How brilliant is the scientific starry sky in textbooks
2025-09-18
This autumn semester, the People's Education Press added a new text to the eighth grade Chinese textbook titled "There is a 'Southern Rendong Star' in the Sky", which has sparked heated discussions. The stories of scientists in textbooks, such as Nan Rendong's lifelong pursuit of stars, Yuan Longping's pursuit of dreams in rice fields, and Deng Jiaxian's perseverance in the Gobi Desert, have vividly planted the "seeds" of science worship in the hearts of young people, making the spirit of scientists a profound memory for a generation. What are the considerations behind the story of scientists entering textbooks? What other activities did teachers and students engage in besides reading the text? Let's take a look at the vivid practices of several schools. As soon as the new textbook "Nanren Dongxing" was released, Zou Yuhao started flipping through it. Soon, his gaze fell on a new text - "There is a Nanren Dongxing in the Sky". Zou Yuhao is a student in the second year of junior high school at the 18th Middle School in Guiyang, Guizhou Province. Like many classmates, this is not the first time he has seen Nan Rendong's story, but the first time he has learned it in a textbook. Reading it feels very familiar and familiar, and the image of Grandpa Nanrendong comes to mind, "said Zou Yuhao. Unexpectedly, the pursuit of" stars "has reached the textbook. It took Nan Rendong 22 years to turn the 'Chinese Eye' from a concept into a reality. He devoted his whole life to the country and science, and the spirit of a scientist in him must be passed down. ”Chen Xi, the leader of the Chinese language teaching and research group in the second year of junior high school, said that in order to teach this lesson well, the teaching and research group has carefully prepared a teaching plan. Before class, let students collect information to understand the life of scientists; In class, combined with excerpts from the text, we can experience the spirit of scientists through the deeds of characters; After class, guide students to write letters to scientists, discussing their insights and ideals through conversations that span time and space. We want to use the word 'star' in our article 'There is a' Nanrendong Star 'in the sky', which not only reflects Nanrendong's contribution to exploring the universe, but also introduces a small asteroid named 'Nanrendong Star'. ”Chen Xi said, "This is the 'star' that students should follow." Although only the second grade of junior high school is studying this text, the school plans to organize rehearsals of stage plays in the third grade of junior high school, using different learning forms to enable more students to appreciate the spirit of scientists and sow the seeds of science serving the country. Zhou Yicheng, a first grade student, once accompanied his parents to Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture to visit the Nanrendong Memorial Hall and gaze at the "Chinese Eye of Heaven" during his elementary school years. The radio telescope that captures space information is so spectacular that it leaves her in awe. Scientists are particularly amazing! Success is not achieved overnight, often experiencing many setbacks. We need to have the spirit of persisting in our ideals and never giving up. We need to show this enthusiasm and learn this quality. ”This summer, Zhou Yicheng signed up to participate in a speech competition to promote the spirit of scientists. "I also want to become a scientist like Grandpa Nanrendong, explore the universe, dedicate to our country, and never give up!" In recent years, relying on abundant research resources, a number of research bases have emerged in Guizhou. Guiyang No.18 Middle School encourages students to experience the charm of science up close during their holidays, accompanied by their parents. The shaping of values among teenagers is crucial. We hope that students love science and their country, enhance their national confidence and pride, and draw nourishment and strength from the spirit of scientists on the path of pursuing their dreams. ”Chen Xi said. Walking into the rice paddies, understanding the dream of enjoying the cool breeze under the crops. The wind in the fields blows, and the seedlings sway gently. At the Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science Park in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, 30 students from a high school in Chengdu walked along the field embankment and asked questions. How long does it take for rice to grow from a single seed? ”What variety is this? Is the rice we eat from this type of rice? ”On the side, Xu Yu, the research supervisor and director of the Cultural and Educational Center of Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science Park, patiently answered. She also occasionally guided, 'Close your eyes and listen to what sounds are in the fields?' The study in the rice fields helped students understand the concept of 'soil air' in textbooks. As written in the text "Enjoying the Thousand Waves of Rice and Rice - Remembering Yuan Longping, the winner of the First National Science and Technology