The Relationship between Education and Culture in China

Chinese is the foundation of all disciplines. It is not only a tool, but also a cultural carrier. Chinese teaching is the inheritance of traditional culture, and the traditional culture in China has a long history and is profound. More importantly, China's traditional culture has distinctive national characteristics, which embodies the cultural quality and spirit of the Chinese nation and is also the value orientation and aesthetic requirements of the people of China. Chinese teaching is an important means to inherit and develop traditional culture.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Only the soul of the people is valuable. Only when he develops the soul of the people can China make real progress." The soul of the people is an extension of our 5,000-year-old traditional culture and a manifestation of it. Students are the future of the country and the inheritors of traditional culture, but today we are at a disadvantage in inheriting, understanding and learning traditional culture. First of all, with the rapid development of society, all kinds of new things attract students' attention, which makes students seldom contact and learn traditional culture and spend more time indulging in these superficial things. Network, a new thing, often has too little inside information and too shallow and vulgar connotation, which affects students' humanistic cultivation and takes up learning. Secondly, with the development of the reform and opening-up economy, the western "fast food culture" has also impacted the traditional culture of China. For example, in recent years, with more and more people in China, especially young people, becoming more and more enthusiastic about Christmas, even surpassing China's own festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival, the four traditional festivals in China, has been listed as the heritage of other countries. The west relies on Hollywood DreamWorks to process their culture, making it easy for young people to accept their culture, such as heroes, vampires and knights. Finally, exam-oriented education does not attach importance to humanistic education. Education is more of a form, and students don't need to understand the meaning, just remember and write it down. In the process of learning, students often just stay on the knowledge points, and don't have much impression on the development and inheritance of culture. The same exam-oriented training takes up a lot of students' time and deprives them of the opportunity to taste the classics and understand the traditional culture.

Faced with this situation, we can only change this situation from the idea of scripted, and education, especially Chinese education, plays a decisive role in it.

"Chinese Curriculum Standard" points out: "Chinese curriculum should further improve students' Chinese literacy, make students have strong Chinese application ability, aesthetic ability and inquiry ability, form good ideological and moral cultivation and scientific and cultural cultivation, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning and personality development. "The new curriculum standard promotes Chinese education to the height of aesthetic education, which has far-reaching significance. Most of the contents used in Chinese teaching are the essence of traditional culture. It is a good way to improve Chinese literacy to give students traditional input while appreciating beauty. As the starting point of aesthetic education, traditional culture, combined with Chinese teaching, can get twice the result with half the effort.

Educator Mr. Qian Menglong once said: "Chinese teaching is the most representative science of inheriting and developing traditional culture, and it is mother tongue teaching. It is the source, root, soul and soul of traditional culture. " We should respect the laws and characteristics of Chinese education, screen, sort out and refine well, so that traditional culture can be carried forward and developed. In order to make traditional culture develop better in Chinese class and let students know more about traditional culture, we need to have a correct understanding of traditional culture, which includes not only the classic culture of the Chinese nation, but also the natural and scientific culture of western traditional culture in some aspects, but it should be based on China culture. The main body of education and teaching is students and teachers, so is Chinese teaching. For teachers, it is necessary to give full play to the role of classroom teaching as the main channel, so that traditional cultural education can be implemented. In many teaching links, especially in classroom teaching, we should do a good job in the teaching of classic articles, pay attention to students' feelings, let students take the initiative to learn and become interested in Chinese and traditional culture. In the face of the lack of students' traditional culture, we should not blame students blindly, but should also clearly understand the gains and losses in our work, give students long-term unremitting teaching, and carry out it with goals, plans and measures in order to fundamentally change the status quo.
