fireworks of the sightseeing market opposite have not completely faded, but the heavy sense of the ancestral hall has revealed its cultural charm to the visitors, and the pace unconsciously slows down and savors it......
Chen Iwano Sensei Shrine.
Here, there are the bronze statue of Mr. Chen Yanye, the lecture map, the back poem, the gray sculpture, the stone tablet and other relics, in the quiet and classical, it seems to see the passionate scene of Mr. Chen Yanye abandoning the pen to set up an account from Rong to give lectures and cultivate a talent.
Time back to today, more than 300 years later, and continue to flourish.
In 2021, the North District community will revitalize and utilize the Chen Yanye Ancestral Hall, and link up with the Luo Xuexi Memorial Building, Wu Zongwei Cultural and Sports Activity Center, North District Auditorium and other positions to carry out a series of special courses such as culture, parent-child, handicraft, lectures, etc., to explore new routes of community culture, and become a "school" for daily classes at the doorstep of community residents.
A series of special courses are carried out every day at the ancestral hall of Mr. Chen Yanye.
According to statistics, as of March 2024, nearly 200 "Jinyan Academy" series courses have been carried out, with a cumulative number of beneficiaries of nearly 40,000 people.
■Develop characteristic courses based on local areas
Residents strengthen their cultural self-confidence through learning
Zhong Qi, a student of the children's lion dance class, has just turned 11 years old this year, and he is already a resident student of the "Jinyan School" under the guidance of his mother.
Zhong Qi practiced under the guidance of the teacher.
At around 8 o'clock on Saturday, before the teacher arrived, Zhong Qi had already gone to the training ground to get ready, and in the next two hours, he would have a lion dance training class with more than 20 children of similar age. Compared to the nervousness and fear when the teacher held him in the first class and tried to jump the plum blossom pile, he is now proficient and confident in his presentation.
"This is the change and feeling that many children have after learning to wake up the lion", Zhong Qi's mother shared, in the past, in some opening activities to see the lion dance would be very excited 'wow wow scream', now he learned through his own learning to know that the lion dance is not as simple as imagined, to practice a lot of basic skills and skills, but I didn't expect him to be able to seriously persevere, insisting on practicing zama steps and push-ups every night, "the whole person is very energetic".
The "soul" is in education, and the "root" is in the homeland.
"How much do you know about the story of Jinyan" field tour cultural salon.
Just like the positive impact of lion dance training on the students, traditional culture is also "alive" in the classroom.
In addition to daily activities and interactive classes, the courses offered by the "Cultural North District Jinyan Academy" also explore the course value of various cultural resources such as lion dance, Cantonese opera, and Yongchun boxing in the North District.
More than 20 students of the Cantonese opera class studied carefully.
At half past four o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, when the end of the Cantonese opera class arrived, more than 20 students still walked out of the temple of Mr. Chen Yanye, the opera materials in their hands were not released, and the eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, or the "hope" eyes that they had just learned, giving people a kind of vitality and vitality that the campus students frolicked and dispersed when they got out of school......
■Focus on "one old and one young" precise service
Children learn with fun, neighbors learn from each other, and the elderly also have fun learning
It is worth mentioning that the "Jinyan School" also focuses on the "old and young" in the jurisdiction, leading the "sunset" at one end and the "sunrise" at the other end to implement precise services.
More students and families participated.
Huang Qiuqin, the resident manager of Mr. Chen Yanye's ancestral hall, introduced that the classroom and activities focus on the linkage with schools such as North District Kindergarten, Benyuan Primary School, Xishan Primary School, etc., such as the "Wish Tree" student social practice public welfare activity to organize students and parents to go out of their homes to participate in public welfare, and promote the historical and cultural attractions, characters, food, and intangible cultural heritage items in the North District.
There are a variety of courses for the elderly.
As a platform for the cultural care of community residents, "Jinyan School" actively invigorates the first classroom (classroom teaching), enriches the second classroom (club activities), and expands the third classroom (community activities). Square dance, as well as vocal classes and chorus, etc., in addition, there are also popular health and health courses, such as physical classes and health lectures, etc., to truly realize "the old have learning, the old have fun, and the old have something to do".
Students praise the class.
In the course of teaching the Cantonese opera class, Ho Fung Yee, the head of the North District Community Opera Art Troupe, found that the knowledge and skills learned by the students in the community class were mutually influential. Therefore, according to the learning progress of the students, Ho Fengyi will arrange different singing and arrangement teaching, so that the students can integrate in multiple classes.
Aunt Ying, who has been studying Cantonese opera for many months, is deeply touched, "When I first retired, I had nothing to do, and I felt a sense of loss. ”
■ Years of immersion to achieve student feedback
The community and its residents see more possibilities
Running in both directions will make education more warm.
Now, after years of infiltration, innovation and inheritance, the students of the "Jinyan Academy" series of courses are "feeding" the community with practical actions with the results of what they have learned.
The participation of the students in the lion dance class in community activities was very popular.
At this time, the performance team formed by the Hulusi, the chorus, the ballroom dance square dance team, the quyi team, the Tai Chi team, the lion dance and other classroom students brought wonderful programs, becoming a dazzling scenery in the literary and artistic activities.
After the end of this lion dance class, he will continue to sign up for more periods to continue to study in depth, and drive the school students to participate together, "I can only participate in some lion cub parades now, and I will strive to perform on stage in the future", he encouraged himself.
Many of the students excelled in the class.
In the future, the "Jinyan School" will also explore the combination of community talent training.
The North District Lion Dance Troupe, which has been established for 100 years, and the North District Xiqu Art Troupe, which has just been established in 2023, have different "qualifications", but they are both in urgent need of fresh blood to join and cultivate. Su Jian'en, a member of the Dragon and Lion Skills Professional Committee of the Shunde District Dragon and Lion Association, and He Fengyi, the head of the North District Community Opera Art Troupe, both mentioned that they will find suitable candidates to develop as the backbone in the lion dance class and Cantonese opera class, and build a huge classroom team to realize the cycle of using the old to lead the new and the old to teach the new.
The "Jinyan School", which integrates learning and maintenance, has become a good "fun" place for residents.
The "Jinyan School", which has its own beauty and warmth, and the integration of learning and maintenance, has promoted the flower of community education in the North District to bloom in the daily life of residents, allowing community residents to see more possibilities. As Uncle Guang expects, "Love can last a long time, and I hope that the continuous classroom can make everyone's learning 'real', 'live', and life 'bright'." ”
