Summary
A novel cultural education program integrating Beijing's Central Axis heritage with traditional Chinese festival culture significantly boosted youth engagement and cultural confidence. The 'Central Axis Sequence - Festive Seasons Study Tour' combined customized routes, expert lectures, interactive experiences, and digital integration to deliver immersive learning, reaching over 10,000 participants across schools and communities. Analysis revealed the program's effectiveness in fostering cultural knowledge, innovation, and identity through a three-in-one model ('cultural identity - experiential learning - spatial production'), offering a scalable framework for heritage education. This approach bridges policy goals with practical implementation, demonstrating measurable impact on cultural preservation and youth development.
