China Daily  

To celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, the Shaanxi History Museum offered various activities for visitors during the recent Spring Festival holiday, including a public education program for children, where they could look for hidden rabbits and paint clay rabbits. The museum also rolled out a cross-year original exhibition, with the theme of "collision and aggregation between early civilizations in China", and educational activities such as "celebrating Spring Festival at the Shaanxi History Museum", and a book-exchange activity. Educator Zhang Xingyue started the first lesson of the new year with a quiz, introducing the origin and customs of Spring Festival and the significance of rabbits in Chinese culture to students. The educational activities of the museum have been offered for years, providing a variety of programs to help adolescents learn historical knowledge and how to appreciate Chinese culture in an enjoyable way.
