From how the ancients ate, dressed, rested, rode by car, did math problems and played games ... to how the ancients governed the country, how to produce and do business, how to treat diseases and prevent disasters, and how to defend the country ... "This history is so interesting" starts with specific life scenes and enlightens children in history. The book consists of eight volumes, relying on the rich collection resources of domestic museums, firmly grasping the essence of China traditional culture, systematically sorting out the most valuable, distinctive and representative 120 national treasures in various historical periods in ancient China, and taking young readers into China's 5,000-year civilization by means of graphic stories.
Qi Jixiang knows many cultural relics like the back of his hand, but when he wrote a national treasure story for his children, he made great efforts in the selection of cultural relics and the establishment of topics. Because "young readers like it at first sight", there are not only stories to tell, but also some enlightenment from moral cultivation: to enhance national pride, to deepen patriotism, or to involve etiquette, honesty, friendship, diligence and other aspects of Lide's self-cultivation. Han Yu said that "being a teacher, preaching and teaching can also solve doubts", and Qi Jixiang tried to be selected as a cultural relic with the connotation of "preaching", which is logical and natural and cannot be copied mechanically. Choosing cultural relics to tell stories in this way is quite one in a million.
The title of each cultural relic also makes Qi Jixiang attach great importance to it. It is true that every cultural relic has a name, but that is the name that cultural workers objectively reflect the attributes of every cultural relic. In order to make readers read more kindly, Qi Jixiang nicknamed all the cultural relics he talked about. For example, his nickname for "square-collared embroidered women's dress" is "amusement park on red embroidered clothes". "Don't call it easy to remember, you must also summarize the characteristics of this cultural relic." Qi Jixiang said that he often thinks about topics while walking his dog, and it is often easier to "epiphany" by subway or bus.
The readers of this book are set to read by parents aged 4 to 8, and read independently at the age of 8 12. In order to let the story really enter the hearts of young readers, Qi Jixiang pondered over three sentences when writing: How can they understand it? How can I write it to make them like it? How can you write to make them remember? Under such self-demand, this history is so interesting that it was recognized by children and praised by experts after publication.
Dan Jixiang, president of the China Cultural Relics Society and director of the Academic Committee of the Palace Museum, commented that this book is a vivid and extensive history and culture lesson for children. Ha Jun, secretary general of Beijing Museum Society, believes that museums are necessary for children's learning and growth. At the same time, children also need correct and effective guidance and explanation when visiting museums. "This History is so Interesting" just builds a bridge between the museum and the children, explaining the cultural relics and history in detail and vividly in a way that children can understand and like, helping children understand the ins and outs of each cultural relic and inspiring them to think. Children can not only take the museum home through this set of books, but also visit the museum with this set of books, and learn while watching and deepen their understanding.
