The Astronomical Society of Jiangsu Tianyi High School has carried out practical exploration around "Dark Night", forming a popular science education model with a progressive curriculum design including popularisation, academic and research courses. This model stimulates students' interest through science popularization courses, consolidates students' knowledge through academiccourses, and guides students to solve problems through research courses. Over the past decade, the Tianyi model has achieved remarkable results. A number of papers on "Dark Night" have been published in SCI and other academic journals in and out of China, and a number of related projects have won awards in the academic competitions in and out of China.
