What's the use of letting children recite ancient poems? Does it make sense?
On the Zhihu, a question about whether children should recite ancient poems sparked a heated discussion.
When we were young, even if we recited 300 Tang poems, we may not really understand the artistic conception, but as we grow older, we may forget them completely.
Now, as parents, should children recite ancient poems?
As the teacher wants to say, you may forget the poems you have recited, but you will know what a good composition is if you have experienced good rhythm, good writing and good artistic conception.
Children who can recite Tang poetry and Song poetry have different temperament. The beauty of rhythm and rhythm of poetry will be rooted in the bottom of my heart, which will affect children's understanding of words and even the establishment of three views.
A parent recalled that in his first Chinese class in junior high school, the teacher asked them to recite the inscription on the monument of Mr. Wang Jing' an in Haining. Although it is not 100% ancient prose, it is still not very clear to the students who just entered junior high school. The Chinese teacher said, "Learn it by heart first, and you will understand it later." Ten years have passed, and he still remembers that sentence: Only this spirit of independence and freedom has been worshipped for thousands of years. It is as long as the world and shines in Yong Guang.
Of course, it is easier for children to choose poems according to their age and make them more willing to accept them. Young children choose catchy poems, and there are relatively no difficult sentences, such as "Mohe" and "Xiao Chun". When the child is older, we can ask him to recite some poems and ancient prose with deep meanings.
Here, I recommend an introductory book "The Enlightenment of Melody" to teachers and parents, which is suitable for 4- 10 or even older children to enter the world of poetry. Of course, what parents need to do is to set up scenes and pictures to guide and accompany their children to recite ancient poems.
The enlightenment of rhythm is the enlightenment reading for training children to cope with and master rhythm. According to rhyme, it includes astronomy, geography, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, figures and artifacts. From single word pairs to double word pairs, three word pairs, five word pairs, seven word pairs to eleven word pairs, the sound and rhyme are harmonious and catchy. It is unique and enduring in the enlightenment books.
In the educational reform, primary and secondary education now pays more attention to guiding children to learn excellent traditional culture, emphasizing returning to classic reading, cultivating students' interest in literature and stimulating students' curiosity about culture.
Then, let children recite ancient poems, accumulate cultural temperament and details, and start with the enlightenment of reciting temperament.
It is meaningful for children to recite ancient poems.
Explain from the following aspects:
1. In terms of literary literacy,
The sentences in ancient poems rhyme and are catchy. Children's recitation is easy to remember. Children will not show the effect immediately after reciting, but in a later scene, ancient poems will blurt out, which is very charming.
Once, my daughter saw a picture of a waterfall, and the words "The water flies down three thousands of feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days" blurted out, which surprised the audience.
Children will also love literature and poetry. Lay a foundation for future study.
2. From the perspective of brain functional development.
The sensitive period of children's language begins at the age of 3, and memorizing rhythmic words like poems can train children's brain function.
Pay attention to the methods when reciting:
1. Conduct two-speed input training.
After hearing it, simply recite it and exercise your memory ability. If you adjust your speaking speed when reciting, you can carry out speed listening training to lay the foundation for speed listening and speed reading in the future and train your concentration. Double the speed first, then triple the speed. Listen like this.
2. Left and right brain coordination training
Simple language input, children actually can't fully understand. Show the children the corresponding pictures, so that they can understand them and remember them more easily.
At the same time, the right brain's picture memory ability and the ability of the left and right brains to work together were trained, so that the corpus callosum connecting the left and right brains became thicker. It improves the ability of converting language into words, words into pictures and pictures into words.
Brain function training methods will be introduced to you in detail in the future.
3. In terms of self-confidence.
Children can recite many ancient poems, which will enhance their interest and self-confidence. Thus positively affecting children's love for learning.
1 accords with the characteristics of children's age development.
Kindergarten children are in a sensitive period of order, and reciting children's songs and ancient poems is helpful to help children establish a stable order mood.
Because ancient poetry has a certain rhythm, children will be more sensitive and fond of words with even rhythm and obvious rhythm when they first start learning a language, and it is easier to remember them with you. This is the main reason for reciting ancient poems and three-character classics. Of course, modern children's songs are no problem.
2 is the best time to turn knowledge into instinct.
This stage is a sensitive period of language and a good opportunity for multilingual development, especially the development of Chinese. At this time, the child does not understand, but it is the memory of sound and feeling. This advantage is that a large number of flat relationships or musical beats are stored in children's minds. This is of great help to future study, memory and independent creation.
As the saying goes, if you accumulate more, you can speak freely. Classical Chinese is rarely used in daily life, so exercise naturally depends on reciting.
Therefore, reciting ancient poems is very helpful to the intellectual development of children before the age of 6. However, some children just don't like it, so don't worry. Modern nursery rhymes and English nursery rhymes are also acceptable.
Meaningful! Meaningful! Meaningful! ……
Important things can't be said too many times!
