A few days ago, the Chinese Department of Science and Technology College of Nanchang University in Jiangxi Province opened an elective course of board game "Killing Three Kingdoms", which caused quite a stir among students. German heart disease, monopoly, "Three Kingdoms Kill" ... In recent years, board games have gradually become popular among young people in China, and board games have also quietly emerged in many cities. However, in China University, where the curriculum has always been serious, it seems "deviant" to move desktop games into the classroom as an elective course. "Little games have great wisdom." Rao Feng, a Chinese teacher who teaches, said that he has been in contact with Three Kingdoms Kill for four years. He is not only a hardcore player, but also has a good research on the historical and cultural knowledge, strategy and tactics contained in the game "Kill the Three Kingdoms". As a role-playing board game, The Kill of the Three Kingdoms is based on China's classic romance of the Three Kingdoms. Players from 4 to 10 play the roles in the novel and give them corresponding skills. Each character's "skills" have a historical basis. To play this game well, players must know something about the history of China. For example, Sun Shangxiang's stunt is called "Marrying", which comes from the allusion of the political marriage between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei. "The rules of' Three Kingdoms Kill' are very strict, which requires players to have strong logical judgment and performance ability. Playing "Three Kingdoms Killing" can not only learn the ancient culture of China contained in it, but also be a process of enlightening students' minds. "Rao Feng said, but he encountered a lot of resistance when he applied to the school to open this elective course." At first, most college leaders and other teachers didn't have a deep understanding of the game, and felt that it lacked connotation to take up two credits to set up elective courses to teach students to play games. "He said. However, when the college just released the elective course schedule, it attracted a large number of students to watch. Originally planned to recruit 200 students for the "Three Kingdoms Killing" course, 298 students finally signed up, and many foreign students came to attend. Rao Feng noticed that showing students the true colors of history and guiding them to read the real history of China. Rao Feng said that in order to stimulate students' interest, he must maintain full vitality and change the traditional teaching methods in an orderly way. "This is much more difficult than playing poker. The teacher will teach you how to use strategy and tactics to play cards. Before that, I will talk about some historical allusions of China in depth. If you want to be a master, you really have to ponder. " Li Mengyue, a junior student of Chinese Department who has attended two courses of Killing Three Kingdoms, told the reporter. The developer of Kill the Three Kingdoms has also launched an English version of the card game, and this China version of Dungeons and Dragons has also begun to go overseas. It is understood that students are talking about it. For example, Guangzhou University offers "Life and Death" to help students understand the meaning of life. The Medical College of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong Province has set up the course Harry Potter and Genetics. Although these "tide classes" attracted a lot of discussion, they were warmly welcomed by many students.

"I think elective courses should let us choose courses that we are really interested in, not compulsory courses. Giving students diversified choices is the embodiment of the spirit of university freedom. " Rola Chen, a senior majoring in digital media art, said. Campus landscape
