Taking martyr memorial facilities in Yan'an and Nanhu as examples, through the virtual simulation involved integration of image, sound, and other elements, the audio-visual language has enabled the reproduction of real scenes online, effectively to drive observers' cognitive expression. The practical application of virtual reality technology in the development of historic relics resources, can explore the feasibility of teaching-method innovation in ideological and political education, and make more exploitation of distinctive red- cultural resources, along with the new cognitive model of “practice-reconstruction-reflection-experience-acquaintance” in ideological and political education coming into being.
