　　"As teachers, we must try our best to present the best cultural treasures to our students, so that we can pass on Chinese culture.。In 2010, with his love for traditional arts and crafts and full of achievements, Man Qian He returned from a visit to Kobe University of Art and Engineering in Japan, and with the support of the school, he brought the internationally renowned enamel craft course to the students of North Technology。In the teacher's studio, there are imported pigments, brand rice paper, foreign language materials...For good "jewelry design" and other traditional craft courses, the cost is really not low。With the mission of inheriting traditional Chinese culture and cultivating first-class talents, Qian He has been deeply rooted in the hearts of students for more than ten years, combining traditional art with modern civilization and colliding with Chinese culture and youth values。

　　"Having learned traditional craftsmanship, I prefer to use symmetrical layout in circuit design...""The color matching in the traditional process is very inspiring for the practicality and maintainability of my engineering design..."Students taking elective courses feel a lot。After more than ten years of exploration and practice，The school gives full play to the advantages of traditional craft aesthetic education，A talent training system has been formed to cultivate the cultural and artistic quality of science and engineering college students，Courses on ceramics, dyeing and weaving, metal craft, lacquer, wood-block New Year pictures, paper-cutting, jewelry and sculpture are offered to the whole school，Radiate tens of thousands of students，Classes are packed，Continuous praise。In 2013, BEIT became a college with a complete range of traditional arts and crafts majors, and it is also the only college with traditional arts and crafts majors among the colleges affiliated to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology。It is worth mentioning that with the strong support of the school, a number of student associations and interest groups such as pottery, paper cutting and jewelry making have also been established and developed vigorously, and the "Second classroom" of Beijing Institute of Technology has become an important position for the education of excellent traditional Chinese culture。

Ceramic making, enamel craft, humanistic painting, paper-cutting and dyeing and weaving, etc

　　According to Yang Jianming, dean of the College of Design and Art, in order to support the construction of the traditional arts and crafts inheritance base, the college has conducted in-depth research, integrated resources, and recruited talents, which has lasted several years and finally formed a scale。目前，The base has a pottery studio, comprehensive handicraft laboratory, Ming furniture studio, art gallery and other experimental and display platforms，And multiple off-campus cooperative research practice bases，Established a number of professional research institutions such as Cultural heritage Research Center, Chinese Ceramic Printing Art Research Center, Ming style furniture research center，And with Tsinghua University, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the University of Houston, the National Museum of China, the Palace Museum and other established cooperative relations。The university's integrated scientific research and teaching practice in the cultural field has been included in the "Cultural Industry Entrepreneurship and Creative Talent Support Case Collection" selected by the Cultural Industry Department of the Ministry of Culture, and has won the "Cultural Industry Entrepreneurship and Creative Talent Support Plan: Outstanding Creative Works of Young people" and other honors。

"Cultivate the heart with traditional culture, carve with the heart of art"

　　"Respect students，Let the traditional culture release the creativity of every student."，It is different from science and engineering courses，Traditional arts and crafts class，Students learn to master the same knowledge and skills after，Combine your own knowledge，Free to create and complete artistic works，Patterns, colors, materials, techniques and styles can be described as "a hundred flowers blooming".。Although most students are "zero foundation" in art, teaching is not small, but let the traditional culture to promote students' aesthetic perception, stimulate students' creativity, is the traditional arts and crafts education of Beijing Institute of Technology for many years unswervingly concept。

