Dewey, an American educator, once thought that the most obvious drawback of traditional curriculum was that it was divorced from children's personal life and experience. To build children's interest in learning knowledge, it is necessary to eliminate the disconnection between their real life and the curriculum. In the Chicago Experimental School he founded, history education begins with community and local history.

Grade 9 can be said to be a school curriculum that takes some local phenomena as teaching resources and combines students' learning and life experience to carry out teaching activities. Summarizing scholars' interpretations of Grade 9, the common point is to let students know about the people, events and things in their lives, including living environment, historical figures, natural landscape, traditional art and culture, etc., so that they can identify with and love their homeland and inspire them to improve the environment and the party's will and ability.

As far as history is concerned, it originated very early in China. In the book "Zhou Li", there were words such as "Teach people to be safe with customs, so that people don't steal" and "Teach people with rural things, and make people happy", mainly through the life education of local folk customs, which shows that China has attached importance to the ninth grade since ancient times. In grade 9, the local phenomenon is used as a teaching resource to carry out local teaching activities, which is not only convenient to cooperate with students' real life experience, but also conducive to cultivating students' sense of responsibility for understanding, caring and identifying with the local area. Due to the vigorous promotion of the ninth grade in modern times, scholars have different views on the ninth grade. The ninth grade aims not only to acquire local knowledge, but also to love, understand, develop and transform the local area. In the ninth grade, children should feel that they are part of the local culture and are willing to serve the local society, from their love for the local area or local feelings to their love, transformation and development of the country. This is the true meaning of ninth grade. The importance of grade 9 lies in guiding students to understand the local environment and inherit their hometown culture; Appreciate the local customs and stimulate the feelings of loving your hometown.

Grade 9 should refer to the education that enables students to understand and know their native land where they grew up or lived for a long time from the humanistic, natural and social environment of life, so as to show concern and recognition for their native land and be willing to contribute to improving the local environment. Therefore, it is an interesting, knowledgeable, emotional and practical education, which not only cultivates students' local consciousness and love for local view and world outlook, but also carries out personality education, life education, national spirit education and multicultural education.
