Abstract

Addressing the issues of over-abstraction and weak emotional engagement in traditional Chinese culture education for children, this study leverages the Manhua Guobao(Comic Tales of National Treasures) project to propose an innovative tripartite framework: cultural relic revitalization + artistic reinterpretation + pedagogical deepening. Grounded in child cognitive development principles, it employs four core strategies: personified narratives, three-dimensional value deconstruction, scaffolded learning modules, and multisensory engagement, to transform national treasures into “trans-temporal companions”. The implementation encompasses: 13-volume illustrated book series with digital extensions, Culturally inspired educational tools, Thematic curricula featuring “virtual museum immersion” activities. Over three years of practice reaching nearly 10,000 children, the project has demonstrably enhanced cultural interest and interpretative competencies while establishing a mutually empowering university-student partnership. This offers a replicable model for the creative transformation of traditional heritage.
