This time period happens to be spring, and students will be studying ancient poems. I always feel the charm of spring. Teachers can use courseware to show the beauty of spring and ask students to memorize ancient poems about spring, thereby mobilizing students' inner experience.

Due to the limitations of their knowledge base, primary school students still have a certain degree of difficulty in appreciating ancient poetry. It is easy to memorize ancient poems, but it is difficult for primary school students to truly enter the artistic conception expressed in the work, understand the connotation of the work, and resonate with the author. Therefore, teachers should build a platform to guide students to savor and understand the humanistic spirit in ancient poems through repeated reading, so that students' emotions and ancient poems can truly be integrated.

For example, "Liangzhou Ci" and "Langtaosha" in the first volume of the sixth grade edition of Beijing Normal University are poems about the Yellow River by Tang Dynasty poets Wang Zhihuan and Liu Yuxi respectively, but the artistic conception and expression of the two poems The meanings are different. Sixth grade students already have a certain foundation for poetry appreciation, but these two ancient poems have far-reaching meanings. Students need to taste the artistic conception to feel the author's feelings integrated into the poems. For example, "Liangzhou Ci", in just a few sentences, vividly describes the majestic, desolate and lonely scene of Liangzhou, a frontier fortress. At the same time, this poem uses the environment to create emotions, with a broad realm, a majestic atmosphere, and a tragic and desolate mood. The first two sentences describe the scenery, showing the Yellow River and Yumen Pass in a contrasting form, allowing students to feel the desolation and loneliness of the frontier fortress, and gradually penetrate the author's sense of loneliness; the third sentence suddenly changes, introducing the sound of Qiang flute, with "Qiang flute" "Willow" is the sustenance. Zhengren listens to the music with this mood. It seems that the sound of the flute is also "blaming the willow". The resentment revealed is strong, and it is expressed euphemistically with the explanatory language of "why complain", which is deep and implicit. It is thought-provoking, and the last sentence "The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass" comes naturally. The students' minds were filled with the tragedy of Zhengren gone forever, and the parting between life and death appeared in the words that seemed to describe the scenery of the Yellow River. The students felt the strong emotions in the hearts of their ancestors, and their hearts would be reflected in the meaning of the work. Be enlightened and improve your humanistic quality.
