Beijing Tongwen Middle School – Humanity and Geology Field Study on the Ancient Camel Bell Ancient Road in the West of Beijing (1)
为落实《中共中央国务院关于进一步加强和改进未成年人思想道德建设的若干意见》和国家教育部《中小学开展弘扬和培育民族精神教育实施纲要》的精神，充分发挥“社会大课堂”在学生健康成长过程中的重要作用，推进素质教育向纵深发展。2023年12月1日，博文圣译国际文化交流中心（BTC）组织北京市同文中学初一学生开启京西驼铃古道人文地质研学活动。
In order to implement the spirit of the "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and The State Council on Further Strengthening and Improving the Ideological and Moral Construction of Minors" and the "Implementation Outline of Carrying Forward and Cultivating National Spirit Education in Primary and Secondary Schools" of the Ministry of Education, give full play to the importance of "field trip class" for the healthy growth of students, and promote the development of quality-oriented education in depth. On December 1, 2023, Beijing Broaden & Top-trans Communication Center (BTC) organized the Grade 7 students of Beijing Tongwen Middle School to take a humanity geology research activity on the Ancient Camel Bell Road in the west of Beijing.
为了让学生们在活动开始前对于京西驼铃古道有更深入的了解，我中心特别邀请了北京永定河文化研究会副会长侯秀丽专家为大家带来了研学先导课：从“磨石口”到“模式口”，侯老师把一条京西历史文化街区的中国式现代化变迁深入浅出的讲述给学生们听，学生们听的非常认真，而且积极地与专家进行互动。
In order to let the students have a deeper understanding of the Camel Bells Ancient Road in the west of Beijing, BTC specially invited Hou Xiuli, the vice president of Beijing Yongding River Cultural Research Association, to give students a lecture before setting off: from "Grinding Stone Spot" to "Pattern Spot". Mrs. Hou told the students about the changes of Chinese modernization on the historical and cultural streets in the west of Beijing. The students listened very carefully and actively interacted with the Mrs. Hou.
讲座结束后，孩子们都整装待发，在学校操场进行了安全教育后，带着热切的期盼和无比的喜悦启程前往京西驼铃古道。
After the lecture, the students were all ready to go with eager anticipation and great joy. All the students set off for the Camel Bells Ancient Road in the west of Beijing after a safety education in the school playground.
同学们在专家的带领下漫步驼铃古道，专家在行走的过程中会结合研学先导课的重要内容进行实地讲解。
The students walked along the Camel Bell Ancient Road under the guidance of the expert Mrs. Hou, she explained the road combining with the important content of the pre-departure lecture.
古街的尽头就是全国范围内唯一保存最完好、规格最高、石刻最精美的明代宦官墓-田义墓，同学们在专业的讲解员的带领下参观了园内保存的大量珍贵的墓葬石刻和石雕文物，石刻雕刻技法的精湛、细巧让同学们无不惊叹。
At the end of the old street is the only remaining eunuch graveyard of Ming Dynasty in China, which is the best preserved, the highest specification, and the most exquisite stone carving tomb. The students under the guidance of professional guides visited the graveyard, where a large number of precious tomb stone carvings and stone carving relics preserved. The students were amazed by the exquisite and delicate stone carving techniques.
随后我们来到了中国第四纪冰川遗迹陈列馆，它是世界上迄今为止独一无二的一座建在冰川遗迹旁的自然科学类博物馆。其中的镇馆之宝是由著名的地质学家李四光先生发现的冰川擦痕，同学们正在近距离感受大自然的鬼斧神工！
Then we came to the China Quaternary Glacial Vestige Glacier Hall, which is the only natural science museum built next to glacial relics in the world so far. One of the treasures of the Glacier Hall is the glacier scratch discovered by a famous Chinese geologist, Li Siguang. The students were experiencing the wonders of nature up close!
在我中心的协调和配合下，学校在冰川馆大厅举行了初一年级的建队活动，活动中夏伟平校长为七年级辅导员们颁发聘书，全体少先队员齐唱少先队队歌，重温入队誓词，用呼号的方式表达自己努力成长为优秀的共产主义事业的接班人的决心。
Under the coordination and cooperation of BTC, the school held a Young Pioneers team building activity for Grade 7 students in the Glacier Hall. In the activity, the principal Mr. Xia Weiping issued letters of appointment to the instructors of Grade 7. All the young pioneers sang the Young Pioneers' team song, reviewed the oath to join the team, and called out to express their determination of becoming an excellent successor of the cause of communism.
“读万卷书，行万里路”，自古以来读书和旅行都是开阔眼界，增长见识的有效途径。研学，是行走的课堂，它并不是简单意义上的游玩与参观，而是一次开阔眼界，品味人文的成长之旅。我中心多年来与多所学校合作组织各类研学游学和社会实践活动，每一次活动我中心都认真对待，我们都会结合各学校的学生特色、年龄特点及国家课程的学习内容确定研学主题及研学线路。然后进行实地线路考察，结合线路进行跨学科研学课程的开发。让孩子们在玩中学，丰富他们的生活体验，了解社会，增强自理能力、培养团队精神和实践能力。
"Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles", since ancient times, reading and traveling have been an effective way to broaden someone's horizon and increase knowledge. Field trip class is not a simple meaning of play and visit, but a journey of growth that students can broaden their horizon and feel the charm of humanity. Over the years, BTC has cooperated with many schools to organize various study tour and field trip, and BTC has taken each time of the activity seriously. BTC would firstly determine the research theme and route based on the characteristics of students, age characteristics, and the text book of national curriculum, and then develop interdisciplinary research courses with a survey of the field route. A field trip class allows students to learn through play, enriches their life experience, develops their understanding of society, enhances self-care ability, and cultivates team-work spirit and practical ability.
