There are at least two ways for children to learn some difficult new knowledge, such as learning ancient Chinese:
Method 1: Save trouble.
Is to throw this "Confucius Poetry Cloud" to the children's back. If you don't like it, if you can't recite it, then be serious, quote classics, toss and turn, and take the trouble to teach the great significance of ancient Chinese; Don't listen, curse it; If you don't listen, hit it.
Nowadays, parents are more and more educated and civilized, and fewer children are beaten. Instead, there are other forms of punishment, such as not watching TV and reciting Confucius for 20 times. Only the form has changed, but the essence has not changed.
Method 2: tiring method.
Classical Chinese, to put it bluntly, is what ancient people said with pens (written language), some vivid and fascinating, and some daunting and boring. Which one do we like? It goes without saying.
The second step, well, let's look for vivid and fascinating ancient prose.
Find an illustrated and beautifully printed version and buy it.
The third step is to buy a book with colorful illustrations, but don't let the children read it. See for yourself first, and keep his appetite.
Sure enough, these books are all kinds of strange and interesting, which is much more interesting and interesting than "those who are born for heaven are born with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom, but their temperament is innate or incomplete, so they can't all know their nature".
The fourth step, when the child is really a little anxious, watch it with him, choose a short paragraph that is easier to understand and tell him sentence by sentence.
Don't forget: you are telling a story about monsters, not teaching ancient Chinese. Don't translate to children like an old pedant. Tell interesting, interactive and joking stories, no matter the stories written by the ancients or the stories written by the present. )
Interesting, right? Interesting. Does it look nice? It's good. All right, just tell the kids about it. Goal: let children thoroughly like these books, rather than "like ancient Chinese"; If children like these books, they will read them, that is, they are learning ancient Chinese. Curve saves the country, but it doesn't make it.
Step five, when children like these books, on the other hand, let them tell you the stories inside.
At first, the child may trip, it doesn't matter, it will probably do. It's great, gratifying, happy and encouraging that children who haven't read ancient Chinese can talk like this!
You don't have to be demanding. You don't need to understand the grammar of ancient Chinese and the meaning of every word accurately. Children can know the general meaning, just say it. Liking to watch and talk is the most important thing. Like reading and speaking, grammar and meaning can be understood over time.
Step six, anyway, read it yourself. If you don't understand, you have a dictionary and the Internet. Look it up yourself.
This method of teaching children to learn ancient prose makes adults feel tired, but children like it. Now they prefer Shan Hai Jing and Search Ji Shen, and like reading them. I believe that as long as he can understand these books, his ability to read ancient Chinese is relatively good, and it should be a cinch to read others' books in the future. If so, you will be tired when you are tired.
In that case, why not start from children's interest points and give them some interesting ancient texts to read, so that they can enjoy them? Clear objectives and flexible methods. Why must we follow the Four Books and Five Classics? Of course, it's not bad if reading four books and five classics can make children like ancient Chinese.
In the education of children, proceed from interest, step by step, "moisten things quietly", and other dogmas, don't die.
The so-called "a good teacher is guided by the situation", "Don't be angry, can't afford it, don't worry, don't give a corner, and don't take three corners against it, there will never be another one", "Knowing is not as good as being good, and being good is not as good as being happy".
2. Children should learn ancient prose, how to learn ancient prose, and how to learn ancient prose?
It is too important for children to learn ancient Chinese, which is close to the requirements of the college entrance examination. More than 50% of high school textbooks are classical Chinese, so there is no need to accumulate them since childhood. In the long run, improving the cultivation of ancient Chinese can improve reading and writing ability, understand and inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture, and strengthen family ties.
This question is not difficult to answer. Think about how children learn spoken English. Without it, I know you. Listen to adults every day, and you will naturally learn it, and so will the study of ancient Chinese. If children listen every day, they will naturally like it.
I wonder how old your child is. You can buy some ancient books at home according to your child's age, such as "ancient books". If the child is young and can't read by himself, consider listening to some audio and video content for the child. For example, young children can start with the clouds of Saint Amethyst and Daiyu Weng. Telling stories like Uncle Kai is more suitable for very young children. When they are older, they can listen to the poems of Mr. Wang in the Himalayas and the ancient poems of Peking University. The content is good.
3. How to enlighten children with classical Chinese (notes compiled by my mother) I have been thinking about how to enlighten tt with classical Chinese, or how to learn from China's rich and splendid ancient civilization-correct values.
