first, I am diligent in logic but lazy in image. Science students pay attention to logic and rigor in learning, while Chinese learning pays more attention to visualization and vividness; Science students like to make things clear, while Chinese often needs to make things vague; In the end, science questions draw conclusions, while Chinese questions are thought-provoking; Science is more about analyzing phenomena, while Chinese is more about describing phenomena. Science students like to learn Chinese by logical analysis. What about the result? In a real class, the teacher asked: Newton was sitting under an apple tree, and a big red apple fell on his head. Please describe why the apple fell. Science students answer: because of gravity. The liberal arts student replied: The red apple was the most naughty student in Apple School. He wanted to see the wonderful world outside this day, so he skipped school. From this, we can see that different ways of thinking produce different learning effects. Science and literature are different systems. Science has a scientific way of thinking and literature has a literary way of thinking. A key opens a lock, and if you learn Chinese by scientific methods, it is tantamount to holding a paddle into the mountains-power is nowhere to be used. However, at the moment, how many students are tirelessly trying to dance a literary world with the "sword of science"?
second, pay attention to knowledge but ignore experience. Although science students also read other people's works and received the works of predecessors who are full of thoughts and emotions, they did not absorb the inspiration left by those excellent works and did not transform others from the spring of life flowing from their hearts into the nectar that nourishes their own hearts. More often, they just regard those life's insights and wisdom as a kind of knowledge, instead of digesting them into their own cultivation. When studying "Reshaping Life", they will remember that Helen Keller is a blind and deaf scholar, writer and educator who wrote the song of brilliant life, and will repeat the words of Mark Twain's high praise for her word for word. However, they will never be saddened by the poor girl's tragic life experience, nor will they be awed by the extraordinary will of this strong woman. For them, Helen Keller is just a story of a distant country and a distant age, or even just a small proof that they have talked about a wide range during class. The ancients said that those who read "The Model" without shedding tears would be unfaithful; Those who don't wail when reading Chen Qing Fu will be unfilial. However, our science students never feel sorry for the model, not because they are "unfaithful and unfilial", but because they really can't experience the feeling of "feeling extremely sad"!
third, I am keen on technology but despise literacy. Science students like training and doing problems, and they like the feeling that practice makes perfect. They believe in "Chinese technology theory" to varying degrees, thinking that learning Chinese is learning a technology, reading and writing are all skilled, and if Chinese is not good, it means that they have not mastered Chinese skills. Once the skills are mastered, the progress of Chinese will be rapid. They are eager to read The Masterpiece of Writing and Decryption of Reading in Middle School, but they think it is a waste of time to read Five Thousand Years Up and Down, Cultural Journey and Famous Prose. They don't know that Chinese itself contains rich cultural content, and cultivating cultural literacy is one of the goals of learning Chinese. Without cultural literacy, all techniques are passive water and trees without roots, and Chinese learning will also become superficial. Some people say that only students with cultural literacy can read deeply and truly enter the colorful Chinese world. Indeed, only by understanding the unconventional and unrestrained charm of Wei and Jin dynasties can we understand why Tao Yuanming is down and out, and he can also sing a song about wine and collect chrysanthemums; Only by understanding the culture of intellectuals, who are crazy and enterprising, can we know why Wen Yiduo is angry and why Zhu Ziqing is determined to die. Only by feeling the great power of the Tang Dynasty can we understand why there is so much confidence and heroism in the vast poems of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the internal skills of cultural literacy are well practiced, Chinese techniques will naturally be easy to learn, or even self-taught. The key to learning Chinese well is not skills at all, but literacy, which means "winning without recruiting".
The state of learning Chinese for science students is not formed overnight, and it is unrealistic to sweep away the accumulated disadvantages for many years in one battle. If we can start from three aspects: thinking, experience and accomplishment, we can grasp the "bull's nose" of the problem, and then we can guide students out of the layers of fog and misunderstanding and enjoy new Chinese learning.
