Recently, the investigation team of folk historical documents from the School of Economics of Tianjin Normal University entered the Tianjin Tourism Foreign Affairs Vocational High School in Jinnan District, and brought the ideological and political practice class with the theme of "protecting memory and inheriting civilization" to the students of four classes.
In the class, the members of the investigation team showed the folk literature excavated from more than 130 villages in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei over the years, including the bridge-building tablets in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, the commercial account books in Guangxu period, and the land contracts in the Republic of China. Members walked into the middle of the students and explained the story of rescuing these documents and the history behind them. Zhang Zhihe, a teacher led by the investigation team, said: "We hope that through the integrated ideological and political courses, including some exhibitions and community presentations, the folk historical documents we have studied can be’ alive’, and we can truly and practically come to our classmates and the masses, so that everyone can feel the history and culture together and inherit the history and culture." ?
Walking into the high school classroom with a wooden box of folk literature and materials, turning academic achievements into vivid teaching materials, this ideological and political lesson is both interesting and "informative". Student Yang Yaqi said: "This ideological and political course has a strong sense of participation. Through the teachers’ explanations, I not only felt the thickness of history, but also felt the temperature contained in it."
The integrated ideological and political course not only broadens students’ horizons, but also encourages the sharing of resources between schools and the reference of teaching methods. An Zhiquan, secretary of the Party Committee of Tianjin Tourism Foreign Affairs Vocational High School, said that he would actively explore and make use of inter-school cooperation to enhance the charm of the ideological and political class, guide students to understand the feelings of home and country from traditional culture, and establish a correct outlook on life and values.
