If you want to talk about the literary enlightenment of Chinese people, of course you have to start with Tang poetry.
Whose erudition does not start with "geese, goose, goose, songs of songs towards the sky"?
Let’s talk about the role of learning Tang poetry first.
Learning Tang poetry can exercise children's memory ,
can lay the foundation for children to learn Chinese in the future,
can enable children to learn a lot of historical knowledge,
can also enable children to be subtly influenced by excellent traditional culture.
In short, whether it is IQ or EQ cultivation, learning Tang poetry is a simple and easy-to-use and low-cost method.
For children, it is very important to learn Tang poetry to achieve these things:
1. Choosing a good set of (books) is the basics
There are many books on the market that learn Tang poetry from young children, and most of them are named " Three Hundred Tang Poems ". It is very important to choose an auxiliary book suitable for children to read and recite.
There are two most important points here: First, try to choose genuine versions to avoid confusion among children due to the quality of writing and printing. Second, try to choose thinner and lighter reading books that include multiple volumes, and do not choose thick bindings. This is because you have to read and recite it repeatedly. The children are too young and it is very inconvenient to read thick books, which may also cause the books to scatter and damage prematurely.
2. Understanding the general idea and background of poetry is the premise
Many parents believe that their children are simple memories and do not understand the content and meaning of poetry. This is not the case.
Children also have certain life scene accumulation. Although some scenes depicted in Tang poetry may not understand, this does not prevent the children from capturing some information from other auxiliary prompts, which helps to understand the content of Tang poetry.
It is recommended that before the child recites a Tang poem, parents can briefly explain to the child the life of the author of the Tang poem, the background of the poetry creation, the emotions the author wants to express. Or, find a 10-30-minute explanation video or animation online that is suitable for children to watch, so that children can have a rough understanding of the content and the emotions they want to express before memorizing.
3. Combining learning Tang poetry with learning history is better
In fact, many Tang poetry is condensed history. The life of a poet is history, and the creation background of poetry is history. Some Tang poetry itself tells history, such as Du Fu 's "Wenjian Official Army Receives Henan Hebei " and " Eight Formation Map ", Luo Binwang 's "Yi Shui Farewell", Du Mu 's "Red Cliff", Mrs. Huarui's "Poems on the Demise of the Country", Chapter Jie 's "Book Burning Pit", etc. Tang poetry themselves tells famous historical events. Combining learning ancient poems with learning history can undoubtedly stimulate children's strong interest.
4. Maintaining love, reciting repeatedly, and strengthening memory is the key
Poems like " Song of Goose ", " Hoe ", and "Ying Liu" Many people can recite poems like "" when they were young, and then they can remember them for a lifetime. Now many people in their fifties and sixties can recite them openly when they recite them, and it seems that they have never forgotten them for decades.
This is because, firstly, when I was young, I had a great interest in catchy poems and was particularly impressed by them. In addition, the learning tasks in the lower grades of primary schools were not heavy, and there were not many extracurricular reading materials. Most of the students who had to recite the textbooks repeatedly memorized and recited them, and remembered them very carefully.
Of course, another point is also very important. Compared with the childish, empty and superficiality of some nursery rhymes, Tang poetry is not only catchy and beautiful in language, but also has a certain consistency with real life.
Repetition is the best secret to memory. For memorizing Tang poetry, just one is far from enough. Generally, it takes dozens of times to strengthen memory to truly remember it, gradually internalize it into your own things, and drive the child to "be self-bright with poetry and writing" and become a part of the child's spirit.