　　To teach traditional Chinese culture is not only to teach craft skills, but also to adhere to the correct ideological orientation, to pass on cultural background and cultural essence to students, and to do a good job in the construction of "curriculum ideology and politics"。Guo Hong, secretary of the Party Committee of the College of Design and Art, stressed that the course should be aimed at cultivating the heart and casting the soul, highlighting the moral orientation, "to let college students in the influence of traditional crafts, interest in traditional Chinese culture, trigger the emotional resonance of cultural identity, and stimulate the mission of carrying forward the tradition.。Therefore, how to make excellent cultural heritage, cultural relics and ancient books and classics "live", integrate into the teaching process, and become the focus of traditional arts and crafts curriculum construction。"What and how are you taught each semester，They all need to be carefully designed，Students majoring in design should improve their theoretical literacy，The non-major students should pay attention to the cultivation of interest，It is necessary to leave enough time for students to practice，It's not like we can just leave everything to chance，It also depends on the specific situation of the student，Do a good job of course design guidance and control"，Wang Legeng, director of the Department of traditional Arts and Crafts，Good traditional arts and crafts courses，No small difficulty，The teachers took great pains。

Teacher Luo Ping is helping the students polish their lacquer works carefully

　　Lacquer art production is quite representative in the traditional arts and crafts class of Beitech. Each process of lacquer painting needs to be naturally air-dried for a week. After drying, it also needs to be repeatedly polished with sandpaper and mortar of different standards, so some students can't keep up with the progress。As a teacher, Luo Ping always patiently and proactively helps students coordinate time to ensure the completion of their works, and also watches each student patiently polish according to their own pattern characteristics from rough to fine, so as to present a better artistic effect。

　　"20 people, 20 paintings，accidentally，The gradient is worn out，The eggshell wears through，A seemingly simple process cannot be neglected，The traditional process is a seemingly complicated process，Contains the excellent craftsman spirit of the Chinese nation，That's what I want them to realize."，Luo Ping believes that，Practice is the spirit，It is precisely through the curriculum to realize the essence of moral cultivation。

　　Using a hammer on both sides of the copper plate repeatedly to form a pattern, this is the teaching practice of the metal craft course offered by Mr. Cui Cheng。After the annealing of the copper plate to be placed on a special rubber pad, 20 cm square mat seems insignificant, but the material is particularly hard and soft, is a key factor in determining the quality of the work in this traditional process。"When handicraft is not skilled, the failure rate is very high, I want to protect the students' learning enthusiasm and 'sense of gain' to the greatest extent."。In order to find the most suitable material for the mat, Cui Cheng explored himself for a whole three years。

　　"The curriculum of spreading culture and creating art must be carefully crafted with the heart of art" has become the consensus of teachers。Over the years，Traditional arts and crafts curriculum through cultural background and theory explanation, exhibition teaching, work appreciation and design and other ways，The fine traditional Chinese culture values benevolence, people-oriented, integrity, justice, harmony, and seeking common ground，And integrate it into the classroom，To realize the effective transmission of fine traditional Chinese culture，Effectively enhance the professional ability and comprehensive quality of students。

"Innovation is the best inheritance"

　　The traditional coal burning process is improved，Heating by electric kiln，Re-use gas to change the atmosphere，Finally, coal plays a key role，Reduce pollution，It has the effect of restoring the taste of tea，This is Director Wang Legeng, who has been working in the North Institute of Technology for many years，For the contemporary tea set how to restore the tea taste on the basis of practicality and research out of the "exclusive secret recipe" - coal burning tea cup technology。"Draw nourishment from tradition and then innovate" is Wang Legeng's creative idea。

　　To inherit and carry forward the fine traditional Chinese culture, we must focus on creative transformation and innovative development, so that it can be integrated with real culture。"Inheritance is the foundation of innovation, and innovation is also the best inheritance。The so-called innovation can not be water without a source, can not be a tree without roots, must have the context of inheritance。"Wang Dongsheng said。

　　In Beitech, traditional cultural inheritance has been imprinted with distinct characteristics of science and technology, and traditional Chinese cultural elements have been integrated into the display and application of modern industrial design。For example, interacting with materials disciplines to develop new arts and crafts materials;The use of virtual reality technology, vivid three-dimensional restoration of ancient utensils, students can also use virtual reality technology to experience the production process such as drawing, coloring, firing and so on。
