(A), childhood dreams
Students, have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up? I think everyone here has had their own dreams. Some want to become scientists and make their own contributions to the scientific development of the country; Some want to be writers and create excellent works with their own pens. Some want to be journalists and so on. Maybe some students will ask, xu teacher, what was your childhood dream?
I spent my childhood in a remote village in Santai County. There are many nursery rhymes circulating in my hometown. Although my mother has never read a book, she can skillfully recite these nursery rhymes handed down from generation to generation. I have been fascinated by nursery rhymes in my hometown since primary school, and I still remember them vividly. Now I will teach my classmates to recite two of them:
Big moon, little moon, brother gets up and learns to be a carpenter.
Sister-in-law gets up to beat the soles of shoes, while mother-in-law gets up to pound glutinous rice.
Fill glutinous rice, knock gongs to pick up girls.
Zhang strike while the iron is hot, Li strike while the iron is hot and send a pair of scissors to his sister.
My sister told me to rest, so I won't rest. I'm going back to barley harvesting.
These nursery rhymes from life, simple and natural, playful and humorous, deeply entered my childhood memory. Since then, I have always dreamed of writing nursery rhymes when I grow up.
(B), the cradle of growth
After graduating from primary school, I was admitted to Guanqiao Middle School, a county-level key middle school, with the first place in the township. There are a group of outstanding teachers from Santai County and top students from more than 20 towns and villages in the south. At that time, the countryside was very poor, and farmers' children could not work in cities. Therefore, reading has become the only way for rural children to go to cities. Although the living conditions are very difficult, everyone studies hard and hopes to bid farewell to poor rural areas through their own efforts.
Here, I first read the works of great poets in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. I was deeply attracted by those famous sentences in China's ancient poems. Since then, I have a soft spot for poems and ancient prose in textbooks, and I can recite almost every article.
In the second day of junior high school, Xinhua Bookstore in Santai County came to our school to sell books. I bought three books of poetry, seventeen poems by Premier Zhou, prison songs and Tiananmen poems. I can't even remember how many times I read it. This is the first time I have read a special collection of poems.
At that time, my classmate Tang Xiaojun also liked poetry very much. We had the same hobby, so we became a pair of good friends. On the school playground, in the rice fields outside the school, we often talk about poetry together. By the time I graduated from junior high school, Tang Xiaojun and I had written more than 100 works together.
When I entered high school, I broke up with Tang Xiaojun. Due to intense study, I spend less and less time reading and writing poems. When I was a sophomore, two young teachers who had just graduated from college came to the school. They are very good at poetry and often use their spare time to explain classical poetry to their classmates. I still try to find time to go to class. Later, due to the approach of the college entrance examination, I had to temporarily put down my beloved poetry writing.
1984, the god of luck finally came, and I received the admission notice from Mianyang Finance and Trade School. This heavy notice may contain too many hardships for me, absorb too much sweat from my parents in the scorching sun, and carry too many expectations for the whole family. I can't help crying sour tears. Not only let me bid farewell to the poor countryside, but also let my dream of writing poetry continue.
(3) Harvest season
From 65438 to 0997, Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland. Mianyang Writers Association and Mianyang Poetry Society held the "Shu Long Cup" poetry contest to celebrate the return of Hong Kong. In this poetry contest, my two works, The Vicissitudes of Hong Kong and The Return of a Hundred Years, won the Excellent Works Award, which gave me great encouragement. I bought more than 700 yuan of poems from the bookstore at once and began to study China's ancient poems systematically. During that time, I often studied until after midnight, which really smacked of being possessed. From 65438 to 0998, introduced by Nan Zhiping, Secretary General of Mianyang Poetry Society, I joined Mianyang Poetry Society and began to publish my works in Mianzhou Poetry Journal. Since then, my poetry creation has entered the harvest season, and a series of high-quality works have come out one after another, and they have been published in such publications as Friends of Poetry, Culture News, Qinling Poetry, Mianyang CPPCC and Mianzhou Accounting.
1999 My work won the Excellence Award in the "Century Cup" Literary Works Competition of Hubei Writers Association. Joined the Beijing Poetry Society in 2000. 200 1 elected director of Mianyang Poetry Society. Some of his works have been selected into large-scale dictionaries, such as Century Poetry Festival, Exhibition of Famous Works by China and Momo, Dictionary of Contemporary Poets and Artists in China, Dictionary of Contemporary Poets in China, Beautiful China, China Going to the World, and Couplet Selection of Contemporary Poetry in China. A concise dictionary of contemporary poets includes resumes. In 2002, my personal poetry collection "Rain Flower Collection" was officially published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House. I like the interviews and reports of Mianyang Daily, Mianyang Evening News, Mianyang TV Station and other news media reporters. In 2003, he was approved to join the Chinese Poetry Society.
Second, how do students learn poetry writing?
(1) Interest is the best teacher to learn poetry writing.
If students want to be future poets, they must first cultivate their interest in poetry, because only what interests them can you do persistently. I suggest that students choose some popular and understandable ancient famous poems of China to read. Those beautiful poems will definitely make you interested in poetry. If you set your goals too high from the beginning and don't read selectively, it will be difficult to cultivate your interest in poetry.
(2) Reading more and remembering more is an important basis for learning poetry writing.
After choosing the books you want to read, you should read them carefully, and you'd better recite more famous articles. In addition, we must understand the meaning of the poem, not a little knowledge. And learn the basic methods of using words and rhymes in ancient poetry, and accumulate some common words to borrow when learning poetry writing.
Step by step is the best way to learn poetry writing.
Step by step includes two aspects: On the one hand, students should read China's ancient poems from the shallow to the deep, and gradually increase the difficulty. On the other hand, it also means that when students practice writing, it is easy first and then difficult. You can learn to write some nursery rhymes first, and then learn to write poems after you have a certain foundation, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
(D) Bold innovation is the secret of success in learning poetry writing.
In ancient China, the language of literary writing was different from that of people's daily communication. Literary writing plays the role of "classical Chinese", while people use "spoken English" in daily communication. After the May 4th Movement, China literature writing language and spoken language tend to be unified, and vernacular Chinese has become the language form of people's writing and daily communication. It is against this background that China's new poetry is influenced by western poetry culture. Students should be good at absorbing nutrition from China's traditional poems, be bold and innovative, and strive to make their works close to the times and life, form their own style, and make their works have vitality.
(5) Perseverance is the magic weapon to learn poetry writing.
Being engaged in literary creation is very boring, and poetry is no exception. Therefore, only those who persist and give up can achieve the final success on the road of poetry creation. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, used to study hard and wanted to give up halfway. One day, he saw an old lady grinding an iron bar by the roadside. Li Bai went up to the old lady and asked, "What are you grinding an iron bar for?" The old lady told him, "I will grind it into an embroidery needle." Li Bai asked in surprise, "When can such a thick iron bar be ground into an embroidery needle?" The old lady smiled and replied, "As long as I keep grinding, I will succeed one day." Li Bai was very moved when he came back. He studied hard and eventually became the most famous poet in China. As long as students study hard at an early age and write poems persistently, I believe they will eventually achieve something.
Finally, I wish the students success in their studies and realize their lofty ideals at an early date.
