In addition, through exposure to and study of classical literature, classic stories, idiomatic tales, traditional festivals, and folk games and activities, the children's interest in traditional Chinese culture is significantly enhanced.

Secondly, it can sprout young children's sense of national pride. In their daily lives, young children are very willing to recite classical literature such as the Thousand Character Classic, the Three Character Classic, and Tang poems, and they have gradually grown fond of some of China's classic animated films. They begin to have some contact with and understanding of Chinese folk games and activities, and from this they feel the vastness and depth of traditional Chinese culture and develop a sense of national pride.

Two ways to implement traditional culture education

(1) Implementing Chinese culture education in drawing activities

Drawing activities are to guide children to use various drawing tools and materials, such as crayons, oil paint, colored pencils, colored water brushes, brushes, paper, cloth, silk, gouache, ink, etc., to express what they are thinking and creating their own ideas through the language of art, such as lines, colors, shapes, and compositions. Through lines, colors, shapes, compositions and other art languages, they can express what children think and create various visual images. Painting is the main part of art teaching activities for young children. Painting is only a means and a method for young children, and painting is not an end in itself, but rather an activity to cultivate young children's observation, memory, creativity, and to cultivate a beautiful sentiment and a beautiful personality. Early childhood educators should inspire young children to take the initiative to observe and give them opportunities for self-expression, so that drawing activities can become an effective way for young children to express their emotions. The drawing of young children does not require them to reproduce the realistic image of things on the paper, but to use the paper as a stage for young children to express themselves, allowing them to play. Through a variety of painting activities, children can recognize the beautiful world, cultivate feelings, and thus love nature and life.

The vast Chinese culture contains many treasures left to us by ancient people, who created and inherited a wealth of handicrafts with their own wisdom, and these handicrafts are integrated into all corners of our lives, making our world more beautiful and colorful. Early childhood educators should look for an easy entry point and way to be accepted by children from these rich arts and crafts, to educate for fun and to exercise children's hands-on ability and creativity.

In educational thinking, some negative and feudal ideas are inevitably mixed in, and individual contents are difficult to learn, which are not meaningful and difficult to accept for young children. Therefore, in teaching, teachers must reasonably select materials, discriminate and discard, and choose the essence of traditional literature to educate young children.
