The significance of reciting classics
Classics are the source of national spirit and treasures of human culture. They are passed down through the ages and record the highest wisdom in national genes. They are the sincere words of the thousand-year-old elders of the nation to future generations. What the teachings carry is the brilliance of the great thoughts of the sages. We recite it every day and are immersed in it. The enlightenment of life and the gradual development of broad-minded and generous thoughts and personality can lead to the depth and height of life, which is the great foundation for virtue. All wisdom can only be put to good use if it is built on this platform. Chinese is the main battlefield for humanistic education. Thousands of years of splendid human culture have been fully reflected in Chinese language books. Through learning (of course free reading, conscious learning, and active experience), students can understand and master the existing cultural world and be better shaped by culture. And a person who has been shaped by culture may become a molder of culture. We mainly recite classics and infiltrate regular Chinese reading to promote the learning of modern literature. The complementarity of the two has far-reaching significance for the cultivation of children's Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities and the shaping of personal culture. Different classroom and teaching effects have been achieved. In this regard, let me briefly talk about my feelings:
1. Reciting the text significantly enhances memory. Reciting classics has the effect of stimulating potential and wisdom. Water crystallization experiments show that, Reciting classics is an important way to use the best to control water. It uses the method of energy, uses your own sound wave energy, carries the classic language and text information that is rich in goodness and wisdom, and feeds it back to the water in your body, thereby improving your entire physical and mental temperament. , to achieve the purpose of harmonizing the body and mind, enlightening the mind and improving wisdom. When reading, it is emphasized to "recite by mouth but only by heart". "Chanting" is by no means just a pronunciation activity of "mouth", but also includes rich thinking activities and emotional activities. Reading aloud is also a kind of artistic re-creation. In the process of turning silent written language into vivid spoken language, multiple senses such as eyes, mouth, ears, heart, and brain are used simultaneously. Learning a language does not mainly rely on rational analysis, but on the direct feeling and accumulation of language. It is through repeated practice that language forms a habit. "A little becomes like nature, and a habit becomes natural." "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent." The powerful impact of recitation on learning is based on the expansion and optimization of memory, and has the effect of developing the right brain. It has the meaning of enlightenment. Our first-grade children can read classics by heart. Every time they recite regular Chinese language, they also use the method of memorizing classics to recite it and memorize it quickly. This is the powerful memory power brought by reciting classics. Dr. Yang Dingyi, an American doctor of medicine, conducted a scientific experiment in Taiwan on the physical and mental changes experienced by children when they read classics, which once again proved that children who read classics have stronger memories.
2. Help develop children's language and writing skills. The primary school stage is the period when people have the best memory in their lives. Teachers make full use of teaching materials to guide students to read aloud, and even recite them by heart, so that students can directly experience the language, accumulate language materials, and understand a variety of language expressions, so that they can learn to use language and characters. Develop language by expressing your opinions accurately and expressing your feelings. Ye Lao said, "Read more works and train your sense of language more, and you will be able to control words." In Chinese classroom teaching, it is very necessary to pay attention to and strengthen the reading and recitation training of classic and modern texts. There are three ways to read: heart, eyes, mouth, and faith. Recitation needs to be respectful, wholehearted and unhurried, and the words should be clear, relaxed and pleasant. Classics are melodious and self-satisfied elegance, neutrality and harmony. We should persevere every day to read the words of the sages, empathize with the hearts of the sages, pronounce the words of the sages, remain calm and have wisdom in them. Reading modern literature requires both sound and emotion, and under the influence of reading classics, we must respectfully and conscientiously read the thoughts and feelings in them. After reading well, one can understand, after understanding, one can use it, after using it, one can become skillful, and after being skillful, one can create something new. Reading is to make what is in the book your own, put it in your own wisdom bank, and use it as you please. If you use it too much, you will naturally be ingenious, and you will have a stroke of genius and a miracle made by nature. The older generation of literary masters such as Lu Xun and Mao Dun also studied classical Chinese as teenagers, which laid a solid foundation for their profound literary skills. Our children read classics every day, and are influenced by the charm of culture, which cultivates their sentiments and enriches their vocabulary. They can quote classics in their compositions, which enhances the literary heritage of the articles.
3. Reading is helpful for aesthetic education and humanistic ideological education, and expands the depth of thought.
Looking at the teaching materials from a "people-oriented" standpoint, our education will point to the ultimate care of people: interpreting the text with emotion, understanding the text based on emotion, and using civilized theory; allowing students to understand life and realize themselves through experience and understanding. . The core of classics is to educate people morally, and the core of conventional Chinese is to connect Chinese with life to educate people ideologically. Each of its articles often contains a humanistic thought, allowing us to understand the text's thoughts more broadly and deeply. It is of far-reaching significance for students to receive classic reading education and the influence of traditional culture. Please let us walk with the classics together.
