In the new semester of this spring, Shaanxi cultural relics "piled up" appeared in the second volume of the seventh grade "Art and Art" published by Zhejiang People's Fine Arts Publishing House. It is worth noting that in the fall of 2024, the first volume of the seventh grade "Chinese History" published by the People's Education Publishing House not only chose the national treasure He Zun as the cover, but also added elements of Shaanxi cultural relics such as the human-faced fish-patterned pottery pot, the Qin Terracotta Warriors, the gilded bronze horse, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and the Sima Qian Temple.

無獨有偶，近日，在延長石油榆神能化公司工作的黨美婭收到一份特殊的“喜報”——她拍攝的50萬噸/年煤基乙醇項目實景圖片，經過嚴格篩選，正式入選人民教育出版社出版的全國義務教育九年級化學教科書。無論是文物還是工業，陝西元素成為入選教材的“高頻選擇”。

Shaanxi cultural relics are frequently "out of the circle"

As the treasure of the Baoji Bronze Museum, He Zun has been selected into the teaching materials many times. The reporter flipped through the first volume of the new textbook "Chinese History" for the seventh grade and found that He Zun not only became the cover of the new textbook, but also appeared in the second unit Lesson 8. In the just-published second volume of the seventh grade "Art and Art", there is also a graphic introduction to He Zun.

In 122 years, He Zun was unearthed in Jiacun Town, Baoji, Shaanxi. There is an inscription of 0 characters cast at the bottom of the statue, among which "Zhaizi China" is the earliest written record of the word "China". "The 'middle' on the golden text is like a flag fluttering in the wind. This 'Zhong' not only represents China, but also has many traditional Chinese cultural ideas embodied in this 'Zhong' character. Yin Xiaqing, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Cultural Heritage of Northwest University, said.

"The cover of the textbook is not only the first picture that students see in class, but also a kind of transmission of information and concepts. A cover with deep connotation will stimulate children's stronger interest in learning. Liu Xiaopeng, a Chinese teacher at Xihang No. 1 Middle School in Xi'an, said. He Zun appeared on the cover of history textbooks, for Shaanxi students, proud, familiar, cordial, everyone is more interested in exploring the origin of He Zun, and naturally integrate themselves into it as the inheritor of Chinese civilization and the witness of Chinese history.

In the second lesson of the new textbook "Chinese History", "Primitive Society and Prehistoric Society", the Banpo site in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an is introduced, and pictures of cultural relics such as human-faced fish-patterned pottery pots, pottery xun, pottery spinning wheels, stone adzes, and bone arrowheads unearthed from the site are distributed. "In recent years, fruitful achievements have been made in the field of archaeology in China, especially the 'Chinese Civilization Exploration Project' reveals the historical process of the origin, formation and early development of Chinese civilization." Ye Xiaobing, deputy director of the Compulsory Education History Textbook Editing Committee and editor-in-chief of the first volume of the seventh grade, said that the reason why many archaeological excavations of cultural relics have been added to the textbook is to show the specific appearance of China's prehistoric society more clearly and use archaeological results to prove the development process of China's primitive society.

Cultural relics "speak" Let interest take root in the heart

"The golden dragon, the mandarin duck lotus petal pattern gold bowl and the gold comb back displayed in the fourth unit of the second volume of "Art and Fine Arts" in the seventh grade were unearthed in the cellar of Hejia Village in the southern suburbs of Xi'an City, and are now collected in the Shaanxi History Museum." Speaking of the cellar in Hejiacun, Xu Kai, a lover of cultural relics in Xi'an's "post-1000", opened the chatterbox. "The Hejiacun cellar is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the Tang Dynasty in the 0th century, and more than 0 pieces of gold and silverware, jade, Chinese and foreign coins, and bronze artifacts buried underground for thousands of years are magnificently presented in front of people's eyes."

"Some time ago, I took my children to visit the Shaanxi History Museum, and I saw this gold comb back in the textbook, which is very beautiful!" Mr. Qin, who lives in Fengcheng 5th Road, a northern suburb of Xi'an, told reporters that the production of the gold comb back comprehensively uses the filigree process and special processes such as gold bead welding, which was introduced from the West during the Han Dynasty and was called "Golden Basket Baodian" in the Tang Dynasty. "My daughter is in the fifth grade of primary school this year, she loves history and is very interested in cultural relics, and I have taken her to visit more than 30 museums." Mr. Qin said.

The reporter noticed that in the second volume of "Art and Fine Arts" in the seventh grade, the Sanshi plate unearthed in Fengxiang District, Baoji City was impressively listed. This bronze from the Western Zhou Dynasty is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, China. The Sanshi plate is not only a fine bronze ritual vessel, but also an inscription of more than 350 characters in its abdomen, which is an important historical material for the study of the land system and contract relationship in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, carrying a historical memory spanning thousands of years.

"The teacher specially found the book "Art and Fine Arts" for us, from the basic information of the Sanshi plate, the historical evolution, to the content of the inscription, the value of calligraphy and the cultural implication, to explain to us in an all-round way, such a class, no longer limited to the words in the book, but through cultural relics, so that the history becomes vivid and sensible." Mao Yiting, a seventh-grade student at Xinjian Road Middle School in Baoji City, said.

In the second volume of "Art and Fine Arts" in the seventh grade, 2000 pieces of Tang Dynasty gold and silver ware collected by the Famen Temple Museum are also introduced-gilt Feihong ball road pattern silver cage, gilt silver turtle box, and gilded Yanglian petal circle foot silver bowl. In 0 years, the dusty thousand-year-old Tang Pagoda underground palace of Famen Temple was opened, and 0 Buddha finger relics and more than 0 pieces of Tang Dynasty court cultural relics, including gold and silverware, secret color porcelain, glazed ware, and tea utensils, were officially unearthed, which was amazed by the world for a while. "After the opening of the Tang Tower underground palace of Famen Temple, experts at home and abroad unanimously exclaimed that as soon as the underground palace of Famen Temple opened, it was half of the Tang Dynasty." Xu Kai said.

In addition to cultural relics, Shaanxi's industrial elements are also featured in the teaching materials.
