What is the significance of studying China's classical literature? Is it necessary for modern people to study?

Throughout history, China is an ancient civilization with a long history and culture of 5,000 years. Its profound and splendid traditional culture has left an extremely precious historical heritage for Chinese descendants. Traditional classical literature is an artistic wonder of China culture. Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties is a combination of ideological beauty, linguistic beauty and artistic beauty. Classic allusions are the crystallization of the wisdom of humanities and natural sciences, which contain common sense and common practice. They teach people that life is always routine, catchy and rhyming endlessly. Classical literature spans three categories: moral education, intellectual education and aesthetic education, flashing the unique spiritual genes of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, it has cultivated countless China talents and romantic figures, who have made China culture stand among the world's cultural forests. However, facing the reality, the rapid development of modern society is changing people's lives with each passing day. People have absorbed many western cultures. Especially our children, are gradually attracted by the novelty of foreign countries. They know computers, English, can recite advertisements, like Disney and other cartoons, foreign stationery, and love to eat foreign fast food, but they know little about their own national classic culture and stay away from the classic literature and quintessence art that have influenced generations of outstanding people. Modern parents also think that classical literature is obsolete and useless, ignoring or even discarding the most basic cultural support of our nation. A generation of descendants of the Chinese people will gradually lose their own cultural characteristics and advantages, lose their national pride and cohesion, and the traditional culture of China will gradually appear a fault phenomenon.

2 1 century is a century of competition between science and technology and national quality. Especially after China's entry into WTO, the earth will become a home. The requirement for talents in the future is that they must have their own characteristics, and only the national ones are the world's. Nan, a master of Chinese studies, said: "A nation needs a kind of spiritual support, but a nation without a cultural foundation is hopeless. Without its own culture, a nation will not make progress or innovate. " Only when a China person with his own traditional foundation can contribute everything to the world can he identify with and learn from other countries' cultures. Regrettably, our current education focuses on modern scientific and technological knowledge and ignores humanistic knowledge. Education should take into account the country's century-old plan to connect the past and the future. Traditional education should start with children. As a kindergarten teacher, we have the responsibility to let the essence of traditional literature be passed down from generation to generation, and there will be successors through the ages, so that the traditional culture that has lasted for 5,000 years has the vitality to accept the world endlessly.

We think it is of great significance to carry out classical literature education. First of all, we can understand the splendid culture of the Chinese nation, deepen our understanding of the five-year culture of the motherland, and enhance our national pride and self-confidence. Secondly, we can accept the influence of excellent literature, improve our aesthetic ability, enrich our knowledge, enlighten our wisdom and develop our potential. Thirdly, it plays an irreplaceable role in shaping personality, forming traditional virtues and cultivating sentiment, laying a good foundation for training children to be human beings in the future, to be China people and to be people with lofty ideals in modern China.
