A few days ago, a treasure mom from our picture library came to our backstage to complain:
Hello, teacher. Our children are now in the third grade, and the ancient poems in the textbook are recited very slowly. Her father and I also help her with counseling and reminding every day, but her back is not fluent and her learning progress is slow. What should we do?
Here, I believe many parents have similar questions.
I have been taught many times, but I can't recite it, but I still recite it. If I ask my child every two or three days, the child will still stumble or not recite at all.
On this issue, a senior Chinese teacher in our photo library shared her childhood learning experience with her parents in the lecture: when the teacher was 4 or 5 years old, her mother would not only teach her to read and write, but also teach her to recite Tang poems, such as Silent Night Thinking and Lusu.
The teacher recalled that reciting Tang poems was nothing more than memorizing the poet's words in his mind and becoming a part that he could come with his mouth open.
It was not until the teacher went to middle school that he fell in love with the singer Faye Wong, especially the song "I wish people a long time". The teacher said that he suddenly fell in love with Li Yu, Li Qingzhao and Zhou Bangyan.
The so-called "teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow and fall in love with the floor." Fall in love with the floor This is probably what you said about worrying about adding new words.
Since then, the teacher's world seems to have opened a new window. It turns out that poetry is not for reciting, but for singing.
In fact, we can't see the life of the ancients with our own eyes, but by painting a poem, we can still walk into the poet's heart, feel his joys and sorrows, get closer to the poem and get along more easily.
Children learn Chinese, too, and slowly jump out of two words to a complete sentence and then to a complete paragraph. They can also twist with the music, and when they hear the music outside, they can mobilize the whole body cells.
Music can enhance children's sense of music, develop their right brain and cultivate a healthy and positive attitude.
Poetry Poetry, since it is called poetry, why do we only let children memorize it?
Why can't we listen, learn and sing?
Compared with "Little Apple", "King invites me to visit the mountain" and "Youth Practice Manual" which we often play at home and in the car, are the poems sung more suitable for children who are extremely curious about the music world but are in a passive position than the popular songs used in square dance?
write music
Invite children with the same frequency to sing.
Let children feel colorful and profound.
Sharpen your ears by combining music enlightenment with ancient poetry
Give the child a childhood.
Not "polluted" by pop songs or pop songs.
Therefore, today, our Chinese teacher in New Oriental will recommend the following picture books and books of ancient poetry and music to parents, which are most suitable for listening and singing with children at home, in the car and on the road.
Give your child a pair of clean, pure but classical ears.
0 1. New school song
First of all, the perfect combination of picture books and music that I recommend to you comes from "New School Song" by Gu Jianfen, a famous composer in China and a lifelong music artist with China Golden Bell Award.
You may not have heard of Miss Gu Jianfen's name, but you must have sung her songs, such as Singing Smile, Mother's Kiss, Green Leaves' Affection for Roots, Missing, Mother by Candlelight, Today is Your Birthday and so on.
The songs she arranged contain the themes of love and gratitude for life and peace and stability. Now, the old teacher Gu Jianfen sees fewer and fewer beautiful nursery rhymes, and she takes pains to write nursery rhymes for our next generation.
Teacher Gu recalled:
Once upon a time, children were asked to sing songs such as "Little Girl Picking Mushrooms", but they were all passive and formatted by education. But when it comes to these ancient poems, the children sing easily and emotionally.
Every ancient poem is full of emotion. On the basis of using national musical instruments such as pipa, guzheng, drum and sanxian and modern orchestral music, Mr. Gu combined ancient and modern factors with popular musical instruments such as guitar. When children hear these beautiful melodies, they will get closer and learn to sing lyrics with them faster.
Ci is also a traditional ancient poem that children in China have been asked to recite since childhood.
Combine a variety of traditional and popular musical instruments into music.
Use concise words and rhyme at the end.
Ancient poems with neat antithesis and rich feelings
A complete and most suitable song for children.
Songs that inspired music and poetry were born.
But even this would not be enough Teacher Gu once went to Japan on a business trip and found that Japanese children can read picture books. This kind of picture book has pictures, words and words, which can be said and recited.
Therefore, Teacher Gu was deeply inspired. After returning to China, she specially invited Zheng, Liang Peilong, Cao and other 18 top children's illustrators at home and abroad to create pictures for these two volumes of 28 poems.
Let children listen, watch and sing at the same time. Unconsciously, their eyes, ears and minds are full of notes and poems.
These two volumes of new school songs are the most representative classic children's music picture books in China, and the whole production process takes two years.
It's not as simple as you think, just attach two music CDs and two ancient poems and paintings, and it's done.
How the arrangement conforms to the cultivation of children's sense of music, how the color of the picture, how the composition and artistic conception are matched and connected, and whether the melody and lyrics conform to the characteristics of music enlightenment need to be discussed repeatedly by Mr. Gu and the creative staff.
It is after repeated and meticulous polishing that this set of "new school songs" came into being, and the children listened, watched and sang with emotion.
02. Xiao Chun, the children's trip to Tang poetry.
The next thing I recommend to you is to learn ancient poetry by singing, but the tone here has changed. This book is called "Spring Dawn, Children's Journey to Tang Poetry".
Tang poetry, which has been handed down through the ages, meets familiar folk tunes.
Collided with different sparks.
