Do you have any good suggestions to strengthen the education of Chinese studies?

As a treasure of Chinese culture, the classics of Chinese studies have stood for thousands of years and are also a concentrated expression of the national spirit. All aspects of China people's thoughts and behaviors are permeated with the essence of Chinese studies. 100 years ago, the classics of Chinese studies were still classics that the whole Chinese nation was eager to read and study. After just 100 years, people have given up their "loyalty", which stems from several great changes in China's thought in modern times. The leaders of the reform tried to awaken the ignorant and conservative people and try their best to get rid of the lag of traditional culture, but they overcorrected and almost uprooted them. During that period, China people turned pale when they talked about "classics", and the glory of China's classics was gone forever.

When 2 1 century opens a new historical chapter, the international competition of "soft power" begins, and cultures of various countries compete with each other. Various "World Heritage Application" campaigns show us that the occupation of cultural highlands is a new atmosphere of modern international competition, and people pay more attention to a country's national charm, cultural atmosphere and historical accumulation, not just GDP. How to make the Chinese nation unique in the competition, with distinct self and unique charm, has become a hot topic at present. Blind "takenism" can no longer be recognized by people, and the most effective and reliable way is to regain the soul of China-the classics of Chinese studies.

"Young people are wise in the country, and young people are strong in the country." Liang Qichao enthusiastically praised the youth as the strength of the country's rise in his On young chinese. As a nation's hope, teenagers are generally regarded as future talents that can be shaped, and the way to shape them depends on a country's development concept and prospects. Therefore, Chinese people must first establish a correct concept of classical education in Chinese studies. It is generally believed that it is a long-term and effective traditional culture education to realize it through basic education, that is, Chinese education courses in primary and secondary schools. (1) Secondly, we should carry out the general course of China classics in universities, but the implementation of classic education in primary and secondary schools is not optimistic, and there are even fewer "classic" contents in university education.

First, the status quo of classic education

In recent years, there has gradually emerged a "fever of Chinese studies" in society. Following the launch of programs such as Lessons from the Analects of Yu Dan and Interpretation of Disciples' Rules by Lecture Room, classic books on Chinese studies have been well received by the society. Primary and secondary schools around the country began to focus on introducing classic reading courses of Chinese studies. Walking into the campus in the morning, the sound of reading is endless, but it gives people a sense of form. Students' inability to recite classics has become the most extensive evaluation standard at present, but the interpretation of classics after reciting is far from enough. As for the translation homework, students can cope with it by buying a translation dictionary, but the accuracy of the translation book is not completely convincing. Without the reproduction experience and in-depth grasp of the context, we can't really understand the connotation of Chinese studies. In addition to formal recitation, there is also a utilitarian mentality hidden in schools and society. The examination-oriented education indicators of some schools and the comparison atmosphere of parents are driving or forcing students to pursue the quantity and accuracy of recitation, and various competition methods have painted utilitarian colors on Chinese classics. These superficial forms not only fail to grasp the essence of classics, but also make classics a commercial product and classic education a classic recitation and classic competition. This kind of education not only makes the connotation of classics seriously lost, but also makes students feel disgusted and indifferent to classics.

In the highly specialized teaching of universities, it is even more difficult to see a place for classical education. Except those majors related to Chinese classics, other majors, especially science and engineering majors, hardly involve the re-edification of any Chinese classics. What remains in the minds of college students is the classics that have been recited in junior high school, but have not yet fully understood. Understanding the classics is not a moment, but a lifetime. Only with the growth of age can we deepen our understanding and benefit a lot. There is neither the requirement of classic courses nor the drive of interest in universities. Most students are good at science and poor in humanities. Good at computers, but lack of human brains; Good at online feelings, not good at human feelings; Good goods, poor character; Good at power, but not good at reason. Then, Ji Baocheng, president of China Renmin University, put forward a sharp question: "What is a university: producing useful machines? Forging a harmonious person? " It has to be admitted that some universities have caused many realistic social problems by neglecting humanities education.

