We choose the crystallization of ancestral wisdom -- Chinese classics, hoping that students can stand on the shoulders of giants, absorb the rich wisdom of ancestors, and reach the new height of history. For younger students, we mainly lead them to experience and learn the "feast of rhythm", listen to "the narration of ancestors" and "the singing of ancestors", and travel through time and space to find the "mother of vernacular Chinese " by following the classics of poetry. We will take older students to activate the wisdom of the sages, stand on the shoulders of giants, read the integrity story and feel the heroic spirit.
