Is it to promote traditional culture or seek commercial interests?

Culture is the calling card of a region, a nation and a country, and traditional culture is a treasure accumulated by a nation for many years. However, some people use or even abuse individual elements of traditional culture to spoil traditional culture and seek commercial interests. Today, it is necessary for us to think about how to pay tribute to traditional culture.

I don't know when it started, but there was a phrase in the circle "Pay tribute to traditional culture!"

What circle? Many laps! Publishing circles, film circles, opera circles, fashion circles, and even business circles, catering circles, and draft circles that are not directly related to traditional culture ... It seems that as long as they are in the name of culture, especially under the banner of traditional culture, things will immediately become elegant and sacred.

Of course, there are many people who truly respect culture, especially traditional culture, but some people seek commercial interests in the name of promoting traditional culture. Madame roland's classic sentence "Freedom, how many sins act in your name" is interpreted as a realistic version of "traditional culture, how many interests act in your name."

Is it too much for children to learn Chinese studies?

Seeing such a scene a few days ago made people think deeply. Several first-grade children in the community are basking in the sun and reciting Disciples Rules. "Parents should scream, don't slow down, parents should be careful, don't be lazy, parents should teach, listen, parents should be responsible and be obedient ..." The children recited the classics seriously, which was very touching. In a trance, people's thoughts seemed to be brought to the era of taking books with Esau to cope with progress and with courtesy and joy.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When the children's parents came to welcome their children home for dinner, the children who didn't want to go home used various methods and tricks. Some dragged their parents, some shouted at them, and some even protested and rolled on the ground. At that moment, the humility, comity and obedience contained in "Don't curse your elders, don't look at your ability, Lu Yu is long, bow down quickly, be silent for a long time, retreat from the ceremony and stand upright" formed a cruel contrast with the real scene. At that moment, it is inevitable to wonder: countless children are studying Chinese studies, but how many children really understand the profound connotation of being a man in traditional Chinese studies.

Open the search engine and enter "Children's Chinese Studies". There are countless advertisements for enrolling students in various holiday Chinese studies classes. Many training institutions have taken a fancy to the huge business opportunities contained in the upsurge of Chinese studies and opened various related training courses, which have dazzled many parents. Ms. Li, who lives in Haidian District, Beijing, said: "Many people around me have enrolled their children in Chinese studies training classes and learned the three-character classics and disciples' rules. Although I can't really explain the meaning of Chinese studies classes to my children, I always feel that I should report one. "

Ms. Li's mentality represents the mentality of many parents. "In addition to the traditional Chinese studies courses, we also offer Tai Chi, calligraphy and painting, tea ceremony and etiquette courses." The teacher in charge of a training institution in Beijing said, "The winter vacation course cost 3,000 yuan, and a seven-day course was designed for children, including a half-day Chinese learning experience course for parents. It's only been a few days since I signed up, and it's full.

In this regard, some experts said that people's emphasis on Chinese studies reflects the society's emphasis on traditional culture. Calling for the return of traditional culture is a good thing. However, some training institutions are keen on speculating traditional culture, offering a variety of low-quality Chinese learning experience courses, and even making money under the banner of traditional culture, which leads to the spread of traditional culture. At present, while traditional culture is "hot", there is also the problem of "virtual fire flourishing".

Li Shan, a professor at Beijing Normal University who has been engaged in traditional culture research for many years, said, "Nowadays, many so-called mentors and friends of commercial Chinese studies, and some children's Chinese studies only teach their children superficial knowledge, such as imitating various ancient etiquette, but don't really teach their children the essence of Chinese studies. Education is a science. It would be ridiculous to just learn some ancient etiquette. I advocate teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, inheriting traditions and paying attention to children's personality. "

Professor Lu Yulin, deputy dean of China Youth University for Politics, said: "The current craze for Chinese studies is indeed a virtual fire." . "I am very opposed to parents forcing their children to recite traditional cultural books such as San Zi Jing, Di Zi Gui and The Analects of Confucius, but they don't really understand the meaning. Instead of letting children memorize, it is better to let children really understand the meaning and cultivate their interest in traditional culture. "
