Every child should take a homesickness class

Talk about the origin of Beijing's time-honored brand, design a renovation plan for the Yuhe Quqiao, and publicize the "little tour guide" in the avatar hutong... At the special exchange seminar on comprehensive practical activities held by primary and secondary schools in the city recently, the results of the "Geography Curriculum" displayed by the Black Sesame Hutong Primary School in Dongcheng District were eye-catching.

What is a "Geography Course"? Simply put, it is a "hometown nostalgia" class, which shows the precious culture and historical inheritance of the school area. In recent years, in order to improve the comprehensive quality of young people, the Ministry of Education has issued an outline that clearly requires primary and secondary schools to carry out practical activities, and many schools have spent a lot of thought. Take The Black Sesame Hutong Primary School, relying on the unique regional conditions at the foot of the Drum Tower and the northern end of the central axis, four modules of school history course, hutong course, Grand Canal course and central axis course have been launched, so that children can go out, ground the gas, and feel the cultural charm of old Beijing in touching the texture of the hutong and visiting the old road of the Yuhe River. With the improvement of the understanding of the land under his feet and the customs and customs, the little teenager not only deepened his understanding of life, but also had a stronger sense of love and identity for his hometown.

Some people say that the hometown is the world that everyone sees at the beginning of life. And this square world is not only a physical space that accommodates life, but also contains a wealth of folk customs and customs, continuing the cultural inheritance of thousands of years. Whether it is the historical evolution, the cultural hometown sound, or the brick by brick, street and shop, they all constitute the common memory of people born and raised in Slovakia to confirm their belonging. But it has to be said that in recent years, the development has changed with each passing day, the city has accelerated its change, the common geographical cohesion has gradually relaxed at the spatial level, more and more people have become alienated from the land under their feet, and even "know astronomy from above, geography at the bottom, but do not know the origin of the name of their hometown." Therefore, it is particularly necessary to pin emotions from the historical context and recognize belonging in the closeness to the hometown. In this sense, everyone should take a "homeland nostalgia" class, and incorporating it into the classroom to grasp from the doll will undoubtedly make this emotional attachment more solid.

How to take the child's "Hometown Nostalgia" class? In the author's opinion, compared with the macro abstract science, the concrete and perceptible things around them can resonate more; compared with the hurried "punch card", the real visit slow experience can touch people's hearts more. Especially for Beijing, sitting on more than 3,000 years of history of city building and more than 800 years of capital construction history, historical and cultural resources are extremely rich. The red wall and yellow tiles have witnessed the vicissitudes of the years, and there are endless stories in ordinary alleys, and any "take a scoop" can shine brightly, and children can also benefit a lot from unique experiences. Schools may wish to base themselves on the region, explore the characteristics, and make fun. By working engaging people and spending effort on the small drops, the course Homeland Nostalgia can really enter the mind.

In the last chapter of the film "My Hometown and Me", the protagonist has a simple sentence that is particularly moving: "I grew up in a small mountain village, which is the most beautiful place in the world." "No matter how far we go, the word hometown will always be the softest place in our hearts." In the ever-changing atomized society, I hope that there will be more edification activities like "geopolitical courses" so that more people can understand their hometowns and remember their nostalgia.
