During the autumn break from October 29 to November 2, the Provincial Cultural Center, drawing on the high-quality cultural resources of its various branches, launched a series of cultural activities across six major sections: stage performances, museum-based educational tours, intangible cultural heritage hands-on workshops, reading promotion, art exhibitions, and online interactions. These activities allowed primary and secondary school students to experience the charm of culture and gain growth experiences during the holiday, broadening their horizons through stage performances and museum visits, nourishing their spirits through intangible cultural heritage and reading, and cultivating patriotic sentiments through educational tours and science popularization.
Professional Artistic Charm Lights Up the Autumn Break and Nourishes Youth
The autumn break is not only a time for rest and relaxation, but also a golden window for young people to step outside the classroom and broaden their horizons. The children's plays The Little Match Girl and Pinocchio, presented with warm and lively staging, let children appreciate the value of cherishing, honesty, and bravery through storytelling. A Beethoven Night symphony concert opened the door to classical music with magnificent melodies, allowing young people to feel the passion for ideals and life through symphonic sound. The stage play Thunderstorm brought a textbook classic truly to life on stage, letting middle school students experience the dual charm of literature and performance amid the dramatic conflicts of a thunderstorm night. These activities covered drama, children's theater, symphonic music, and other art forms, accommodating the aesthetic needs of young people across different age groups, turning the autumn break from a monotonous cycle of homework and phone scrolling into an artistic journey that can be watched, felt, and contemplated. The solid performances and professional production of professional troupes also set an aesthetic standard for young people, sparking their interest in literature, performance, and music. It can be said that this autumn break artistic feast both enriched young people's holiday lives and allowed artistic literacy and spiritual growth to quietly take root in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
Museum Collections Inspire Wisdom, Intangible Heritage Shows Craftsmanship, Culture Takes Root
This autumn break, museum-based educational tours and intangible cultural heritage hands-on workshops opened a window for young people to touch traditional culture. The Liaoning Provincial Museum brought the classroom into the museum: "Mirror Wonders: Qin Tiles" led children to explore bronze mirror patterns and replicate Kui-pattern eaves tiles; "Clever Hands Assemble National Treasures: Homes of Northern Ethnic Groups" let children become "cultural relic restorers" in dialogue with "little guests" from northern ethnic groups about history; "Great Chinese Language in the Museum" traced the origins of dragon culture from the Jade Pig Dragon and directly connected Auspicious Crane Painting and Dream of Mourning with textbook Tang and Song poetry; "Red Scarf" and "Liaobo Blue" joint guided tours, Liaobo Lectures, the Research Academy national treasure treasure-hunt check-in, and the Tang-Song Splendor digital exhibition hall check-in with gifts transformed young people from "exhibition viewers" into "storytellers" and "explorers." "Fingertip Intangible Heritage: Autumn Elegant Gathering," drawing on collection elements such as Lady with Flower Hairpin, Auspicious Crane Painting, and the Jade Pig Dragon, introduced six major crafts: kingfisher feather inlay, leather carving, Jade Pig Dragon incense bead bracelet DIY, porcelain engraving, mother-of-pearl inlay, and frog button making. Under the guidance of intangible heritage teachers, children personally crafted their own works, experiencing the beauty of craftsmanship where cultural relics and traditional skills meet. The Provincial Cultural Heritage Protection Center selected Manchu embroidery, Feng-style paper-cutting, Chaoyang stone carving, pyrography art, and other projects to bring to Tieling Kaiyuan, carrying out intangible heritage "seven entries" activities, allowing high-quality intangible heritage resources to enrich the holiday lives of young people at the grassroots level. From immersive educational tours to fingertip inheritance, these activities enabled traditional culture to achieve a comprehensive experience at the grassroots level that can be seen, felt, and touched, making the autumn break a cultural journey filled with craftsmanship, warmth, and identity.
Reading Awakens Young Hearts, Aviation Serves the Nation, Practice Fosters Growth
This autumn break, the Liaoning Provincial Library created a growth journey for young people that blended aviation science popularization with reading practice. In cooperation with the AECC Shenyang Engine Research Institute, the "Children Reading Nature" aviation science popularization series, guided by the original science IP "Fazai," took young readers through aviation science picture books and into the world of aircraft engines, planting dreams of aviation and aspirations to serve the nation in their hearts. New energy electric aircraft science experiments let children personally assemble aircraft models and test the effects of different batteries on propeller speed, intuitively experiencing the importance of energy density for flight, getting close to science and advocating innovation through reading and hands-on practice, allowing the spirit of scientists and patriotic sentiment to quietly take root in young hearts. Intangible heritage educational tours were equally exciting: the "I Repair Ancient Books at Liaotu" Gezhi Workshop one-day camp let children experience traditional papermaking and woodblock printing, combined with "Oracle Bone Script Dance" to achieve a cross-disciplinary fusion of culture and art, experiencing the charm of intangible heritage inheritance under the guidance of professional teachers. Reading and practice ran in parallel: the "Children Read Role Models: Four Seasons Deep Reading" activity let children become "little librarians" organizing books and participating in children's book exchanges, learning about reading and responsibility through volunteer service, while also advancing from "having read" to "truly understanding" through the "Four Seasons Children's Reading" autumn volume deep reading challenge. From aviation science popularization to intangible heritage handicrafts, and then to reading practice, these activities gave the autumn break both scientific height, cultural depth, and the warmth of growth. During the autumn break, the series of activities brought high-quality cultural resources to young people, allowing children to ignite scientific dreams and cultivate patriotic aspirations through aviation science popularization, touch traditional culture and experience craftsmanship inheritance through museum educational tours and intangible heritage handicrafts, broaden their horizons and nourish their spirits through reading practice and stage art, and enjoy a fulfilling, wonderful, and meaningful autumn holiday.
