In the past few days, a series of activities such as "Our Festival, Chongyang Festival" and "Smart Technology of Nursing Homes", "Children's Reading of the Yellow River, Moisturizing Longyuan", "A Drop of Water Travel", and "Aphid Moving" fun picture book reading have been held one after another, and bursts of book fragrance have infiltrated Jincheng Lanzhou, engraved the warmest public memory for the city.

　　Inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture

　　In order to vigorously carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of respecting the elderly, filial piety and love for the elderly, and create a strong festive atmosphere, the theme reading activity of "Our Festival, Chongyang Festival" - "Smart Technology of Nursing Homes" was recently held in the Little Sapling School of Lanzhou Library.

　　At the beginning of the event, the host shared the origin of the ancient legends and customs of the Chongyang Festival, from the legendary story of Huan Jing slaying demons and exorcising demons to climbing high to avoid disasters, planting dogwood, and drinking chrysanthemum wine, leading the children to start a journey of cultural exploration of the Chongyang Festival. Subsequently, everyone was guided to recite ancient poems related to the Chongyang Festival in unison, such as "Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival", "Stay until Chongyang Day, and come to chrysanthemums", one by one classic poems echoed in the activity room, and the children conveyed their understanding and perception of the Chongyang Festival with their immature voices, expressing the true emotions of respecting and loving the elderly.

　　Then, the host shared the warm and touching picture book story "Grandpa Adjusts Work" for everyone. In the story, after the great-grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's disease, the whole family and even the people around him cooperated with the great-grandfather's "performance" with great patience and love. The children were amused by their grandfather's cute actions for a while, and their eyes were red by the strong grandparent-grandson affection between their families and father-son for a while.

　　After the story, the children raised their hands to speak and shared their feelings, and they deeply realized the care and care of their families and the entire community for the elderly and dementia, and also understood that the whole society should care for this special group. "The family affection flowing in the picture book is like a gurgling stream, nourishing the heart of every child." A parent who brought his child to the event said excitedly.

　　The host also carefully designed a unique sensory challenge activity. Through mini-games with earplugs, children can experience the process of hearing aging. The children were divided into two groups and participated with great interest. They cover their ears tightly, trying to listen and convey these two words. However, as the transmission progressed, the words gradually became blurred, and eventually neither sentence was passed on in its entirety. Looking at each other's confused expressions, the children began to realize that aging is not a matter only for the elderly, everyone will face the many inconveniences that aging brings to life, and also let the children have a more intuitive understanding of the difficulties faced by the elders, which further stimulates their feelings of caring for the elders.

　　Finally, the activity entered the handmade link of "Inventing the Elderly and the Young", and under the guidance of the staff, the children had to follow the steps to make voice-activated night lights for the elders. They carefully disassembled the parts and methodically installed the lamp top, lamp body, base, and voice control device. When the small and exquisite voice-activated night lights lit up in the hands of the children, the children's faces were filled with smiles. They know that this is not only a night light, but also an affectionate love and care for their elders.

　　This time, through the method of "picture book + game + handicraft", the children felt the profound connotation of traditional culture in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and sowed the seeds of "respecting the elderly, respecting the elderly, loving the elderly, and helping the elderly" in the hearts of the children, and further inherited and carried forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

　　Dig deep into the value of the Yellow River cultural era

　　A few days ago, the theme reading activity of "Children's Reading of the Yellow River, Moistening Longyuan" and "A Drop of Water Travel" was held in the Little Sapling School of Lanzhou Library. Through the holding of activities, we will dig deep into the value of the times of the Yellow River culture, tell the "Yellow River story", continue the historical context, and enhance the sense of identity and pride of children in local culture.

　　At the beginning of the event, the host shared the picture book "A Big River" with emotion for the children, which cleverly connected the feelings of home and country with the "big river" as a clue, which used a magnificent mural style picture, with the first-person cordial narration of the Yellow River, starting from the source of the Yellow River and depicting all the way to the estuary, showing the majestic momentum of the Yellow River in an all-round way.

　　In the narration, it not only presents the civilization accumulation and historical relics along the Yellow River, but also vividly shows the local folk customs. The children are immersed in the world of picture books, their eyes closely following the flow of the picture. In their eyes, this river is not only a natural landscape on the land of their hometown, but also a witness to the development and changes of the motherland. Through reading, the children have a more intuitive and profound understanding of the Yellow River and feel the profound heritage of the Yellow River culture.

　　Subsequently, the hot challenge of the Yellow River knowledge team pushed the atmosphere of the event to a climax. The children formed a number of energetic small teams in groups of five to win materials for the subsequent co-creation and handicraft session. The competition topics revolve around the content of picture books, involving the length of the Yellow River, its source, its estuary, and its flow through the city. The competition was fierce, and the children were quick to think and actively answered.

　　Whenever the teacher asked a question, the young contestants thought quickly and raised their hands enthusiastically. Some groups cooperated tacitly and answered many questions correctly in a row, winning bursts of applause; Although some groups temporarily lagged behind, they were not discouraged and continued to work hard to catch up. Through the knowledge competition, the children consolidated the knowledge they learned in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and stimulated their enthusiasm for exploring the Yellow River culture.

　　The final co-creation handmade session was a highlight of the event, and the children gave full play to their imagination and creativity to shape the Yellow River in their hearts with soil. The Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bends, and the children carefully select a section of the river basin from the source to the estuary and the unique Yellow River landscape in the cities of the Yellow River Basin, carefully ponder the flow direction and trend of the Yellow River, and integrate the geographical characteristics and cultural landscapes along the way to shape. some groups have shaped the clear streams at the source of the Yellow River and the surrounding mountains; some groups depict the rushing waves and ancient bridges in the middle reaches of the Yellow River; Some groups have built a lively city scene along the Yellow River, and each work is unique. Through handmade, the children's understanding and perception of the Yellow River have been deepened.

　　The event ended, and the fragrance of books remained. In this wonderful activity, the children not only learned about the rich connotation of the Yellow River culture, but also planted the seeds of loving their hometown rivers and protecting natural resources in their hearts.

　　Immerse yourself in picture books and stimulate reading interest

　　Recently, a fun reading activity with the theme of the picture book "Aphid Moving" was held in the Central Square Branch of Lanzhou Library.

　　At the beginning of the event, the host let the children quickly integrate into the atmosphere of the event through simple and childlike interactive games, and then shared the picture book "Aphid Moving" with everyone, and started the drama interpretation session.

　　Under the leadership of the staff, the children transformed into little aphids in the picture book, using vivid body movements and interesting dialogues to interpret the interesting stories of the aphids moving in the picture book story of "Aphid Moving". At the scene, parents who accompanied their children to participate in the activities also took the initiative to join, playing roles and participating in the plot with their children, and the tacit cooperation between parents and children made the whole interpretation process particularly exciting.

　　A parent told reporters: "This picture book reading activity not only allows children to immerse themselves in the charm of picture book stories through the novel form and active interaction of 'picture book + drama performance', but also further stimulates children's reading interest and imagination, exercises children's expression ability and sense of cooperation, and makes the educational concept of learning while playing and having fun in learning truly implemented." Moreover, through parent-child interaction, it also enhances the emotional connection of the family, which is really beneficial. ( Li Chao, chief reporter of this newspaper)