There is one more choice for children to learn ancient poetry.
Everyone is familiar with the poems in Tang poetry, such as Meng Haoran's Spring Dawn and Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night. Folk songs are also famous, such as Jasmine in Jiangsu and Orchid Flower in Shaanxi.
The combination of the two is not only beautiful in writing, ingenious in soundtrack and long in charm, but also easy to learn.
The children learned to hum folk songs and recite the most classic chapters in Tang poetry.
This book contains 17 poems, originally sung by Mr. Liu Chongde, a songwriter, to his little granddaughter. Inspired by Mr. Liu Chongde, he used the method of "singing Tang poetry in folk minor" to compose music for Tang poetry.
Mr. Liu Lao has presided over many national-level projects, and has successfully translated Ding Xin Jiugong Dacheng Nanbei Ci Gong Qu, which is known as "Poetry, Mountains and Quhai", and translated 5,000 pieces of music into notation and staff, which shows his profound skill.
In order to let more children, like their little granddaughter, immerse themselves in beautiful folk songs and poems since childhood, he went to various places to collect folk songs and fully considered the harmony between the style of each Tang poem and folk songs.
So he sang Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night with the folk song Jasmine in Jiangsu, and Du Mu's Qingming with the cabbage in Hebei.
There are also children's songs in Tianjin, folk songs in Northwest China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and Inner Mongolia, and opera tunes such as Xipi and Shaanxi Opera.
When our children are still learning traditional, monotonous and rigid chanting, if they are matched with these beautiful songs with ancient rhyme, they seem to find the hidden moon and a unique taste. The interest in learning ancient poetry must be growing.
Our ancestors left a lot of precious human wealth, especially poems and folk tunes, but in the cultural gap and endless novelty toys and electronic products, children have less opportunities to contact these human wealth.
03. Children's Four Seasons Songs
The third set of books recommended by our teacher for children is Songs for Children in Four Seasons, which won the Bingxin Children's Book Award. The theme is four seasons, and poetry and painting are perfectly integrated.
Go to the grassland for a spring outing
Enjoy the green lotus pond in summer
Drinking Huanghua wine in autumn
Snow poems in winter
All the year round, everything grows and withers, and it goes back and forth.
Children's Four Seasons Songs was first published in 1990s, and it is the first set of classic Chinese learning picture books specially designed for children in China.
It puts the four seasons in the first place and becomes the clue and logic of poetry selection. There are about 40 ancient poems in a book every year.
Don't have a headache reading poetry to your child, where to start. Follow the sun, follow the calendar, and follow the changes of seasons. Feel the beauty of nature's transformation in poetry. The magical changes of seasons make it easier for our children to discover the casual surprises in nature, and their hearts are more delicate and keen, and they are good at discovering the hidden poetry in life.
During the rainy season, children no longer worry about having no place to play. They sit on bamboo chairs at the door, or look out from the window sill with their chin cupped, muttering, "It rains at home in Huangmei season, and frogs are everywhere in the grass pond." Small eyes will look at the pond in the distance from time to time, and ears will stand up. Are frogs really that loud?
In hot summer, children hide under the big tree in front of the community or village and enjoy the cool with the elderly. The sound of children playing, the short voice of the parents of the elderly, and occasionally two childish children's voices of "shadows of trees dancing in summer, the balcony reflecting into the pond" will pop up in the crowd.
Who says there is no beauty in life? Who says poetry is difficult to understand? When children have a clear and personal feeling about the outside world, do we still need our orthodox explanation for the poems blurted out?
There are poems in children's lives, and poems are in children's four seasons.
Kitajima said:
"Snowflakes and petals, early spring and breeze, fine sand and storms, each child's feelings are unique."
This set of children's four seasons songs brings together top scholars at home and abroad, and carefully selects 150 ancient poems in the order of four seasons. And use the expression of Chinese style to create beautiful, elegant, fresh and pleasant pictures.
04. Children's ancient poems
Finally, I recommend Children's Ancient Poems edited by Ye Jiaying again.
Mr. Ye Jiaying, a master of classical poetry, personally selected, selected and annotated China ancient poems that are most suitable for children to read and most in line with children's cognitive scope.
There are 177 and 4 1 Poems for Children compiled by Mr. Ye Lao. China's ancient poems are vast and beautiful, and the standards to be included are suitable for children's interest and reading ability.
"Three hundred poems, in a word, say: innocent thinking."
It is of far-reaching significance to let children learn ancient poetry happily at the purest age and have a childhood influenced by poetry.
Poetry is most loved by people because of its melody, structure and language. There are rich words in the poem, which can make people happy and move. Poetry makes the rhythm, images and thoughts in our hearts sound through words.
Adults reading a poem every day is like drinking a cup of literary tea. After a busy life, they are more daydreaming.
Reading a poem every day is like drinking a glass of pure milk, and reviewing more after heavy homework.
In fact, a child's upbringing and speech, the way he speaks, the content he expresses and the mental outlook he shows all depend on whether the child's inner world is rich or not and whether he can precipitate his own perception.
In a child's childhood that is neither short nor long.
Sow the seeds of a poem for children.
Carefully accompany irrigation and make good use of poetry as nourishment.
It is possible to harvest the fragrance and bloom of a lifetime.
The road of life in the future is fruitful.
But you and I still live poetically in this land.