Relatively speaking, the road to English enlightenment has a lot of mature experience and rich materials. Basically, according to tt's current situation, if you go step by step, you will definitely see the results (just be happy). But the enlightenment of ancient Chinese is much more difficult.
To put it bluntly, English is just a tool, which is essentially the same as learning Shanghai dialect. However, ancient Chinese is definitely not just a language, but a huge civilization system. It is more important and difficult to influence children in philosophy and behavior and to reflect their role in life. Few people are groping for classical Chinese education. As far as many so-called successful experiences are concerned, I don't agree with them from the heart (such as compulsory reading of classics for several hours every day, etc.). Isn't this a critical act against A Dream of Red Mansions?
I don't want to study in this way myself, because I don't want to. ) I saw a personal experience written by Mr. Yan and found this article very valuable. Here are some excerpts.
The name of the article is "Every child can read a good book-the role of classic private school education from the change of daughters". The author's daughter is a poor student in the traditional sense. She is serious in her study, but her grades are not good. Her children are struggling and have no self-confidence, and her parents are heartbroken.
In the third grade of primary school, I dropped out of school for three years and entered Mr. He De's private school. The situation at that time was to stop all homework and read classics.
Later, due to the good effect, I stopped studying for 1 year and a half after resuming school, and studied in a classic private school for ***4 and a half years. (1), the specific method is as follows: 1, reading classics twice every morning and writing once.
Continue two classic readings in the afternoon. Textbooks are The Analects of Confucius and Mencius by Wang Caigui.
Children start with the Analects of Confucius, read each paragraph 20 times a day, five days 100 times, and then recite it to the teacher 5- 10 times. Then connect the small pieces, read them several times, recite them several times, and finally read and recite the whole book once.
Come back to review after a while and slowly achieve lifelong memory. 2. The Analects of Confucius was recited for four months and reviewed for two months.
The next Mencius took eight months. Then "Lao Zi" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
Gradually increase the time of extracurricular reading. The books they read mainly include Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, How Steel was Tempered, and some books they are interested in.
3. Second suspension of school (one and a half years): Later, her parents asked her to suspend school for another year. On the basis of reciting for three years, she added extra-curricular reading and explanation to get through the reading of ancient books. This year, the main task of her recitation is review.
In addition to adding explanations, it also greatly increases the weight of extracurricular reading. The first task is to read the romance of the Three Kingdoms for ten times.
The situation was completely unexpected. If it is a bit difficult at first, it will get more and more interesting later. When she finished watching the sixth time, He Laoshi arranged for her to watch Purple Tongzhi Sword (Annotated Edition).
The door for her to read ancient books is about to open. 4. How to connect with the current education system: Basically, I have studied classical Chinese for four and a half years, and other courses are conducted in a centralized way.
Children get good grades (getting better and better) after returning to school. (2) Children's reactions and changes: It looks busy, but it is very relaxing, because only reading and reciting are needed, and there is no exam.
As long as the prescribed number of times is completed, the child's competitiveness and self-motivation are stimulated, as is self-confidence. Re-enrollment, from the second semester, the results are very good and people are very confident.
I have studied geography, biology, politics and history with peace of mind. Although she didn't learn it and the teacher didn't make it up, she mastered it easily.
After four and a half years' edification, his study conditions have been improved, and his personality, mentality, code of conduct, moral cultivation and life ambition have also undergone gratifying changes. 1, classic private school education can purify children's minds, have lofty aspirations and have a healthy mentality.
Cultivate their correct outlook on the world and life, tell them how to deal with the relationship with society and others, and let them deal with problems with tolerance, wisdom and openness from an early age. One is to have a pure and peaceful mind.
Classical private school education emphasizes specializing in one subject and reciting it repeatedly. The process of reciting is the process of eliminating distractions, which is equivalent to the "meditation" kung fu of Buddhism. It is very important to eliminate external pollution, strengthen children's determination and purify their hearts when their minds are uncertain and their discrimination ability is weak. Without this link, nothing else can be discussed.
Daughter's innocence can be seen from her eyes, words and deeds. Because of simplicity, there are not many things in the brain. Compared with ordinary children, it is easier to concentrate, more easy to invest and enjoy it.
Now there is a concept that needs to be corrected: the sooner children integrate into society, the more they can adapt to society. This view is wrong.
For a child, if she has not formed a correct view of right and wrong and put him in a complicated environment, he will soon be polluted. The focus of education is to teach children how to behave, to form a correct view of right and wrong, and then to integrate into society, which is conducive to children to correctly grasp themselves and not lose their way.
The second is to have lofty ideals and ambitions. The classic private school education has aroused my daughter's lofty pursuit, strong desire for knowledge and great ambition to help the people.
