He first talked about the "eight elements of poetry" he invented, and then guided students to appreciate poetry from these eight aspects, as shown in the above picture.
When he talked about an ancient folk song "Ququ", I was shocked by just eight words: broken bamboo, continued bamboo; Fly to the earth and leave. It vividly shows the passionate hunting scenes of people in primitive society, which makes my blood boil, as if I were in it.
Lao Wang did not directly explain the meaning of the poem, but let the students understand it. The students said their own things, and the discussion was very lively and wonderful. The basic meaning is: chop bamboo, tie bamboo to make bows and arrows or slingshots, and chase prey in the dust. Play (Dan Si Sheng) song.
Baidu explained: This is an ancient folk song, which reflects the hunting life in primitive society. The repertoire is selected from Wu Yue Chun Qiu compiled by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to Wu Yue Chun Qiu, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the monarch of the State of Yue, asked Chen Yin, an archer of Chu, about the authenticity of his bow and arrow. Chen Yin quoted this folk song in his reply. It is impossible to verify whether it was sung or recited at that time, but later generations recorded the words.
Breaking bamboo-cutting bamboo; Bambusa Bambusa-use cut bamboo as a slingshot; Flying soil-shooting with the prepared slingshot loaded with soil pellets; Killing each other (handing meat)-shooting birds and animals for food; Play (read) Tan songs.
The students' understanding is almost the same as the "standard answer" Lao Wang said that "poetry is not allowed", and students' understanding is more vivid.
I can't tell you how excited the students are to enjoy this folk song in class. Anyway, I was moved by these eight words. Ancient ancestors lived poetically like this, and now we should live poetically.
