Positive comment

"Approaching Science" is a magazine-type block column, which has given full coverage to major international and domestic scientific and technological events, major scientific and technological policies, major scientific and technological achievements, and important scientific and technological figures, and has been well received by the scientific and technological circles and audiences. ( Guangming.com Evaluation of ) [14]
Approaching Science, as a low-end product of popular science, fills the gap where popular science TV rarely involves rural audiences. ( Sina.com Evaluation of ) [15]

Negative evaluation

"Into Science" at the beginning of the mystifying, full use of dark pictures, mysterious music, deep narration, ghost film techniques, whet your appetite; And then in the last minute, talking to himself, came to an inexplicable conclusion. ( Tencent Evaluation of ) [16]
After being revamped in 2004, "Access to Science" chose a pseudo-scientific path that relied on suspense and spookiness in order to boost ratings in the following years. The program claims to promote science, but a considerable part of the topic planning has nothing to do with science at all, such as unsolved mysteries such as water monsters and Ufos that are difficult to prove scientifically, or various supernatural events that pretend to be ghosts. Behind these sensational events is either a pure misunderstanding, or simply declared that the person has psychological problems, everything is an illusion, and ultimately reduced to a man-made farce under the guise of science.
