With his in-depth study and humorous explanation of poetry, he turned obscure ancient poems into paragraphs with a grounded Macheng Mandarin, which attracted the love of a large number of young students.
With the fire of short video, someone uploaded his lecture video to the Internet. With the help of the communication power of the Internet, he instantly became a "professor network celebrity" all over the country, with over 10 million fans on various social platforms.
He is Dai Jianye.
We must remember that fear of being dominated by ancient poetry and various boring dogmatic teaching made us mechanically remember the templated proper nouns such as "Poet Li Bai", "Poet Du Fu" and "Shi Fo Wang Wei".
However, in Dai Jianye's mouth, these poets are all vivid, just like the people around us-
When talking about Li Bai, he said:
"The poets in the Tang Dynasty all feel good about themselves, and they all think that Laozi is the best in the world, and Li Bai's narcissism is far above them. They not only think that Laozi is the best in the world, but also think that they are immortals ... except those days in prison. "
When talking about Du Fu, he said:
"In college classes, professors labeled Du Fu as a' realistic poet', just as Du Fu always stared at the land under his feet and never looked up at the starry sky above his head. In fact, don't think Du Fu is honest, in fact, he is also very arrogant. His' reading thousands of books, writing like a god', I thought it was written by others, and later I realized that he was actually talking about himself. "
When talking about Yuan Zhen, he said:
"This bastard just finished writing' once the sea is difficult for water, amber forever' to mourn his dead wife, and he didn't fall in love with others for half a month! Advise female compatriots that men can say anything when they are excited, and don't believe a word of men's nonsense! "
This way of telling stories is grounded and easy to understand, which always leads to bursts of laughter and appreciation. Many netizens called it "magic", saying that if the Chinese teacher gave lectures like this, he would have been fascinated by poetry!
Dai Jianye's teaching style has long existed. Many years ago, Dai Jianye gave an elective course to undergraduates: Approaching the Great Poet. If his teaching method is magical and deeply loved by students, his class will always be packed. No wonder he was named the first "good tutor in my mind" of Huazhong Normal University, and Professor Dai deserved it!
In addition to teaching college students, Professor Dai Jianye has always had the flowers of the motherland in his heart. This summer vacation, he carefully selected and commented on the children, and tailored the book "100 ancient poems to stimulate children's imagination" for them.
100 Ancient Poems Arousing Children's Imagination is a collection of poems carefully selected for children by Professor Dai Jianye from the vast art treasure house of ancient poems in China.
Most of the selected poems are masterpieces by famous artists, and most of them are catchy little poems, which are very suitable for children to recite. The collection of poems is divided into four series: Life of Sweet and Bitter, Famous Mountains and Great Rivers, Friends at the End of the World, and Iron in Golden Goma. These masterpieces can not only stimulate and cultivate children's imagination, but also make children have rich emotional experiences. The magnificence of famous mountains and rivers, the fierce battle of thousands of troops and horses, the tinkling of mountain springs, the richness of flowers, the preciousness of friendship, the myriad tastes of life and so on. Can arouse ripples in children's world and provide sufficient spiritual nutrients for their life and long journey. ...
In order to facilitate children's reading, each poem is accompanied by necessary textual comments and short artistic comments. Editors also carefully weave the "introduction of famous artists" of each poem according to the characteristics of children, and strive to make the finishing point. In order to bring readers a pleasant aesthetic experience, the book is also equipped with a large number of beautiful pictures.
This collection of poems is mainly for primary and secondary school students.
Some parents may immediately ask: Now that children have such a heavy burden, why should they let lively children read these "old teeth" ancient poems?
It seems that if children want to sit down and read ancient poems, they must be interesting; If parents want to buy ancient poems for their children to read, they must make them understand that reading ancient poems is beneficial.
