Xu Zijiao, a doctoral supervisor in the School of Education of Beijing Normal University, pointed out: "Modern family education is often too utilitarian and too instrumental, neglecting the cultivation of children's personality and humanistic background, which has led to many family and social problems."
The Significance of Children's Learning Chinese Classics
China's culture is profound, and the classics of Chinese studies contain the wisdom essence of China's 5,000-year history. The classics of Chinese studies are not only the proof of China's long-standing traditional culture, but also the foundation for every China person to survive in the world, and they are also our indispensable spiritual strength. Traditional classic culture is an important carrier of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, with profound content and a huge number of classics. The significance of children learning Chinese classics lies in:
First, inherit virtue.
The moral and ethical concepts of "benevolence, loyalty, forgiveness, filial piety and faithfulness" contained in traditional books constitute the core value system of China traditional culture, which still has practical guiding significance for us to deal with the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature. Through learning, it is of great practical significance to make these traditional virtues rooted in the young minds of teenagers, improve their humanistic quality and breed simple folk customs.
"I am the only child in my family. I used to be picky about eating at home. Now that I have read "a porridge and a meal" in Family Instructions, it is not easy to think about it. After the sentence "half a silk and half a wisp, obsessed with material difficulties", I understand the truth of the sentence "Who knows that every grain is hard", even if it falls on the table, you should pick it up and eat it. " As most students are only children, selfishness, willfulness and rudeness are common among students. Children have become more humble, united with classmates and respected teachers since they received the education of Chinese studies. The classics of Chinese studies have brought traditional culture into children's daily life, into their families, standardized their daily behavior, and become a "compass" for children's growth.
Second, perfect personality.
Children are trained in this way since childhood, and Chinese classics will plant seeds in their hearts. As they grow up, they will go hand in hand with them and have a positive impact on their lives.
Nowadays, the so-called "pop culture" such as foreign culture and online culture has a growing influence on children. Many children are not only "malnourished" in cultural literacy, but also show impetuous, selfish, indolent and other bad mentality to varying degrees. This is very necessary for them to grow up, perfect their personality and cultivate their national spirit under the nourishment of traditional culture.
Third, cultivate sentiment.
Excellent classical classics have lofty significance and can cultivate children's classical cultural heritage and elegant feelings. Not only literature, but also aesthetics and philosophy. Enriching children with these excellent traditional cultural resources gives them a key to open their minds.
Classic works are the great carriers of our national cultural and educational spirit and the foundation of our national survival. In order for children to learn nutrition from excellent traditional culture, inherit and carry forward the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation and realize the all-round development of people, it is necessary to carry forward Chinese studies.
Fourth, casting spirit.
Traditional classroom education focuses on knowledge and ideological education, and the biggest deficiency is the humanities education and traditional culture education for students. Let students wander in the classics of Chinese studies and feel the great charm of the traditional culture of the motherland. Contact with classics with unique wisdom and value when students have the purest mind and the best memory will gradually cultivate their humanistic spirit.
Five, improve intelligence
The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, China's View of Ancient Literature, Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties and Sun Tzu's Art of War ... these classic works highly condense the essence of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, and contain the great wisdom of Chinese nation's survival, so that children can learn nutrition from these classics and open the treasure house of modern knowledge with the key of classic wisdom.
