How is the development of Chinese studies now?

With the rise of the revival of Chinese studies, the "Confucius Sacrifice Ceremony" and modern private education have become the focus of media attention. Compared with these hot spots, these "little moves" here are silent, but it is in this silent subtle influence that teachers and parents are pleasantly surprised to find that children become more polite, respect teachers and care for others by reading classics. ...

This is a microcosm of the implementation of traditional cultural education in our city.

Xi' an, an ancient city with profound traditional cultural accumulation, what is the current development of Chinese studies education and what is the form of development? Recently, the reporter interviewed Ming Yuan, president of the An Guoxue Culture Research Association, and learned about the development of An Guoxue education.

Civil forces play a leading role.

"Now we say' Chinese studies', broadly speaking, refers to the traditional culture of China composed of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. At present, the' national studies' promoted by everyone are mainly based on some classic Confucian cultural works. In fact, it is mainly based on popularization, because after the Cultural Revolution, many people did not understand some basic concepts of traditional culture, or their understanding was biased. So now it is reintroduced. " After the meeting, Mr. Mingyuan first explained to reporters the basic contents of "Chinese studies" under the current revival trend of "Chinese studies".

"About this trend, it should be in the 1990s. It was first put forward by some overseas Chinese scholars, and the representative figure is Nan, a master of Chinese studies. Ren, a famous domestic scholar, also suggested that children should be exposed to some traditional cultural classics. At that time, there was a great controversy in the academic and educational circles, especially many children's education experts opposed it, believing that it would have a negative impact on the ideological development of children and adolescents. However, some people support it and some people practice it. At that time, there was a group of people mainly engaged in it in Beijing. I was also in Beijing at that time and didn't participate, but I was very concerned about such a trend. However, with the passage of time, our country has become stronger and stronger, the pride of national culture has gradually increased, and fewer and fewer people have attacked traditional culture. Of course, this is inseparable from the initial success of some practitioners in the field of children's education. Generally speaking, the revival of Chinese studies is mainly promoted by some folk people. Around 2000, after I returned to Xi 'an, I began to practice slowly with some like-minded friends in Xi 'an. We mainly rely on our own interests and love for traditional culture to do these things. "

"Opponents at that time, the main reason for their opposition was that the traditional classic culture with too many feudal ideas would have a bad influence on children, and recitation was not a scientific way of learning. Indeed, when Confucianism developed into Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, it suppressed the development of human personality to a certain extent, but times changed and the big environment of feudal society no longer existed. Nowadays, children are spoiled and naughty, so when we promote some traditional etiquette education, parents and teachers are particularly welcome. Practice has proved that many people are polite and have a sense of responsibility after being educated by traditional culture. Regarding the problem of rote memorization, the current research on early childhood education shows that children's learning ability is memory, so children should be allowed to remember more things at this stage. " Teacher Zhang Tiantai, a researcher at the seminar and engaged in the practice of primary education for many years, added some explanations to the reporter.

Mr. Mingyuan's own practice mainly refers to promoting children to "read" traditional cultural classics and cultivating talents for Chinese studies education. In addition, in order to better carry out this work, Mingyuan established the Xi 'an Chinese Classical Culture Research Association in June last year. Since the establishment of the research society, they jointly held the third global reading conference on Chinese cultural classics with five cities at home and abroad in August last year, which achieved good social publicity results. Since its establishment, the seminar has invited more than 10 domestic experts on Chinese studies to give lectures on Chinese studies education to teachers in kindergartens and primary schools where Chinese studies are read, so as to help them improve their Chinese studies literacy.
