六、典型教学案例
案例1 鸭香谁能抵?(饮食)
1.知识点
第一,“南鸭北渡”的历史。《食珍录》收集记录了魏晋以来帝王名门家族珍贵的烹饪名物,其中有“炙鸭”的记载,由此可见,烤鸭最初仅仅是富贵人家的美食。据传北京烤鸭得归功于明朝永乐皇帝朱棣,烤鸭随迁都由南京入驻北京。永乐十四年(公元1416年),北京城的米市胡同开了第一家便宜坊烤鸭店。著名的全聚德烤鸭店建于同治三年(公元1864年)。如今,“登长城、逛胡同、吃烤鸭”成为国内外游客来北京的必选,而在南京,人们似乎迫不及待要吃的是“鸭血粉丝汤”,朝代更迭、历史变迁,南鸭北渡,足见历史的力量。
第二,外交宴席上的北京烤鸭。1953年,周总理出访莫斯科,还将全聚德烤鸭店师傅带到莫斯科。美国前总统老布什、前国务卿基辛格等外国元首政要对北京烤鸭赞赏有加。课程视频里的大董烤鸭店,就是专门针对改革开放后的外国友人开办的。
2.思政目标
使学生培养一种意识和习惯,即追索与美食相关的文化、历史,体会饮食文化在中华民族融合过程中功不可没的贡献。一道烤鸭,因时而迁、走南闯北,上登天子宴,下入百姓席,香飘全中国,味散海内外,不仅是北京饮食文化的象征,更是一个民族崇尚美好生活的体现。让学生结合自身体验,尝试通过美食寻根达到文化寻根的目的。

案例2 四合当安居(旅游)
1.知识点
四合院建筑:四合院是四个方位的房屋向心围拢而建构成的建筑单元,围拢在中间的空地作为共享的院落;院落大门一般开在南面东侧,避开与正房大门相对;进入大门经常会有一个影壁,将院内景象遮挡起来。有的四合院会由纵深几进的几个院子组成,表明主人地位高、财力厚。
四合院与王朝更迭:北京四合院是随着元大都兴起,为皇族朝臣家眷而建的住宅。明清两代继续了四合院的居住传统。在经历了民国、抗战后的公有化、改革开放等历史过程后,北京四合院可谓历经沧桑。北京四合院随历代王朝的起落而兴衰,四合院就是北京历史的见证。
