      AI technology helped students understand the symbolic meaning of the Dragon Totem in different dynasties, and generated images of Chinese dragons from different dynasties based on their understanding. Under the guidance of the art teacher, students from different grades transformed the flat dragons in the AI world into various "dragons" that could dance in the real world. Each dragon corresponds to a different historical dynasty of China, and students used their imagination and creativity to create their own Chinese dragons. These Chinese dragons, with their various forms, were exhibited during the Chinese New Year celebration, attracting the attention and appreciation of many teachers, students, and parents.