Award": "He (Yuan Longping) once dreamed that rice grew as tall as sorghum and ears as big as brooms." Walking in the fields, children better understand the "dream of enjoying the cool under the grass", which is the spirit of scientists rooted and growing. In 2020, Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science Park was opened. The park has built the Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science and Technology Museum, Academician Workshop, and Youth Agricultural Innovation Center, supporting more than 2000 acres of high standard farmland. In order to realize the 'Youth Agricultural Aspiration', we have also established the 'Yuan Longping Youth School' study camp and labor education base. ”Xu Yu introduced that various research-based courses such as the Mud Classroom and the Rice Fish Symbiosis not only allow young people to personally experience the struggle process of "enjoying the cool under the grass dream", but also enable them to understand the important significance of modern agricultural technology for food security. Entering the Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science and Technology Museum, the journey of a single grain of rice begins. At the Yuan Longping Scientist Spirit Exhibition Area, the photo of Grandpa Yuan wearing a straw hat and standing barefoot in the rice field left a deep impression on the students; In the physical exhibition area, from wild rice ears to hybrid rice seeds, from yellowed manuscripts to images, the stories of scientists step out of textbooks, and the spirit of scientists is deeply rooted in their hearts. Children are moved by Grandpa Yuan's lifelong dedication. Since the beginning of this year, the Yuan Longping Hybrid Rice Science and Technology Museum has carried out more than 60 research activities, covering 15000 young people. Connecting classrooms and fields, the park carries out various forms of popular science education. Immersive study courses can help stimulate young people's love for agriculture and cultivate their interest in agricultural science, "said Xu Yu. When children personally plant seedlings and touch heavy rice ears," who knew that every grain on the plate was hard work "is no longer just a poem in textbooks, but a touching experience engraved in their hearts. Atomic City recalls earth shattering noise, Qinghai's autumn comes early and goes fast. The grassland of Jinyintan in September has almost turned yellow in color. In 1958, Deng Jiaxian bid farewell to his wife and came here. Liu Rong is a student of the Third Junior High School in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County, Qinghai Province. At the beginning of this semester, she came to the Qinghai Atomic City Memorial Hall on Jinyintan with more than a hundred classmates to "attend classes". After reading the article "Deng Jiaxian" in Chinese textbooks, Liu Rong is not unfamiliar with Deng Jiaxian's deeds: "Deng Jiaxian always stood at the forefront of China's atomic weapon design, manufacturing, and research, and successfully designed China's atomic and hydrogen bombs with many scholars and technicians." The towering building was not built in a day, nor was it smooth sailing. At the Atomic City Memorial Hall, students had a firsthand experience. Walking through the restored office of Deng Jiaxian in the memorial hall, students learned about the story of "9 calculations". Back then, Deng Jiaxian and other young researchers recalculated the basic data left by Soviet experts. They worked three shifts a day, day and night, and spent nearly a year performing nine calculations on the data, but the final result still did not match the data left by Soviet experts. Later, theoretical physicist Zhou Guangzhao returned to China from the Soviet Union and determined that the data provided by Soviet experts was incorrect. At the former site of the State owned 221 Factory, a nuclear weapon development base not far from the Atomic City Memorial Hall, students saw the abacus and computer used by Deng Jiaxian at that time. The 104 workshop here attempts to recreate the working environment of scientists such as Deng Jiaxian as much as possible. The students also understood more details of the text, and many were moved to tears. Most of the students in the class are native Qinghai natives, how could they not know what the Jinyintan grassland looks like in winter? Fierce winds and howls, flying sand and rocks, the lowest temperature can drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Later, Deng Jiaxian was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and his illness tormented him. Student Mai Jixia remembered what was written in the text, that during the two surgeries, Deng Jiaxian also participated in writing a proposal on the development of China's nuclear weapons. Leaving the memorial hall, students gained a deeper understanding of Deng Jiaxian's story of "doing earth shattering deeds and burying famous people with hidden surnames" while reading the text. "The text says that Deng Jiaxian is an 'ideal party member of the CPC'. I will learn from him and become an 'ideal party member' in the future!" said student Ma Yu. (New Society)
