In ancient China, "Sinology" refers to national schools, which are equivalent to "imperial academy" and "Metaphysical Academy". During Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty, Li Bo studied in Bailudong, Lushan Mountain. When he arrived in Nantang, he built a learning museum at the original site to teach students, and named it "Lushan Guo Xue". In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed "Bailudong Academy". At this time, "Chinese studies" is actually a place to collect books and give lectures.
The meaning of "Sinology" today refers to the ideological system that expresses the traditional social values and moral ethics of the Chinese nation with China's traditional cultural classics as the carrier.
The significance of learning Chinese studies;
1, shaping a harmonious life.
The Chinese nation is a nation that advocates harmony. Our ancestors believed that a complete life is harmonious, including harmony with oneself, family, society, nature, philosophy and many other aspects. Such a harmonious thought is contained in various classic works. Reading these works by children will greatly promote the shaping of a harmonious life.
2. Lay a deep cultural foundation.
Sinology is a culture that has been precipitated by time, and what can stand the precipitation of time is the real classic. Reading aloud can leave a deep cultural imprint on children's memory.
3. Develop writing ability.
Two cultural movements in the 20th century dealt a devastating blow to traditional culture. However, aren't some modern cultural leaders all educated by tradition? It is as easy for children to read classical Chinese and then write vernacular Chinese as it is for people who have learned Bel Canto to sing pop songs.
4. Cultivate the level of speaking.
The essence of traditional education in China is reading aloud. In ancient private schools, the children memorized the articles first, and then the old man gave a series of lectures. This kind of reading plays an extremely important role in cultivating one's spoken English.