British "old fox" Bacon advised people that the secret of reading is "inducement": "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent: whatever you learn will become a character." Unfortunately, this famous saying is too boring. They seem plausible, but in fact they are mostly specious-can reading history only make people wise but not solemn? Can reading poetry only make people witty but not wise? Mr bacon only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. It is not as wonderful as our ancestor Confucius said: "Take poetry as fun and ceremony as fun." ("The Analects of Confucius Taber")
Confucius regards "being interested in poetry" as the starting point of becoming a talent and an adult. Confucius repeatedly warned his son and students to study poetry seriously: "Confucius said,' Why can't boys learn poetry? Poetry can be aroused, observed, grouped and resented. Your father is a thing, and your father is a distant thing; Learn more about the names of birds, animals and plants. "(The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo) Why do children learn poetry? Poetry can be used to stimulate imagination, express will, observe society, appreciate nature, make friends with poetry groups, and express sorrow ... Poetry can be used to serve parents, serve the country, and remember the names of various birds, animals and plants. In short, reading poetry can not only make children more and more "smart", but also enrich their imagination, make their observation more and more meticulous, make their emotions more and more delicate, make their speech more and more elegant, make their experience more and more profound, make their spirit more and more harmonious, and make their personality more and more sound. ...
Why can poetry "flourish"? Why should children be "interested in poetry"? Han people say that "Xing" means "Bi Xing", which means that one thing is associated with another, meaning that learning poetry can cultivate readers' imagination; Song people say that "xing" means "feeling things and expressing aspirations", which means arousing people's emotional will, meaning that poetry can stimulate people's vitality.
Human intelligence mainly involves imagination, intuition, logic, memory and language, among which imagination is an important indicator to judge the level of talent. Without imagination, there can be no technological invention, scientific breakthrough and artistic creation. Regrettably, today's family and school education, instead of arousing children's rich association and imagination, is brutally killing teenagers' imagination. All kinds of boring and useless training, repeating the same type of exercises, all the time and space of children are occupied, they lose any fun of learning, and even lose the courage to live, how can they have the mood and energy to imagine? The best way to stimulate imagination is to let children read ancient poems intensively, so that children can have a relaxed growth environment and a happy learning mood. In this way, they will have a good vision of "far away", their thoughts will be extrapolated, and their spirit will transcend the world and enter a beautiful poetic realm.
If imagination, intuition and other factors are the premise of creation, then the passion and impulse of life are the source of all creation. Without the passion and impulse of life, all talents will fall asleep, even go into shock, and there is no way to talk about any creative activities. In order to ignite the spark of life and stimulate the impulse of life, those magnificent poems in ancient times are the best "stimulants". Recite Wang Zhihuan's "In the Heron Tower": "The mountains cover the day, and the sea drains the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. " Fools will appreciate that kind of vision, that kind of extremely open mind, that kind of pursuit of momentum by "going up a storey still higher"
Our nation has a profound cultural accomplishment, and the Chinese we use is vivid and vivid. For thousands of years, our ancestors used it to create countless artistic treasures of poetry for mankind and contributed many great poets to the world: Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Du Fu and Su Shi ... This collection of poems has selected more than 65,438+000 famous works, most of which are catchy little poems. It is divided into four series: life is bittersweet, famous mountains and rivers, Tianya Intimate and Jingoma Iron. I hope that while cultivating children's imagination, they can also have rich and delicate emotional experiences: let them appreciate the wonders of the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, see the fierce fighting of thousands of troops, listen to the tinkling of mountain springs, appreciate the gorgeous flowers and experience all kinds of beautiful life and life.
If you want to enrich children's imagination, stimulate their creativity and cultivate their concentration, then read poetry!
Every poem has necessary text comments and short artistic comments. The reason why there is no detailed artistic analysis is to leave room for children's imagination when reading poems. An educator in the west once criticized that the classic books we read to children today are too trivial for adults' artistic analysis, just like chewing rice to feed people, which not only makes children dull to read, but also forms the bad habit of children being lazy to read. Nowadays, children's toys are too delicate to make children curious.
We editors and editors do our best, and I hope children enjoy reading it!
