How to Cultivate Students' Aesthetic Ability in Classical Poetry Teaching

When teaching students classical poetry, most Chinese teachers only pay attention to instrumentality, that is, they mainly focus on knowledge and skills. They usually translate poems to students completely and smoothly, and ask students to recite them after class, so that they can memorize famous sayings and sentences fluently during the exam and translate some paragraphs and sentences in the text in an appropriate way. However, this is contrary to the idea of cultivating students' sound personality, putting people first and building a harmonious society, and it also makes the cultural connotation of classical poetry lose its aesthetic feeling. Therefore, it is an important task for Chinese teachers to inherit excellent national cultural heritage and cultivate students' aesthetic ability and sound personality. First of all, the beauty of teachers' personality is the first condition of aesthetic education for students. As the main body of teaching and educating people, teachers should first have a perfect personality. The art of teaching is also the art of emotion, and example is better than words. In the usual teaching, students are instilled with positive factors in traditional personality, such as distinguishing right from wrong, emphasizing ethics, knowing honesty and shame, etc. Beautiful and harmonious teachers' language, proper expressions and actions, teachers' good attitude and correct value orientation can cultivate students' sentiment, stimulate their aesthetic enthusiasm and cultivate their noble aesthetic interest and personality cultivation. Second, create a suitable atmosphere for students to immerse themselves in the artistic conception of poetry and appreciate the beauty of Chinese teaching. Teachers should be good at inspiring and inducing, creating situations, and excavating aesthetic factors such as social beauty, natural beauty, moral beauty and human beauty in the text. In teaching, we should give full play to students' imagination and association, play some classical music or excellent reading tapes, and let students be in an aesthetic atmosphere.