Second, how to make classics enter the classroom

1. Teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools

(1) Determine what kind of content can enter the classroom. The criticism of classics in the last century was not completely wrong. There must be backward and unrealistic contents in ancient classics. The inheritance of any classic involves the process of continuous selection and revision. The key is to make corrections from a more objective, scientific and people-oriented perspective to ensure that the selected content conforms to the intelligence level and understanding ability of primary and secondary school students and is close to their real life. Because of the long history, the essence of China's classics can't be understood, so the content we introduce into the classroom can't be too divorced from reality. At the same time, the study of Chinese classics should be a gradual process. Although some knowledge of Chinese studies will be interspersed in the teaching process of various subjects, they are all fragmented and fragmented. Therefore, the study of Chinese studies needs to establish a systematic system, so that students can truly understand the framework connotation of Chinese studies. Reciting is still an indispensable means to learn Chinese classics. No matter how fashionable the classroom form is, we should also lay a good foundation. Of course, recitation must be hierarchical. For junior students, we should choose catchy and easy-to-understand classic paragraphs. Senior students can increase the difficulty, and those obscure paragraphs are not suitable for rote learning. At the same time, teachers can combine etiquette, gratitude, inspirational and other educational activities to help students understand and make recitation activities richer and more systematic.

(2) The study of Chinese studies needs enough space for self-thinking and expression. Classics are the source of the whole nation and individual life, and everyone can get useful ingredients from them. In understanding, it must be thousands of people, not thousands of people. (3) Abandoning the "indoctrination" teaching method, teachers should play an interactive role, guide students to acquire knowledge actively, encourage students to hold different opinions, and thus stimulate their interest in in in-depth exploration. Compared with the ancients, it is explained by body and mind. ④ In addition, we should interpret classic texts from a modern perspective in classroom teaching. Classics have existed for a long time, and their inherent essence has been inevitably fixed, and diversified aesthetic perspectives cannot break through this barrier. Students think that classics are "platitudes" and "old almanac books" and have no effect. Being confined to the inherent value system without paying attention to the realistic social changes will also lead to the loss of classic culture. Therefore, it is particularly important to reconstruct the classics and interpret them with new discourse symbols. Some TV academic programs are making efforts in this respect, but the most effective channel of communication is still in schools, because school education endows classics with modern significance and strong vitality, which is a force for the continuous continuation of classic culture.

In the education of Chinese studies, teachers are the most important factor. Teachers, as the main practitioners of "setting an example", can be said to play a more important role than textbooks, and their literacy in Chinese studies directly affects students' further study and development in the future. Nowadays, most teachers have grown up under the education of criticizing tradition. In the process of understanding and explaining, students are often asked to look at traditional culture with the same critical eyes. Therefore, in order to "correct the name" of Chinese studies, it is particularly important to objectively re-evaluate the historical and cultural status of Chinese studies. In addition, the content of Chinese studies is extensive and profound, which requires teachers to study the classics of Chinese studies in depth and carefully, fully understand and grasp their connotation and extension, so as to deal with students' difficult problems. At the same time, the teaching process should be creative, and teachers should combine their own life experience to express new ideas, thus giving vitality to Chinese studies and creativity to students.

(3) The concept of "integration of knowledge and practice" must run through the classroom and life. The focus of Chinese studies education is not to teach people to recite and write, but to learn to do it. Only knowing what you can't do, talking on paper, will eventually lead to students' inability to form the ability to solve practical problems. This can also explain why today's students get good grades, but they always perform poorly in dealing with people. However, doing nothing will lead to more serious consequences. First, students' own development is blocked. Because of the lack of knowledge accumulation, we can't create higher life value and can only meet the basic life. Second, it is unfavorable to social development. A person who has no humanistic education is more likely to harm society because of his narrowness. Therefore, the evaluation system of sinology education should give more consideration to students' practice of sinology spirit. Schools can create activities for students to give full play to their initiative and consciousness, such as community volunteer service, environmental protection activities, virtual classrooms and so on. It can not only evaluate students in activities, but also teach students to think and deal with problems.

2. Some suggestions on the classic education of Chinese studies in colleges and universities

It is only a starting point to improve the quality of college students' Chinese studies and institutionalize Chinese studies education. However, there are still some difficulties in this starting point, and many colleges and universities gradually expand the influence of Chinese studies by offering elective courses of Chinese studies. This is a robust method, but it is necessary to improve the rigid evaluation method and form a complete "teaching-learning-evaluation" process. In this system, students make full use of the flexibility of the credit system and implement interdisciplinary course according to the teaching plan and under the guidance of teachers, so that students can have more choices and develop freely, broaden their knowledge in cross-learning and improve their comprehensive cultural quality. ⑤ At the same time, the university classroom pays more attention to speculation and argumentation, and teachers respect students' intellectual achievements in guidance by constructing their own roles as participants. Pay attention to group cooperative learning, classroom report and other forms, so that the boring classroom becomes a forum for knowledge exchange. In addition, schools can narrow the distance between classics and students through lectures, academic activities and cultural festivals, and cultivate students' goodwill towards China classics.