I see in the following reply that it is meaningless. Why? Isn't the culture accumulated for thousands of years worth letting children contact and understand?
There's no point in saying it Many people may think that it is a waste of time for children to recite at such a young age. They forget it when they grow up, let alone use it, so there is no point in judging it.
Is everything we learn for direct application? Input and output are not exactly equal. Or it can be said that a lot of input will be processed by the mind, thinking, memory, feelings and so on. And the output time is not the original state.
Can you understand? According to the subject's question, it is the input of original information to let children recite ancient poems. Through talking, reciting and other links, these ancient poems are not the original original state in children's minds, but may be a rhythm, a vocabulary or an artistic conception brought by reciting, which is absorbed by children and integrated into their personality. The time and state of the output is uncertain, and it may be a certain intersection, which will ignite the child's memory and turn it into another form of output.
This process will not happen overnight at first, nor will it be immediate afterwards, nor is it a complete state. So it is meaningless to say that people are short-sighted.
Why do we feel strange, novel and confused when we go to a country or region of different nationalities? It is because it is not the region where we grew up and is not influenced by the local culture that there is a distance. The ancient poems handed down from China culture for thousands of years are the essence of our culture and need to be handed down from generation to generation. Children should contact and love from an early age, and then form their own culture in his blood, and have roots. It can't be measured by meaning.
In fact, it is meaningless for kindergarten teachers to let children recite ancient poems!
1, the child's language is imperfect, and many pronunciations are inaccurate, which is difficult to correct after reciting.
2. Children don't know what poetry means at all and waste their brains.
Some kindergarten teachers also taught the meaning wrong.
Kindergarten teachers let children learn ancient poems just to show their hometown what they have learned, and they didn't spend money in vain.
In my opinion, if the child recites it, there is no need to force him to teach. As long as he knows how to write his homework, it doesn't matter whether he can write it or not. If it is really difficult to understand, there is no need to force him to go to primary school. The Ministry of Education does not support kindergartens to study primary school courses! Let children learn a lot in games, but traveling with children to increase their knowledge and exercise is more important than courses! I wish the baby a healthy and happy growth!
For children, reciting ancient poems is not only useful but also meaningful. Why? First, people should recite a certain number of ancient poems, so that they can talk tastefully, otherwise they are laymen. I remember Confucius once asked his son if he had read the Book of Songs. His son replied that Confucius said that if he didn't read the Book of Songs, he wouldn't be able to speak. Second, it can develop intelligence, and reciting poems can improve people's memory, thinking ability and concentration. With these three forces, you can't do without high IQ. Third. It is the best way to enlighten and cultivate honesty. As the saying goes, "you are old at the age of three." If you don't pay attention to cultivating honesty when you are young, it will be more difficult in the future. Simply answer these words, and the function and meaning will be mixed.
"I am familiar with 300 ancient poems, and I can recite them even if I can't write them." Don't say that you are proficient in everything, and elegant things are always one or two. Even the most ordinary people, the lowest class should know how to cultivate character and sentiment.
People can't just drill into the eyes of money, and they are always mistaken for fame and fortune all their lives! When a person is born, he must first establish the way of survival, then enjoy life and pursue spiritual things, so that the material can be diluted and the mind can be detached.
The talent in your belly can only prove your wisdom, and the wealth with you can only trap you. Different temperament and different thinking can make you drift to the opposite of yourself, face yourself squarely, see through life and understand it. .....
Thank you for inviting me!
It really doesn't make sense for children to recite ancient poems. However, the education in China has gone bad, prompting many parents to be eager for utility. They always think that children cannot lose at the starting line. When they see that other children can recite a few poems, they must let their children recite them, otherwise their hearts will be unbalanced. Therefore, the study burden of children in China is one of the heavier countries in the world. Various interest classes and make-up classes kill all the childishness of children, both inside and outside the school! Everyone knows it's wrong, but they all say it's forced. In the end, it's all the fault of the education system. It's really hard to explain. I really don't know what the problem is.
There are words like "heart", "At the beginning of life, human nature is good. Sex is similar and learning is far away. " For young children, everything they come into contact with can be compared to seeds buried in their hearts. When children grow up, different children become "fields" of different Miao feelings.
The ancients studied 305 pieces of The Book of Songs as one of the Five Classics, and the importance was self-evident. Confucius said, "There are 300 poems. In a word, they are innocent.".
Let me quote a few words first: "Reading thousands of poems has its own realm." "There are poems and books in your stomach, and you will never lose beauty."
Whether it is useful for children to read poetry is a matter of opinion.
Pure "back" is also useful! But interesting memories are 100% useful
Look at Zhang Jiawei. You travel around the world by writing and live an easy life. When I was a child, I thought these things were useless and difficult to remember. When I grow up, I see others quoting classics, which is a profound literary foundation.
Even if I don't engage in writing-related work when I grow up, I have this foundation. At least the leader will write something for me or write a composition in the exam to get extra points!