She yearns for all beautiful things, admires all beautiful hearts and behaviors, and hopes to be an excellent person and a first-class person. The third is to have a healthy attitude.
My daughter is kind by nature, but she used to be a bit moody. Classical private school education taught her to reflect on her behavior from time to time and correct herself from time to time. She can handle many things without our reminding.
Be good at discovering the advantages of others and put yourself in others' shoes. She is always grateful to her elders, teachers and classmates, and gives help to all vulnerable groups with love and sympathy.
When encountering unfair and unreasonable things, she can put forward her own opinions euphemistically and let others accept them easily. She cares about society and current affairs.
I hope people all over the world will live a happy life. I hope that when I grow up, I can make contributions to society and mankind and get rid of poverty and ugliness in the world. She is broad-minded and never haggles over every ounce. Even if she sometimes says a few excessive words, she can consciously reflect on herself after a while and feel that.
4. The absolute experience of how to teach children to read ancient Chinese is 1. Don't teach children to read as soon as they start, it's too crude. You can use couplets, crossword puzzles, two-part allegorical sayings, fairy tales, etc. to arouse children's interest in learning first;
2. Read and recite Li Weng's San Zi Jing, Qian Zi Wen, Yin Lv Wu and Duiyun (three-character and four-character short sentences are melodious and catchy, which can be combined with historical stories).
3, "100 primary school students' ancient prose" (simple essay, let students translate first, then read carefully and imitate).
4. The written versions of San Yan Er Pai, Historical Records, Warring States Policy and Zi Tong Zhi Jian are better. The above are mainly historical books and literary novels, which are easy to understand and interesting, but also have high literariness and readability.
5. The above nine books, Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Yan Family Instructions, In a Small Window, Six Chapters of a Floating Life, You, Caigen Tan, Dongpo Laughing Forest, Laughing Forest, and Zeng Guofan's Letters, mainly involve the self-cultivation of the ancients, which can make you feel the simplicity of ancient literature.
6. The five books, China Ancient Literature, Tongcheng School Anthology, Eight Masters Anthology in Tang and Song Dynasties, Luoyang Galand and Han Feizi, have their own merits in literature. The concept of China's ancient literature provides one of the perspectives, which can be understood from many aspects and mutually confirmed, thus forming a holistic view.
5. How to tell children the steps/methods of ancient poetry and teach children to recite poems to experience feelings?
As the saying goes, "Read 300 Tang poems by heart, even if you can't write, you will recite them." Emotional chanting can not only stimulate students' imagination, but also better let students understand the musical beauty of poetry.
When reading aloud, try to read clearly, accurately and rhythmically, and read out your thoughts and feelings. This regularly repeated rhythm produces a unified musical aesthetic feeling.
Reading a chapter for ten times and reciting a sentence for ten times will integrate still pictures with sounds and images, so that students can be immersed in the scene and sing with emotion, thus stepping into the artistic conception of poetry. Of course, reading aloud should be combined with singing slowly in a low voice.
Pay attention to integration and improve perception. In teaching, integrating the same or similar ancient poems can not only make students feel refreshed, but also expand the reading range and improve the efficiency of classroom teaching.
The first is the integration of works with the same theme. There are many ancient poems in primary schools. Although the authors are different and the backgrounds are different, the emotional themes expressed are the same or similar.
The second is the integration of the works of the same author. This kind of teaching can not only enhance students' feelings about the author's different language styles, but also deepen students' understanding of the text content.
For example, learning Lu You's classic poem "Shizi" can guide students to learn Lu You's "Fence Gate at Autumn Night". Connect with life and apply what you have learned.
Of course, learning ancient poetry is to let students walk into the palace of traditional culture and have a dialogue with the author. More importantly, we should improve students' expressive ability. Students should be encouraged to quote ancient poems appropriately in conversation, speech and writing.
For example, to carry out a comprehensive practical class, suppose there is a teenager who is addicted to internet cafes and ask students to persuade him with ancient poems. Poems such as "black hair doesn't know how to study early, but white hair regrets how to study late" will naturally be used by students. In particular, it is necessary to guide quotations or passages in the composition to enhance the momentum, literary talent and persuasiveness of the article.
Poetry is an emotional carrier full of life, and leisure, nostalgia, friendship and love for national conditions are the themes that poets repeatedly sigh and sing. If teachers can ignite feelings with emotion in the teaching of ancient poetry and realize the triple feelings of author, teacher and student, children will fall in love with ancient poetry unconsciously.
