As the summer vacation (暑假, shǔ jià) nears its end, the fervor of visitors flocking to museums shows no signs of waning despite the scorching heat (酷熱難耐, kù rè nán nài). With the growing popularity of cultural artifacts (文物, wén wù), museums have transformed into vital hubs for individuals seeking enriching cultural experiences and educational leisure. (文化體驗和教育休閑，wén huà tǐ yàn hé jiào yù xiū xián)

Currently, museums across Central China's Henan province are witnessing a peak in educational and family tours. Many museums have extended their operating hours into the evening, streamlined reservation procedures (簡化預訂程序, jiǎn huà yù dìng chéng xù), and organized special events (組織特別活動, zǔ zhī tè bié huó dòng) to enhance visitors' overall experience (提高游客整體體驗, tí gāo yóu kè zhěng tǐ tǐ yàn).

At the Luoyang Museum of Ancient Tombs (洛陽古墓博物館, luò yáng gǔ mù bó wù guǎn), visitors can explore the significant archaeological findings and delve into the cultural significance embedded within the architecture (建筑, jiàn zhù), murals (墓室壁畫, mù shì bì huà), sculptures (磚雕藝術, zhuān diāo yì shù), utensils, decorations, and inscriptions (銘文, míng wén) found in diverse tombs spanning different historical periods.

Through a variety of exhibition techniques, the museum constructs a temporal and spatial bridge, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in ancient tomb culture (古墓文化, gǔ mù wén huà) and the ancient Chinese perspective on life and death (中國古人的生死觀, zhōng guó gǔ rén de shēng sǐ guān), fostering a deep understanding of the concept of "treating death as a part of life."

The Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital (二里頭夏都遺址博物館, èr lǐ tóu xià dū yí zhǐ bó wù guǎn) leverages its rich historical and cultural resources to develop over 30 tailored educational programs for children of varying ages. These programs cover a wide array of topics, including the Erlitou culture, the Xia Dynasty's history, archaeological excavations, the essence of Yellow River culture, and intangible heritage experiences.

Shi Muyang, the museum's deputy director of research and education, highlights the growing popularity of these educational programs (教育項目, jiào yù xiàng mù). By August of this year, reservations for these programs have surpassed 160 sessions, marking a substantial increase of over 40 classes compared to the total number in 2023.
