The “Timeline of the Central Axis: Solar Terms in the Capital Study Tour” project is grounded in the cultural heritage of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms and the intangible cultural heritage resources of Beijing’s Central Axis, aiming to construct an educational system for study-based learning centered on traditional culture. Drawing on the project’s practice and the author’s professional experience in a ski winter camp, this paper explores how the transmission of solar term culture and the transformation of educational value can be achieved in outdoor education settings. By analyzing the intersection of solar term culture and ice and snow sports, the relationship between children’s cognitive development and the design of study-based curricula, and the role of educators in informal learning environments, this paper proposes the educational philosophy of “teaching in accordance with the seasons, educating in accordance with the place,” offering practical pathways and theoretical support for the integration of traditional culture and modern study-based education.
