How to teach traditional culture in lower grades

Take the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. As one of the four traditional folk festivals in China, in recent years, the atmosphere of "Dragon Boat Race with moxa sticks and candles" has become more and more intense.

This is because in the whole society, the call for the revival of traditional culture is getting higher and higher, and parents pay more attention to the education of traditional culture for their children.

However, many parents said that they didn't know how to close the distance between children and traditional culture and improve their interest in understanding traditional culture.

So today I will share with you how to carry out traditional culture education.

First, the traditional culture in China's ancient classics

Last month, we were in "No time to study when we go to primary school?" One book, three strokes to solve reading "Three Mountains" mentioned that since 20 17, a series of language reforms have raised reading to a new height.

Secondly, it is the new curriculum standard for ordinary high schools promulgated by the Ministry of Education on 20 18.

After four years of revision, strengthening the education of Chinese excellent traditional culture has become one of the focuses of the new curriculum standards, which runs through compulsory, elective and elective parts.

1, the specific gravity increases. It is clearly stipulated that "China's ancient excellent works should account for 1/2 in the classroom reading project", accounting for half of the country;

The quantity has increased. The original standard "Suggestions for Reading Articles" was changed to "Recommended Articles by Reciting Ancient Poems", and the number of recommended articles increased from 14 (first) to 72 (first), which improved the difficulty of memory.

3. Expand coverage. In the part of "Suggestions for reading in and out of class", students are required to read all kinds of ancient poems extensively, which puts forward higher requirements for comprehensive quality.

After the promulgation of the new curriculum standard, the first Beijing senior high school entrance examination took the lead in increasing the proportion of traditional culture, and the candidates generally reflected:

At first glance, it is all traditional culture. In addition to traditional ancient poetry and classical Chinese, basic application and big composition are also closely related to traditional culture.

Then, how to better enhance children's understanding of traditional culture through excellent ancient works?

It is relatively easy to learn the selection of excellent works in ancient times, because the concentration of classic works is very high, and they are often well-known and word-of-mouth works.

But it is not difficult to learn.

The main difficulty is that the context and expression of ancient excellent works are different from those of modern times. Parents need to do a lot of preparatory work to let their children really understand the artistic conception and meaning.

1, recommend works suitable for children at appropriate stages.

Preschool children are mainly exposed to what they hear. In addition to reading the versions of classic works at home, many poems and songs have been adapted into children's songs, which are light and bright, so that children can get the basic enlightenment about rhythm.

The kindergarten period of 4-6 years old is a period when children need to strengthen their awareness of rules and improve their self-control ability. At this time, children can learn etiquette from the sacred amethyst and disciples' rules, get a preliminary understanding of the operating rules of this world, and distinguish right from wrong. You can also strengthen children's intuitive feelings about traditional culture through idiom stories and cultural legends.

The lower grades of primary school can be combined with in-class reading and extended to extracurricular theme reading. The main task at this stage is to help children establish good study habits and maintain their interest in traditional culture.

After the senior grade of primary school, children basically have the ability to read independently. At this time, children can challenge more difficult works, such as trying more complicated poems and songs. If the foundation is well laid, children at this stage can appreciate the charm and scenery of ancient literary works without special explanation.

Take the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. In the Song Dynasty, Xu wrote "Picking Chrysanthemums under the East Hedgerow": Jade dumplings attack thousands of incense, and wormwood yellow wine can exorcise evil spirits. Father and son riding sachets, and a pretty daughter-in-law meet the scenery. Several crosses vividly describe the grand occasion of Zongxiang and Longzhou, as if a wonderful picture was unfolding before our eyes.

After junior high school, children's thoughts gradually mature, and their world outlook, outlook on life and values gradually form. At this time, we should recommend more philosophical works to children, such as The Analects of Confucius, to help them establish a correct three views.

2. Use different carriers to help children understand the works in depth.

In the process of learning excellent ancient prose, the companionship of parents is still the most important. From enlightenment, to study habits, to independent reading, to the establishment of three views, only we know our children best, we can also have a good relationship with them.

In addition to companionship, we should make full use of different carriers to help children better understand ancient literary works.

In recent years, various traditional cultural programs have entered our field of vision. From the Chinese character dictation conference, to the idiom conference in China, to the riddle conference in China and the Chinese poetry conference, the atmosphere of tasting classics and enhancing the soul has been formed.

Letting children watch such cultural programs in time is of great benefit to improving their comprehensive quality and enhancing their interest in learning traditional culture.

