The story of Tagore and his parents.
Tagore is the greatest and most influential master in the history of modern Indian literature, and also an outstanding figure in the history of modern Indian literature. His full name is Robin Dranat Tagore, and he was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India in 186 1. His father was a social activist and religious reformer, full of nationalist tendencies, and actively supported the Bangladesh Enlightenment and social reform. He studied the Vedas and Upanishads. * * * has 14 children, of which Tagore is the youngest. Their families, brothers, sisters and nephews have trained many scholars and artists. As a result of growing up in a family where traditional Indian culture and western culture blend harmoniously, Tagore was influenced by family environment since childhood. As the youngest son of his parents, Tagore was loved by every member of his family, and his father placed great hopes on him. He confidently said to his wife, "I must train this child to be the best among my children." "What are you going to do?" "I want to fully train him when he was very young. I believe he will be a child prodigy. " When Tagore was 3 years old, his father began to let him learn to draw. Although Tagore Jr. can only scribble on paper, he can still see that he is very sensitive to color. Tagore's brother Jotilyn Delanat, who was good at painting, undertook the enlightenment education of Tagore's painting, and his father began to teach Tagore to learn letters by himself. He writes all kinds of letters on cards of different sizes. These letters all have different colors. He plays games with Tagore every day. He never encourages children to learn by rote. He often puts the cards in a cardboard box, and then he tells the color to Tagore to find them. When little Tagore took out the painting according to the color he specified, his father read the letters on the painting to him and asked little Tagore to read after him. This situation lasted for some time, and he appointed Tagore Jr. to look for some letters in the paper box. When little Tagore found the letter he specified, he asked little Tagore to tell him what color it was. Whenever little Tagore finds the right letter or color, his father gently touches his head to praise him; If he dialed the wrong number, his father would smile and say "Hey, you little fool" and take out his designated card and say "This is the correct answer". In this way, Tagore not only learned many letters easily, but also became familiar with more than 20 colors. Tagore Jr. showed no outstanding talent in painting. In memory, he said, "I remember very clearly that in the afternoon, I often lay on the carpet with a sketch book, thinking about drawing something." This is more like a pastime than a painting exercise. The most important function of this game is to leave something in your heart, even a line on paper. " When Tagore Jr. was 4 years old, his father began to give him music education again. Music lessons were mainly given by Sadiyandranath, another brother of Tagore Jr. His brother not only taught him to play the piano, but also often played some Indian music for him, as well as various folk music, including religious pop music with Bangladeshi flavor. He was deeply impressed by the ancient songs in northern India. When Tagore studied music, his father asked his sister, who was proficient in foreign languages, to teach young Tagore English. With the efforts of the whole family, little Tagore has made great progress. By the age of six, he could draw and play the piano, and he could speak fluent English. His ambitious father began to educate Tagore Jr. in literary accomplishment. He often reads many poems for Tagore Jr., including foreign classics and his own. He especially loved the Vedas and Upanishads, and made Tagore recite some chapters. The Vedic Hymn recited by his father deeply infected Tagore's young mind. He was deeply moved by the sacredness and beauty of this poem, even though he was still young and didn't understand the profound symbols in the hymn. Influenced by his father, he loved the poems in the Vedas all his life. When Tagore was able to read, his father encouraged Tagore Jr. to read widely literary books. Before the age of 9, Tagore found himself able to accurately arrange the rhythm of two poems. His father's careful guidance fascinated little Tagore with poetry. In addition to educating young Tagore in literature and art, his father often takes him on field trips. Old Tagore knew the role of nature in children's hearts. On the other hand, he can also strengthen his children's physical strength in this way. We can learn from Tagore's memories of his first trip to the Himalayas. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, his father suddenly called him one day and said that he would take him on a trip. Soon the two of them came to a small town on the eastern slope of the Himalayas. They rented a small villa on the top of the mountain, surrounded by cedars. The first time he came to such a beautiful place, little Tagore felt indescribable excitement. The majestic "Mountain God" shook him like lightning and thunder, and everything there left an indelible impression on his memory. This trip greatly broadened Tagore's horizons, and he was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of nature. Tagore began to write poems at the age of 13, and his poems are full of feelings of opposing colonialism and loving the motherland. Since then, he has been fascinated by poetry creation. When he was 0/4 years old, he had read many books, including literature, history, society and natural science. From 65438 to 0878, he went to England to study in accordance with the wishes of his father and brother, and studied English literature and western music at London University. Since then, he has been engaged in literary creation. From the age of 13 to the age of 18, Tagore published long poems such as Wild Flowers and Poet's Tales. From 188 1 to 1885, a collection of lyric poems was published, including Sunset Song, Morning Song and Painting and Song, as well as plays and novels. Tagore wrote more than 50 poems in his life, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature of 19 13 with his poem Gitanjali. At the same time, he has made many achievements in other aspects. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he began to compose his own songs. Since then, he has added some European tunes to his plays. In the next few decades, he continued to write and wrote many songs. At the same time, he is also a famous novelist, playwright, composer and painter. He has completed 0/2 novels, more than 0/00 short stories, more than 20 plays and more than 500 paintings. In addition, he is an important philosopher, educator and social activist, and has written a lot of works on philosophy, education and politics. Achieving such amazing brilliant achievements not only marks Tagore's success, but also means that his father finally realized his wish. He successfully cultivated Tagore Jr. into an all-rounder, and finally left a valuable and rich cultural heritage for the nation and all mankind.
