Looking at the history of the country from the rise and fall of ancient capitals, seeing the big view of small, understanding the laws of history development

Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing, and Hangzhou are all famous millennium ancient capitals. In these cities, the architecture and relics we see, the special foods we eat, the dialects we hear, and even the local urban planning are all history that has left for thousands of years!

Do you know that Beijing's Jishui Tan was a dock in the Yuan Dynasty?

It is not an ordinary dock, the end of the Beijing -Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Do you know what the clock tower and drum tower in Xi'an are used for?

The book said: In ancient cities, when the bell was hit in the morning and the drums were reported in the evening, this was also the origin of the "morning bell and twilight drums".

Speaking of history, this set of books is serious!

Take the "Xi'an" as an example, first describes its changing context, and the time numbers are the beautiful city maps. Image memory is easier to remember than numbers.

Then, starting from the Qin Dynasty. The label in the upper left corner marks the dynasty, and the name of Xi'an at the time. On the right, a poem describing the city and people at the time was attached.

While looking at the ancient style and ancient rhyme paintings, he recited "How does it say that there is no clothes, and the same robe with Zi. Wang Yuxing Master, repair me spear.

Speaking of major events, it is never ambiguous:

And in this set of books, some major historical events will also be presented at different angles in different segments.

For example, the Anshi Rebellion has appeared in "Xi'an" and "Beijing". Multi -angle shows the different influence of this war on these two cities.

"Xi'an" talks about the decline of Changan: Changan was ransacked, the people were destroyed, and the capital was relocated ...

"Beijing" is about the turmoil of the border plot: the smoke, the conflict of the border, the foreign rebellion ...

This echo between the volumes allows children to observe events from different angles and learn dialectical thinking.

For example, "Nanjing" talks about Jiangnan Gongyuan. Jiangnan Gongyuan is the largest and most influential imperial examination room in Chinese history. Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao are raised here in high school.

The "Beijing" introduced the ancient Great Wall. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the revolutionary revolution of the Great Wall was very thorough.

Reading this poem alone may not imagine what the "Changan flower" looks like, but looking at the bright spring light in the picture, you can understand the emotion behind the poem at once.

"The disorderly flowers are fascinating, and Asakusa can have no horseshoe." Bai Juyi's "Qiantang Lake Spring Walk" can be memorized, but that beautiful scenery seems to only exist in imagination.

Li Bai sings in the wine restaurant:

Looking at the page of "Beijing", the three people walked on the street holding the jar of the wine. Suddenly one of them fell a Malaysian party and looked painful! The fragments of the wine jar and the sprinkled wine splashed the people next to them!

At this time, you can refer to the text next to it to tell the children: During the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Dadu lived in the Han people, Mongolians, Hui people, and so on. At that time, there were businessmen and messengers from many countries.
