When the clarion call for rural revitalization resounded throughout the land of China, the Zhuhai University of Science and Technology Wuyu Butterfly Commando (hereinafter referred to as the "Practice Team") responded to the call of the country with practical actions. From June 30 to July 13, 2024, at the Citizen Culture and Art Center of Sanzao Town, Jinwan District, Zhuhai City, an educational feast called "Colorful Butterflies Spread Their Wings - Sanzao Volunteer Teaching Flying Program" not only brought a double feast of knowledge and fun to rural youth, but also fully stimulated the children's inherent potential and injected fresh educational vitality into rural revitalization under the innovative education model of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education.

[Innovation and integration, cultural empowerment]
The practice team innovatively integrated local cultural characteristics into educational practice, and through the in-depth experience of intangible cultural heritage, it not only enhanced the educational value of the activity, but also opened up a new path for the inheritance and development of rural culture, enhanced the cohesion of the community, and made the educational practice of rural revitalization more colorful.
【Conclusion】
The successful implementation of the "Colorful Butterfly Wings - Sanzao Teaching Flying Plan" has not only brought educational opportunities for rural youth to develop in an all-round way, but also written a wonderful chapter of education first and cultural inheritance in the grand narrative of rural revitalization. Let us hope that more such practices can dance on the field of rural education like colorful butterflies, adding a strong touch to the picture of rural revitalization.
On the journey of rural revitalization, the integration and innovation of education and culture are leading rural teenagers to spread their wings and fly towards a broader world with the trend of "colorful butterflies spreading their wings", and jointly draw a magnificent picture of rural revitalization.
