Ancient poetry is the essence of our Chinese. Whether it is for exams or to cultivate Chinese literacy, children should be firmly grasped. To understand and appreciate ancient poetry, recitation is the premise, so let children recite a lot from an early age and lay a good foundation.
Ancient poetry and prose are compulsory, and memory is the first level. Ancient poetry is an important test site for Chinese. Fill in the blanks, appreciate poetry, read classical Chinese, etc. They are all important parts of Chinese test questions, whether it is the senior high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination, and these test questions first test the mastery of the original text, so we must lay a good foundation.
Children recite a large number of ancient poems from an early age, coupled with long-term Chinese learning in the classroom, and strive to blurt them out, so that they can not only answer accurately and quickly in the exam, but also save a lot of time for other topics that need to be considered.
At the same time, reciting a large number of ancient poems is also very helpful for composition questions. After mastering the words and expressions of ancient poetry, children can freely quote poems and famous sentences in their own articles, which can effectively improve their literary talent and thus improve their composition scores.
Reciting a lot can cultivate children's memory ability and concentration ability. Children's childhood is the golden age of brain development, and this time period is also the golden age of all kinds of good study habits and all kinds of ability training. A large number of reciting can effectively develop the potential of children's brains and exercise their memory ability. In ancient private schools, it is reasonable to ask students to recite four books, five classics and ancient poems, because the more they use their brains, the smarter they are, and the more they recite, the more they can strengthen their memory.
In addition, repeated reading and memory can keep children focused for a long time. Nowadays, due to the popularity of various short videos, it will affect children's concentration. By reciting a large number of ancient poems repeatedly, children can concentrate for a long time, thus invisibly exercising their concentration ability.
Learning ancient poetry is a long-term process, and we should lay a foundation from an early age. Children in kindergartens and primary schools have plenty of time and little academic pressure, so they can use this time to recite their memories and lay a solid foundation for future Chinese learning. Moreover, at this time, the child's understanding ability is limited, so that the child can mechanically recite and not tell him what he means. As children grow up, their understanding ability will be gradually enhanced. Through years of study and consolidation, children can remember and understand ancient poems and prose at a higher level.
However, after a certain stage, we can't just be satisfied with mechanical memory without understanding its meaning.
First of all, memorizing without understanding the meaning is not conducive to children's in-depth study and understanding. The ultimate goal of learning ancient poems is not to remember, but to appreciate, understand and use them, so as to internalize them into our own language. Therefore, children should gradually strengthen their understanding, so that learning can be more meaningful and effective.
Moreover, the current exam is not simply to fill in the blanks and memorize, but to pay more attention to analysis, judgment and understanding. So if you don't pay attention to understanding, you may not get points.
Secondly, after a certain stage, children themselves will be eager to understand the meaning of poetry. Children have a strong thirst for knowledge. As children grow older, they will ask more and more questions and will not be satisfied with simply reciting memories. I will also be eager to know the meaning, historical background, author's experience and so on.
In addition, understanding and mastering all kinds of knowledge of ancient poetry can also help memory better. Because of understanding, there will be * * * feelings and connections. Children will rely on it when they recite it, so that they can grasp the key points and recite it better.
To sum up:
Children can recite a lot mechanically when they are young. However, after a certain stage, it is necessary to gradually add analysis and understanding, so that children can gradually understand the meaning and value of ancient poetry, help children master and accumulate rich language materials, and let children feel the charm of ancient poetry and achieve good results.
