西安古都歷史文化之旅
為深化同學對中國歷史文化的認識，本校中國歷史科15位同學在2位老師的帶領下，於日前展開為期五天的「西安古都歷史文化之旅」，親身走進這座見證中華文明輝煌的千年帝都，感受歷史的脈動與文化的厚重。
古城牆下的歷史回響
抵達西安後，師生們立即前往標誌性的西安古城牆。這座保存完好的明代城垣，不僅是古代軍事防禦的典範，更承載著歷代王朝的興衰記憶。同學們漫步於青磚之上，俯瞰現代與古代交融的城市景觀，深刻體會到「長安」作為十三朝古都的歷史底蘊。
華清宮與兵馬俑：穿越盛唐與大秦
次日，團隊前往臨潼區的華清宮，這裡曾是唐玄宗與楊貴妃愛情故事的見證地。同學們穿梭於亭臺樓閣間，想像「春寒賜浴華清池」的盛唐風華，並透過歷史遺跡了解古代宮廷生活與政治變遷。
下午，眾人懷著敬畏之心走進秦始皇兵馬俑博物館。面對氣勢恢宏的陶俑軍陣，同學們無不驚嘆於秦代高超的工藝技術與軍事組織能力。透過導賞，大家更深入理解秦始皇統一時期的政治、經濟與文化成就，並思考「世界第八大奇蹟」背後的歷史意義。
自然與人文的交織
第三天上午，團隊參觀陝西自然博物館，從地球演化、生物進化到秦嶺生態，多角度認識陝西的自然資源與環境保護。下午則漫步於唐大慈恩遺址公園與詩詞街道，在雁塔廣場感受唐代佛教文化與詩歌藝術的融合，體會「長安一片月」的文學意境。
考古與市井中的文化傳承
第四天，師生造訪陝西考古博物館，透過出土文物與考古紀錄，了解新中國成立後陝西考古的艱辛歷程，並對文物保護工作者的付出肅然起敬。下午轉往熱鬧的鐘鼓樓廣場與回民街，在美食與市井煙火中，感受西安作為絲路起點的多元文化交融。
絲路起點的啟迪
行程最後一日，團隊參觀大唐西市博物館，透過絲綢之路的貿易文物與歷史場景，重現唐代「萬國來朝」的開放氣象。同學們從中領悟到古代中國與世界對話的智慧，並反思當代文化傳承的責任。
結語：歷史的課堂在路上
此次西安之旅，不僅是課本知識的延伸，更是一場跨越時空的文明對話。同學們透過實地考察，將抽象的歷史化為鮮活的體驗，深刻體會到中華文化的博大精深。帶隊老師表示：「希望這次旅程能點燃同學對歷史的熱情，並在未來成為文化的守護者與傳播者。」
A Journey Through the History and Culture of the Ancient Capital, Xi'an
In late April to early May 2025, our school’s Chinese History teaching staff and senior secondary students who studying Chinese History embarked on a trip to Xi’an, China, in a group of about 20. They visited and learned in Xi’an—an ancient capital city known in ancient times as Chang’an. As a key capital during the Qin and Han dynasties as well as the Sui and Tang dynasties, Xi’an is rich in historical and cultural heritage.
During the trip, students visited a number of historical sites and tourist attractions, including the famous Terracotta Army, the ancient city wall and watchtowers, Daci’en Temple, where Xuanzang, after returning from his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, carried out the translation of Buddhist texts, as well as the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (Big Wild Goose Pagoda).
In addition, the students also visited various museums, such as the History Museum, the Xi’an West Market Museum, and a Natural Science Museum that introduced the local geographical and natural environment. These experiences greatly broadened students’ horizons and deepened their knowledge of Chinese history and culture. At the same time, they also helped to strengthen students’ interest in learning Chinese history.
All in all, it can truly be said that the trip was very rewarding, and both teachers and students are eagerly looking forward to the next journey!