For another example, in the "Classic Chant" program, famous artists reinterpret traditional classics with modern vocals that we are familiar with, so that children can better feel the integration of classics and modernity.

There are many parents around me who wisely use the "Learning Ability" APP to obtain high-quality traditional cultural program resources for junior and senior high school children. In the "Learning Power" APP audio-visual learning catalog, you can find the cultural section. Through "Poems and Books", we can see the ancient road Xianyang, fireworks in Yangzhou in March, feel Su Shi's spontaneous life, and understand the glory of Zheng Banqiao. Visit major museums through national treasures; Through "Five Thousand Years of Calligraphy in China", we can see that calligraphy is splashed with ink.

Some parents are puzzled: even classic works, some of them are no longer applicable in today's society. When children grow up and have the ability to judge, they don't agree with this and even have a sense of rejection. How to guide them?

In fact, all knowledge has only three levels, namely "Tao", "Fa" and "Shu".

Classics refer to works that have been screened out through history and are "the most valuable" and can best express the essence and representativeness. Most of them are described in simple language that is closest to nature, in order to help us get along with the world, others and ourselves better.

Although the historical background is different, the "Tao" presented in ancient classics and the laws of nature and universe expressed will not change. This is the so-called "never leave its roots".

Children can be guided to learn the "Tao" in traditional classics from a deeper and deeper perspective.

As for the level of "Fa" and "Shu" in the works, it may be a rule formulated according to the historical conditions at that time, or it may be a specific operation method. You don't have to care too much, just need to know.

Second, the traditional culture in life.

Culture, in fact, is not profound or complicated. From the definition of encyclopedia, except politics and economy, everyone's activities can be regarded as a part of culture.

Therefore, in addition to ancient classic literature, our daily necessities are also full of culture.

The reason why many parents don't know how to educate traditional culture is precisely because culture is limited to literature.

In fact, in different areas of life, we can also see the epitome of culture.

Take the kindergarten in An 'an as an example. The theme of this semester is traditional snacks and hometown dialect songs.

At the beginning of the semester, the teacher called parents to collect all kinds of pictures and story books related to traditional snacks to understand the allusions of traditional snacks; The homework on the weekend is to let us take our children to observe the production process of traditional snacks on the spot, and after tasting, draw our own "traditional snack road map" and share it in class; In the handicraft class, the teachers prepared ingredients and props for the children to make snacks by themselves. The children are busy kneading dough and pressing it into a certain shape.

In the performance of the semester, the teacher invited the president of the hometown dialect song association to introduce the origin of hometown dialect to the children, and also invited the children to sing hometown dialect songs on stage. After the performance, the teachers also organized a cross-dressing activity to let the children choose their favorite clothes and take photos in the wooden corridor of the kindergarten.

These are all cultural heritages. Let children get traditional culture education unconsciously.

This practice is worth learning from.

Because in life, education that can arouse the feelings of the five senses can often achieve the best results.

For example, taking children to make handicrafts at home, you can choose to knead clay figurines, make Chinese knots and make paper-cuts; In professional workshops, you can also make pottery tools.

For example, when traveling, you can take your children to see museums, see characteristic buildings and taste local traditional snacks;

For example, when cultivating children's talents, you can choose talents related to traditional culture. Children who like art can learn painting and calligraphy, children who like mathematics and reasoning can learn chess, children who like music can play guzheng and play cucurbit flute, and children who like sports can dance folk dances.

For example, with the help of various festivals, we can talk with children about the origin of festivals and the folk customs of a long time ago.

Take the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. How did it come into being? Why did the ancients draw a "king" on a child's forehead? Why should I take a bath with wormwood during the Dragon Boat Festival? What's the difference between the taste of zongzi in the south and that in the north? What is the Dragon Boat Festival sachet for?

Telling these interesting stories to children is the best education.

There are shadows of traditional culture everywhere around us. As long as we keep paying attention, our attitude will definitely have a far-reaching impact on children.

Walking by the Jin 'an River last night, I heard the dragon boat beating drums. An An said excitedly, "Mom, it's a dragon boat! I watched the dragon boat rowing last year. How long! " While gesturing, he came to hold his sister's hand: "Look, the dragon boat, the long dragon boat is coming!" " Grandma wants to package jiaozi again. I like peanut dumplings best! "

Dad and I will smile.

I hope our next generation can feel the happiness and beauty of life in traditional culture more.
