Why is language teaching a heritage of traditional culture?

Language is the foundation of all subjects, it is not only a tool, but also a cultural carrier. Language teaching is the inheritance of traditional culture, and traditional Chinese culture has a long history and is profound, more importantly, traditional Chinese culture has a distinctive national characteristics, reflecting the cultural qualities and cultural spirit of the Chinese nation, but also the value orientation and aesthetic requirements of the Chinese people. Language teaching is an important means of passing on and developing traditional culture.

Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Only the soul of the people is valuable, and only when he carries it forward can China make real progress." And the soul of the people is the extension of our 5,000 years of traditional culture, is for the performance of traditional culture. Students are the future of the country, but also the inheritors of traditional culture, but now we have for the inheritance of traditional culture, understanding, learning in an unfavorable status quo, first of all, the rapid development of society a variety of new things to attract the attention of students, so that the students for the contact of the traditional culture, learning very little, more time addicted to the surface of these things, these new things such as the network, etc., often Without too much substance and its connotation is too shallow and vulgar, which affects the students' humanistic cultivation occupies the study time. Secondly, with the reform and opening up of economic development at the same time, the Western "fast food culture" is also the same for China's traditional culture impact, such as in recent years, as more and more Chinese people, especially young people, for Christmas is more and more enthusiastic, and even more than China's own festivals, resulting in the Dragon Boat Festival, China's four traditional festivals are listed as the heritage of other countries; the Western four traditional festivals were The four traditional Chinese festivals of the Dragon Boat Festival have been listed as the heritage of other countries; the West relies on Hollywood as a dream factory to process their culture, so that young people can easily accept their culture, "heroes", "vampires", "knights" and so on. and so on. Finally, the examination education does not pay attention to humanities education, education is more of a form, do not need students to understand the meaning of understanding, but only require to be able to memorize and write down, students in the process of learning is often only stuck in the knowledge, for the development of culture, heritage does not have too much of an impression of the same examination training takes up a lot of time, depriving the students of the time to taste the classics, and depriving students of the opportunity to understand the traditional culture. The opportunity to understand traditional culture.

Faced with such a situation, the only way to change the status quo is to follow the original idea, and education, especially language education, occupies a pivotal position in it.

The Language Curriculum Standards state: "The language curriculum should further improve students' language literacy, enable students to have strong language application skills, aesthetic ability and inquiry ability, and form a good ideological and moral cultivation and scientific and cultural cultivation, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and personality development." The new curriculum elevates language education to the height of aesthetic education, which has far-reaching significance. Most of the content applied in the process of language teaching is the essence of traditional culture, in the students aesthetic at the same time also to the students of traditional input, with aesthetic as a breakthrough, so as to enhance the language literacy, is a very good method, and the traditional culture as a grasp of aesthetic education, combined with language teaching, for the dissemination of traditional culture can play twice the effect with half the effort.

Educator Mr. Qian Menglong also said, "Language teaching is the most representative science of inheritance and development of traditional culture, is the mother tongue teaching, he is the source, is the root, is the soul, is the soul of traditional culture." To respect the laws and characteristics of language education, well sifted, organized, refined, so that traditional culture can be promoted and developed, in order to make the traditional culture in the language classroom to get better development, so that students know more about the understanding of the traditional culture, it is necessary to have a correct understanding of the traditional culture, the traditional culture not only includes the classic culture of the Chinese nation, but also in some aspects of the Western traditional culture good natural The culture of science, however, it should be constructed on top of the culture of the Chinese nation. The main body of education and teaching is students and teachers, language teaching is the same, for teachers to give full play to the main channel of classroom teaching, so that the traditional culture of education in practice, in many teaching links, especially classroom teaching links, to do a good job of teaching the classics, pay attention to the feelings of the students so that students take the initiative to learn their own language, interest in traditional culture. And the face of students on the lack of traditional culture, can not blame the students, but also to recognize their own work in the gains and losses, the students for a long period of time unremitting teaching, with goals, plans, measures, super can fundamentally change the status quo.

The inheritance and promotion of traditional culture is worrying, and through language education can be a good change in this status quo, so that students from the ideological first change, and then extended to behavior, so as to inherit the traditional culture, and as a basis for continuous innovation and development, so as to make our traditional culture in the baptism of the ages in the light of the glory is still, and everlasting and steadfast.
