[Reprint] Why do you want to study geography?
1. Learning geography is the need to improve personal knowledge structure and cultivate humanistic spirit. I'm not saying that having geographical knowledge must have humanistic spirit, and geography is in danger of marginalization, which is very worrying. Although economic development is important, the cultivation of humanistic spirit is equally important. We all know that nouveau riche are very despised, even though they are rich. It takes three generations to train a noble, which is a famous saying. The same is true for a country, and economic wealth alone cannot guarantee recognition in the international community. I agree that the main leaders in our country are excellent now. You can see from the school where they graduated and their experience. But there is a phenomenon that I don't know if you have noticed. They basically graduated from science and engineering. We know that in the United States, university presidents are generally in the department of geography or history, while in China, university presidents are generally in the department of science and engineering. Probably people who graduate from science and engineering are generally more rigorous, while liberal arts are more active. So I think it is difficult for our leaders to make big mistakes, and it is hard to say whether they have pioneering spirit. Everyone likes to read the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Through Luo Guanzhong, we can see a three-dimensional picture of war. Without adequate geographical literacy, Mr. Luo Guanzhong's novels would not be so attractive. On the question of Taiwan Province, I certainly hope to see national reunification. But we have many mainlanders who threaten to blow up Taiwan Province at every turn. Is this conducive to national reunification? If we consider that the width of the Taiwan Province Strait is at least 13 kilometers, and if we take back the force, we will need great naval and air force advantages, while China's naval and air force strength is weak, so reunification is hard to talk about and requires great wisdom. Looking at the three major battles, there are several details, which one is not the conclusion after looking at the map, so it can be said that Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Su Yu and Deng Xiaoping are all excellent geographers. 2. Learning geography is necessary for the sustainable development of society and the cultivation of qualified world citizens. In today's globalization, we should have a global geographical concept. The geographical awareness of China people is worrying, and many of our views and analyses of the world are very problematic. For example, the earth can accommodate 1 billion people, and now there are 7 billion people, which is close to the limit of the earth's carrying capacity. How to solve the increasingly serious global population problem and how to solve fewer and fewer mineral and energy problems? How to solve the world environmental problems? How to completely solve China's environmental problems? Many people in China don't know where to start, and they are indifferent to it, including many TV programs that only pay attention to entertainment and ignore the increasingly serious environmental problems. Therefore, studying geography is by no means dispensable. Sustainable development is very important for our socialist construction today, especially today's impetuous and crazy. 3. Learning geography is to meet the needs of life. In ancient times, people often used the phrase "knowing astronomy above and geography below" to describe a person with profound knowledge. It can be seen that learning geography well is enough to fully show your knowledge in front of others. Zhuge Liang, a well-known geographical genius, fully applied geographical knowledge to the military and created an eternal story. A straw boat borrows an arrow and gets 1, good arrows without blowing off dust. Burning red cliff, a fire destroyed Cao Cao's ambition to unify the whole country, and burned out the Shu and Han dynasties in which the three countries stood in the balance. He made full use of geographical knowledge to become a geography; The northern expedition of the Shu army wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, and Sima Yi was trapped by fire, trying to burn down the foundation of Cao Wei. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain destroyed the hope of the Shu army and his confidence. He failed to calculate the heavy rain after thousands of calculations, which is a defeat and geography. A generation of demon talents, success is also geographical, defeat is also geographical, and success is disappointing, which makes people feel sad and makes future generations admire and feel sad. It is also important to learn geography well in our daily life, because the current geography syllabus is all basic and common sense knowledge. Different from tedious chemical experiments and bitter physical formulas, geography is closely related to our daily life. In people's daily communication and discussion, most topics are also related to geography, so it is very important to learn geography well. Geography learning must learn to read maps. I often emphasize in class that parents should also encourage their children to observe and understand maps frequently, such as buying a world atlas for their children and finding important countries on the map. First of all, geography learning must learn to read maps. I often emphasize in class that parents should also encourage their children to observe and understand maps frequently, such as buying a world atlas for their children and finding important countries on the map. Memory should be combined with the map in the textbook and the introduction of the map. Remembering a good map is an important way to learn geography well, and you can remember images according to the map. Take world geography as an example: if you have a map in your mind, you should have a three-dimensional image in your mind for easy memory. Secondly, you can use homophones to remember. For example, the code name of East longitude is E, but some students can't remember it. When I mentioned China Mobile, I remembered it all at once. Again, I helped students to sort out the knowledge structure, which was biased towards students' memory. Secondly, there is a saying that the stupid bird flies first, which means that you have to walk in front of others to master the initiative. Besides, I believe that you must not be stupid. So it is very important to preview before class. Finally, it is also the most important point, that is, to work hard. If you want to learn any knowledge well, you can't do it without hard work, and geography is the same. In the process of learning, you should read more. You don't have to memorize, you want to read more, think more, ask more questions, truly understand what is said in the book, and turn the book knowledge into your own things. You can find a good classmate to study with and ask questions to each other, so that progress will be rapid. I believe that every classmate can learn geography.
