Methods and steps of learning ancient poems

The Trilogy of Learning Ancient Poetry

First of all, when learning ancient poems, we should understand the historical background of the ancient poems we have learned and under what circumstances this poem was written, which will help us understand the thoughts and feelings of this poem.

Secondly, when learning ancient poetry, we should stick to the topic and understand the content. When learning ancient poetry, you should learn to understand the topic and then fasten it, so that you can think of what the author wants to write.

Finally, when learning ancient poetry, we should read it repeatedly and feel the poetry in the lyrics, so that on the basis of feeling the poetry, we can read the feelings in the poem, understand why the author wrote the word or poem, feel the feelings of the author when writing the poem, and hope to adopt it.

Learn ancient poetry from the following aspects.

Then when we study and appreciate ancient poetry, we should analyze it systematically and step by step to understand its meaning.

First of all, stick to the theme of poetry and understand the content.

In some ancient poems, the title is the eye of the content, such as Xin Qiji's "Night Tour of the Xijiang River on the Huangsha Road", which mainly describes what the poet saw and heard on the Huangsha Road on a summer night, such as Cha's "Night Book Seen on the Boat", which describes what the poet saw on the boat at night. To learn this kind of ancient poetry, we should first understand the topic, and then stick to the topic, so that students can guess the content and understand what the poet wrote in the process of guessing.

Second, guess the theme around this poem.

Because the ancient poems are short and pithy, they leave us a broad space for association. It is precisely because poetry is extremely simple and rich that it is inevitable to rely on "guessing" when reading poetry. This means that we must grasp the limited poetry and understand the theme of poetry: or reflect people's suffering, or express personal feelings, or condemn the corruption of political affairs, or feel sorry for the tragic life experience ... For example, Gong Zizhen's "falling in love is not a heartless thing, but a change." This is what students need to guess.

Third, grasp the key points and taste the image.

Images in China's ancient poems often express subjective feelings with the help of objective images, such as flowers, grass, mountains and rivers. Therefore, when we study ancient poems, we should also see the inner feelings through the appearances of these things. For example, Wang Wei's poem "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the long river sets the yen". Why is the "smoke" straight? Why is the "long river" round? In fact, this poem describes the perseverance and beauty of the frontier fortress, and at the same time, the word "circle" gives people a kind and slightly boundless feeling, which is also the inner feeling of Wang Wei who was excluded from the capital at that time.

Fourth, understand the author and historical background.

The creation of many ancient poems is related to the author's identity and historical background. For example, when Wen Tianxiang wrote Crossing the Ocean, Song Bing was besieged by nomads from afar, and Song Jun was in danger of defeat. Seeing all this, Wen Tianxiang, as a patriotic general, lamented that "the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs." However, due to the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court, he saw no hope of serving the country. Finally, he expressed his childlike innocence with a sentence that has been passed down through the ages, "Who has not died since ancient times, pay attention to the history of youth."

Fifth, read repeatedly and experience poetry.

As the saying goes, "Read it a hundred times and you will understand what it means." Reading should be a key to the teaching of ancient poetry in primary schools. A poem must be read through first, which is the foundation. Then read the feelings on the basis of understanding the general content of the poem, which is the focus and the last link of classroom learning of ancient poetry.
