There is a view that language is just words. But this view is too narrow. He is just a record of language, a part of the language system of knowledge. If we put it this way, does it mean that we have studied Chinese characters for twelve years after studying Chinese for twelve years? I'm afraid this will make generosity laugh.
There is also a saying that it expands the extension of language. That is to say, all written things are classified as Chinese, including: contracts, documents, notes and even blackboard newspapers can be called articles and called Chinese. You must know that there are articles in all textbooks. Could it be that mathematics, physics, history, and biology are all Chinese and can be included in Chinese textbooks?
Obviously, the above two explanations are absurd.
Historically, the "Four Books and Five Classics" were used as private school textbooks only because of their particularity. As an ethics reader, a political reader, and a moral reader. And its literary connotation has been castrated or covered up. Eight-legged essays for seeking official posts require learning the tone and thoughts of the saints, but there is no requirement to learn the culture in the books.
Chinese - this course has continued since the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty until now. There are inevitably some detours, but now people should have a new understanding of Chinese.
In the Chinese curriculum standards, it is proposed to "absorb advanced human culture". The curriculum standards also stipulate the classics that middle school students must read. As a literary classic at home and abroad, it contains the essence of the humanistic spirit in the history of human development and creation over thousands of years. Reading classics is undoubtedly your own edification and nourishment. As advanced countries in education, Western countries attach great importance to the teaching of mother tongue culture in mother tongue teaching. This should be what we should learn from. In our Chinese teaching, cultural education should be far more than language education. Only in this way can students' literary literacy be improved, and the improvement of literary literacy is a very important aspect of Chinese teaching. .
Nowadays, many Chinese teachers require students to study "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs"... These Chinese teachers lead students into the world of Chinese classical culture. The purpose is to allow students to learn Chinese culture while learning Chinese. A famous British expert on the history of science pointed out: The Chinese culture, Chinese traditions, and the spiritual temperament of Chinese society that are preserved today have made very important contributions to guiding the human world in the future. For us, when learning the language in Chinese language classes, we must not forget the study of Chinese culture.
Indeed, learning Chinese is learning a culture. To educate people is essentially human culture and nationalization. The cultivation of language and culture is the soul of Chinese education. Without the soul, language is nothing but an empty shell. To learn the language of the motherland, one must know how to speak and cultivate one's moral integrity, study and cultivate one's moral character, and build a perfect personality. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has created a civilization that has attracted worldwide attention with the spirit of "continuous self-improvement" and "morality". Learning Chinese is about shaping and cultivating students’ patriotism and national feelings. In addition, we must also learn the national value orientation of advocating morality and valuing justice. A self-improvement and pragmatic attitude towards life, a willingness to do good, and courage to do what is right... inherit Chinese culture through the language.
Chinese is a broad and profound subject, which requires an interest in learning and good study habits. Some people find it difficult to learn Chinese. I think it is mainly because they do not master the correct methods and do not have a golden key to open the door of Chinese.
To learn Chinese well, we must pay attention to cultivating learning interest, developing good learning habits, accumulating learning methods, enhancing learning ability, etc. I hope that after you finish reading this "bad article", it can pave the way for your Chinese language and add bricks and tiles to your Chinese language building.
Being interested in Chinese language learning will lay the solid foundation for your Chinese language learning. No matter what you do, interest is the most important. Two thousand years ago, the "literary sage" Confucius once said, "Those who know are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy." This sentence just shows that "good" and "happiness" can be said to be spiritual pillars for a person's pursuit of something. My friend, if you are not interested in Chinese for the time being, it doesn't matter. You can start from "0" start.
For those who have poor language skills, change the current situation and make things better for those who have good language skills.
