Children who are "private schools" in Chinese studies must recite 80,000 Chinese classics in junior high school.

"People don't know what they don't know, people don't know what they suffer", "Gentleman's righteousness, villain's benefit" ... The reporter walked into Tianyi School in Beishan Town, Changsha County. At that time, it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Under the shade of the campus, beside the flower bed, there were students reading the Analects of Confucius and other China classics. Although the voice is immature, it is also loud. This is a private school of Chinese studies. There are 28 primary school students from Hong Kong, Jiangsu, Henan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, accompanied by 29 teachers.

Besides formal courses, we should also learn calligraphy and martial arts.

"Good uncle, good aunt!" On campus, every student warmly greets strangers. Older girls will subconsciously put their hands on their left abdomen and bow slightly, which is full of classical style. Into the second-grade classroom, six children are having an art class, and a student is drawing clouds on the blackboard. The other five students chattered about what clouds looked like in their seats. In order to let the children see what the clouds look like, the teacher specially took the children out of the classroom and went to the yard to see the clouds after the explanation.

There is a curriculum beside the blackboard in the classroom. The reporter found that in addition to Chinese, mathematics, music, physical education and other courses, children here also have to learn calligraphy and martial arts. Children must learn China's traditional classics such as The Analects of Confucius and Disciples' Rules every day. Chen Tao, the head of the school, said that the school has a rigid rule that every child should be able to recite at least 80,000 words when he graduates from junior high school, and some students are required to recite 6,543.8+0.4 million words to 2,654.38+0,000 words.

The children played in the pond without being criticized.

"If a teenager is natural, habits will become natural." Tianyi School adheres to this motto. At the end of June last year, several students aged around 10 jumped into the small pond of the school and started a water fight in the pond. This kind of behavior may be a serious violation of discipline in general schools. The teacher at Tianyi School didn't punish the children, but asked them to take a bath immediately and wash their clothes and shoes to dry. "Play is a child's nature. Just play. We won't care too much. " Teacher Wang of the school said that every time something similar happened, the teacher discussed with the children: Is this right? If not, how to restrain his impulse to play games.

For the exam, Tianyi School stipulates that if students are not satisfied with their exam results, they can choose to retake the exam, and the exam results will be subject to the high score. "Many times, children really understand, but because of carelessness or other reasons, the result is not ideal." Teacher Liu of the school said that applying for a second interview is only to prove that the child has really mastered the knowledge points.

Expert: It remains to be seen whether this model can succeed.

In recent years, exam-oriented education has been criticized more and more, and the upsurge of Chinese studies once became "the third upsurge after the stock market and mahjong".

However, many Chinese studies have gone astray: many students are unable to adapt to modern society because they are derailed from the current education system after experiencing Chinese studies, and some even become "little sheep" without personality. Chen Tao, the person in charge of Tianyi School, said that the research teaching in Tianyi School began at the end of 20 1 1. The original intention of setting up such a school is to let students have more contact with China traditional culture and form a sense of cultural belonging. The fundamental purpose of advocating learning Chinese studies is to return to the true nature of education, pay attention to individual growth, and let children get rid of the cruel shackles of judging success or failure by scores and grow up according to their own laws and wishes. Chen Tao said, "The tuition fee for students is 1000 yuan per semester. There is no publicity for school enrollment. All the parents sent their children to study after hearing the news orally. "

Yang Huiyun, a professor at the School of Humanities, Hunan Agricultural University, believes that in theory, traditional culture education and modern education are not incompatible, but due to the pressure of further studies and employment, the current formal education in China has largely become an education for quick success and instant benefit, lacking humanistic care. Whether this method and mode of Tianyi School can be successful in the end still needs to wait for the students it trains to be tested in society before reaching a conclusion. She said that there is no ready-made model for how to change education, "but people always need to explore."
