What role does classical poetry play in teaching Chinese as a foreign language?

Classical poetry bears the essence of China culture and embodies rich cultural connotations. Its cultural function plays a great auxiliary role in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the rhythm helps foreign students to experience China's musical sense, the image helps foreign students understand the beauty of Chinese, and the background helps foreign students understand the truth of Chinese. Therefore, we should absorb the cultural factors of classical poetry in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, give full play to the role of ancient poetry in inheriting China culture, and make foreign students with medium Chinese level improve their Chinese level continuously.

The characteristics of TCFL determine that it is a complex teaching system. In addition to superficial language teaching, there should be deeper cultural teaching content. China's classical poems contain rich China culture, which is of great significance to teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Therefore, introducing China's classical poems into teaching practice is of great benefit to cultural teaching.
