Guangqi Deng's "moon" in Xujiahui Academy to taste the fragrance of books in the Mid-Autumn Festival
With the moonlight as the medium and the fragrance of books as the gift, in Xujiahui Academy, the branch venue of the Tang Yun Mid-Autumn Festival, citizens and tourists immersed themselves in the Mid-Autumn Festival scholarly life.
"Xu Guangqi on the Moon" appeared in the Academy Square, the first person in China to observe celestial bodies with a telescope, incarnated as a cute cartoon image, colliding with the giant moon punching device to create a contrast. As the first person in China to use a telescope to observe celestial bodies, nearly 400 years ago, Xu Guangqi observed solar and lunar eclipses through a telescope, and sighed, "If you don't use this method, you will not be able to rely on your eyes." Hundreds of years later, Chang'e realized Xu Guangqi's dream of observing the moon. About 250 meters northwest of the Chang'e-5 landing site in the northern part of the Moon's frontal storm ocean, there is a ring crater, named "Xu Guangqi". "Xu Guangqi" landed on the moon in another form, and the collision of technology and romance continues to write the Chinese nation's continuous exploration and yearning for the universe and the unknown for thousands of years.
In Xujiahui Academy, you can still collide with the moon at any time. It can be a poem, a paragraph, a riddle, a dancing jade rabbit, a lecture, a picture book, an open-air movie...... They appear in various images and forms on bookshelves, corridors, stairwells, and squares......
From the 15th to the 17th, for three consecutive days, Shanghai cultural masters came to the Tang Yun Mid-Autumn Festival of Xujiahui Academy, bringing the Mid-Autumn Festival in old songs, the Mid-Autumn Festival in poems, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Shanghai customs, three-dimensional interpretation of Mid-Autumn Festival culture, and appreciating the charm and beauty of Mid-Autumn Festival.
The exclusive Mid-Autumn Festival market opened in the square outside the academy also attracted a large number of citizens, who tasted Tang Yun's special Mid-Autumn Festival tea in the "Moon Tea House" and experienced the products and good things of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the market.
