In the long-term teaching practice, the author guides students to read texts, quote classics and consult dictionaries, which is helpful to improve students' interest in learning classical Chinese.
First, collect valuable classical Chinese texts, broaden the scope of reading, and improve the interest in reading classical Chinese.
"A book is read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident". Classical Chinese teaching without reading is a backwater, and teaching without personality display and self-expression will force students to lose interest in learning. Reading can be divided into intensive reading and extensive reading. Textbooks are masterpieces of famous artists. These texts have lofty ideas, brilliant literary talents, unique ideas and value-oriented functions, which play a positive role in improving students' ideological realm and cultivating their writing ability. Only by repeated reading and in-depth analysis can we gradually get a glimpse of the hall. But at the same time, we should also realize that the text in the textbook is only a benchmark, which implies the learning direction and examination scope of classical Chinese. To improve students' classical Chinese level, it is far from enough to read the texts in textbooks intensively, and extensive reading is essential. Therefore, teachers should extensively collect, select and compile interesting and enlightening classical Chinese materials related to textbooks, such as collecting biographies or anecdotes of famous poets in Tang and Song Dynasties that students are familiar with, and the texts should try their best to contain content words, function words and commonly used basic sentence patterns required by the syllabus. As we all know, Mr. Wu's Adventures was once a classical Chinese favored by many teachers; Students can also be recommended to read short classical Chinese works such as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and Reading Notes from Wei Caotang. You can also choose familiar characters and their stories to guide students to understand the words and sentence patterns in the text according to the stories. For example, students are familiar with the story of Li Bai's iron pestle grinding into a needle, but there are still obstacles in reading the text in classical Chinese format. In a lot of reading, students will be familiar with common vocabulary sentences, and their ability to understand and express reading will be improved accordingly. With the continuous cultivation of interest, their self-confidence in learning ancient Chinese will be gradually established. Especially, if students often read biographies of famous people and are familiar with their life experiences, they will not only reduce common sense mistakes like Qu Yuan in Shang Dynasty and Sima Qian in Tang Dynasty, but also lay a foundation for poetry appreciation.
Second, "applying what you have learned" will better stimulate interest.
Teachers should make students understand that learning classical Chinese is not only for the sake of 19 in the college entrance examination, but also conducive to the accumulation of composition materials, the enlightenment of ideas and the improvement of their own literacy.
Students are used to using the ancients as endorsements in their writing, and they like to quote examples of sages. However, due to the limitation of reading, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Kong Rong, Sima Qian, Gou Jian, etc. And because of the lack of quotation, it is often unconvincing. Therefore, teachers should consciously explain the anecdotes of sages in teaching, so that students can learn from the past and encourage them to consciously read, collect and accumulate valuable materials. For example, in terms of self-discipline, Xu Heng's "pear has no owner, my heart has a owner", and in terms of children's education, Liu Xie's "meat, wealth of the monarch, do whatever you want, and study hard; My meat is not your food. " In terms of supporting parents, Confucius's "color is difficult, something happens, and disciples take care of it;" There is wine and food, sir. Have you ever thought that this is filial piety? " "Today's filial piety, that can be raised. As for cattle and horses, it is disrespectful. Why not? "Wait, if you can accurately quote the sages in your writing, it will definitely make the article more convincing and literary. Accordingly, the process of quoting sage's speech is bound to be accompanied by the continuous improvement of interest in classical Chinese.
At a deeper level, the ultimate goal of learning classical Chinese is actually to learn the wisdom of the sages it carries. Reading history for three thousand years is nothing more than fame and fortune. No matter how the society develops, people's spiritual desires and ideological growth are full of similarities. People in modern society are faced with many contradictions such as survival pressure, so they can seek advice from tradition, draw nutrition from tradition and interpret the meaning of living. In ideological shaping, middle school students have the consciousness of self-improvement regardless of their age or cognition. For example, Xiang Yu's heroism, Qu Yuan's loyalty and Gou Jian's forbearance in Historical Records may all become mirrors for students, prompting them to consciously standardize their personality cultivation. It can be said that reading literary and historical classics is the embodiment of taste, self-restraint and maturity, but the interest can not be separated from the deliberate guidance and edification of early teachers.
Third, urging students to consult the dictionary often can also improve their interest in learning classical Chinese.
Ancient Chinese Dictionary is a necessary reference book for learning classical Chinese. Looking up the dictionary often reflects a student's ability to solve problems independently, as well as his self-study ability and interest in classical Chinese. In teaching, the author found that some students rely on the teacher's oral transcript in the accumulation of real words and function words, and rarely take the initiative to look up the dictionary. Some students can't even use the ancient Chinese dictionary. I once imagined that if every student was given an ancient Chinese dictionary in the college entrance examination, would their translation of classical Chinese get full marks? There are about 5,000 words in Historical Records, but 1300 words with the highest frequency, covering 95% of the whole book. The Dictionary of Common Words in Ancient Chinese contains 6,400 words, of which about 2,000 are the most commonly used. Mr. Jiang once said: "If you master the meaning of 2,000 words, not only middle school students can't do it, but I can't do it ..." Therefore, in normal teaching, teachers should try to leave students time to look up dictionaries independently, and develop the habit of looking up reference books frequently, so that they can master the law of word meaning and reach the degree of guessing. At the same time, the improvement of self-solving ability will inevitably lead to the enhancement of self-confidence and interest in classical Chinese, and ultimately help students to read traditional classics sustainably and realize their long-term development.
To sum up, classical Chinese is like a key to China's classical wisdom. Efforts to stimulate the interest in learning classical Chinese can not only improve the reading level of classical Chinese and meet the utilitarian needs, but also help students learn from the traditional wisdom of the Chinese nation, enhance their own literacy and national self-confidence, and promote the better inheritance of Chinese traditional culture.
