Poetry of the Stone is a lyric poem praising fossils, and reading this poem can arouse people's infinite reverie. Yin is a name of classical poetry. Here is the meaning of praise.
The poem has seven sections, which can be divided into three layers. Sections 1 and 2 are the first layer, which arouse readers' imagination in the form of questions. The continuous questions show the author's strong scientific interest and thirst for knowledge, and also open the floodgates of readers' thinking, so that readers and the author can imagine the mysterious world hundreds of millions of years ago and listen to fossils telling the fantastic myths.
Verses 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the main parts of the poem, which specifically express the content of reverie. "You lead my thoughts to ancient times" is a sentence that expresses the author's thoughts and connects the preceding with the following. Next is to write flying thoughts. Through the study of fossils, scientists have come to the scientific view of biological evolution, and the so-called statement that God created everything is not in line with objective facts. You see, isn't that cold skeleton proof? Although ancient creatures have died, their bodies have been wiped out for hundreds of millions of years, but they are real evidence of the body of life that once existed. The existence of these buried fossils is enough to prove that life on earth is endless and prolific. In these fossils, organic compounds, which are the basic substances of life, remain, providing necessary conditions for scientists to study biological evolution. Isn't the residue of these organic substances the information of life? Isn't it the research job of scientists to decipher these codes? The first two sentences of section 5 say "Time has carved wrinkles on your face", which naturally reminds readers of people. The wrinkles on a person's face are a portrait of the course of life, which is a truth that every reader understands. But the author is not writing about people, but also writing about fossils. The author's thoughts fly to the ancient flood, the seas are dry and the rocks are rotten, the sea changes, and the stars change. No matter how long it is, no matter how big it changes, it can't stop the ship of life from moving from ancient times to modern times, and the form of life has evolved from low to high. What is the relationship between wrinkles and fossils? Why does the author write wrinkles? If the fossil is a human face, aren't the wrinkles carved on this face the archives of the earth's paleontology? Section 6, the author turns to reality. When you visit the Museum of Paleontology, what do you think of the recovered dinosaurs and mammoths? You may imagine that it is screaming; Don't you admire the beauty of nature when you stand in the reappearance of ancient trees? "Admire nature" is the author's heartfelt admiration. Nature is a magician and a sculptor. At this point, the author's feelings reached a climax. After reading this, we will suddenly feel how the four questions in the first verse of the poem are caused. It may be a question that arose when I visited the museum.
the last section responds to section 1, which makes the whole poem complete in structure, with questions and answers.
this poem uses personification. The author regards the fossil as a person who can talk, and calls it "you" by the second person, which is natural and kind. When teaching, we should pay attention to the rhythm of poetry, and experience the beauty of rhyme and rhyme of poetry through repeated reading.
Second, research on problems
This poem is easy to understand and is a teaching material to guide students to expand their imagination and association. In the process of teaching, teachers should not be confined to the small circle of Chinese, but let students think, speak and read aloud. We should pay attention to the combination of Chinese knowledge and knowledge of nature, so that we can not only learn about poetry, but also learn about natural science. Of course, Chinese teachers may know little about fossils, so they might as well find some information when preparing lessons, or ask biology teachers for help.
You don't need to delve into the meaning of some words in the poem, just have a basic understanding.
