What is poetry teaching?

Poetry teaching has been a method of educating people with poetry since ancient times.

Our ancestors regarded poetry as the first of the Five Classics. By studying and creating poetry, they explored a set of effective methods of adolescent enlightenment education and ability training, which enabled them to have both creative thinking and logical generalization thinking ability with words as the carrier, laying the foundation for the civil service system.

At the same time, poetry has been entrusted with the hopes and dreams of China people for generations, and has a lofty position, so poetry actually plays a role similar to religion in China. This is also the reason why this education system is called poetry teaching. Poetry teaching is of great practical significance to contemporary China, and it is an excellent Chinese traditional culture that needs urgent rescue.
