Earth pulse

The classic documentary produced by BBC is hard to surpass. Through the migration experience of three animals in the increasingly harsh global environment, we can awaken the world to cherish the earth and fight against global warming.

From the South Pole to the North Pole, from the equator to the cold zone, from the African grassland to the tropical rain forest, and then from the desolate peaks to the deep sea, countless creatures are presented to the world in an extremely beautiful posture. We saw the ups and downs of the Okavango flood and the living conditions of the surrounding animals, and saw the precious pictures of snow leopards hunting in the heavy snow. I saw the harsh interdependence of penguins, polar bears, seals and other creatures on the ice sheet, and also saw the magical creatures living in the high temperature environment of the crater in the depths of the ocean.

This documentary is known as "an unprecedented tribute to the earth" and is the most touching ecological documentary. This film can not only let children see the most incredible beauty on this planet, but also arouse children's thinking about environmental protection.

beautiful China

The film was jointly produced by CCTV and BBC, and lasted for 4 years. Shooting with advanced photography techniques such as aerial photography, infrared, high speed, time delay and underwater, from brightly lit metropolis to sparsely populated deep mountains and forests. From the vast prairie to the deserted desert Gobi; From mountainous areas with perennial snow to endless plains; From the vast land to the blue sea and blue sky.

China, an ancient and magical land, contains a variety of landforms, nurtures children of all ethnic groups, and breeds all kinds of exotic beasts and flowers. This time, through the lens, we went to visit the beautiful wonders scattered on this land. Go along the Yangtze River valley to see the strange rocks and forests created by karst landforms; Go to the tropical rain forest in Yunnan and look for Asian wild elephants and Yunnan golden monkeys; Come to Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, go to Inner Mongolia grassland, climb mountains and overlook the western border. This is the beautiful China that you and I are familiar with and unfamiliar with.

Splendid china, with splendid rivers and mountains, is worth exploring by children. This documentary can help children discover the natural beauty of China, and at the same time let them try to understand the harmony and conflict between man and nature.

The scenery of time

In the vast starry sky, hundreds of millions of planets are all over the night sky, scrambling to shine with bright life; At the top of the mountain, light and shadow change, time changes, and the light of the city merges into shining and jumping light. The earth embraces the sky with a humble and broad mind.

In the high-speed and exciting running rhythm of the universe, we are close to every river, every valley and every cave, feel the pulsating rhythm of the universe and return to the embrace of eternal time. Every sunrise brings strength and courage; Every night, let the mind calm; The annihilation of clouds makes the mind experience distant time.

This documentary, in addition to letting children learn to appreciate the dynamic beauty of the universe, may also cause children to think about philosophy. The point is to appreciate with curiosity and exploration.

microworld

The microscopic insect world brings not only visual shock to the audience, but also the truth that nature cannot tell human beings. Here, the usually "scary" insect door shows a different kind of beauty.

When you look at the world carefully, you will find that the hair of the caterpillar is so smooth; Snails that snuggle up to each other are warm enough to make people cry; Hard-working dung beetles is seriously dealing with his own dung ball every day; Spiders will use a small bubble as their own restaurant underwater; Long horned beetles compete with each other like bulls. Every bug is not idle to waste time.

A flower and a world, a tree and a bodhi. Even if it is very small, the bug is still alive seriously. Adults and children should learn to listen to their whispers quietly ~ learn to cherish every day!

I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City.

Craftsman spirit is the inheritance of ancient culture in China, and this spirit is gradually losing. The restoration of cultural relics is not only the restoration of a dead thing, but also the inheritance of ancient cultural heritage. Our children should understand the meaning of heredity.

March of the Penguins

Best documentary at the 78th Academy Awards. In this film, the emperor penguin, which has always given people a funny and lovely impression, shows an unknown reproductive strength.

When birds use their wings to realize their dreams and soar in the sky that we can never reach, what kind of admiration should human beings give them? We are not watching the migration of birds in the movie, but flying over Qian Shan with them, flapping our wings in the sky and following the birds to realize their dreams.
