First of all, the "general theory" of ancient Chinese involves philology, Gu Xun, phonology and many other contents, as well as linguistic knowledge such as style and rhetoric, as well as rich cultural knowledge such as ancient surnames, horses and chariots, official positions, music, astronomy and calendars. The knowledge of philology, including the structure of Chinese characters, ancient and modern characters, variant characters and traditional characters, reveals the close relationship between Chinese characters and China culture. Chinese characters are written in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, seal script (big seal script, small seal script), official script, regular script, cursive script, running script and so on. For students, it is the most direct way to learn about China traditional culture from Chinese characters. The systematic study of Chinese characters in the history of China began with "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" written by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be said that the Chinese characters themselves and Xu Shen's process of explaining the meaning of words according to the physical structure contain rich ancient traditional cultural information. Shuo Wen Jie Zi shows us the content of traditional culture through the explanation of Chinese characters, which Mr. Lu Zongda summarized into four main aspects, namely, ancient social production, ancient science, ancient medicine and social system, covering a wide range. When students learn these contents, they have not only learned them as ancient knowledge of China, but also observed all aspects of traditional culture, and their knowledge space has expanded a lot.
Secondly, Classic historical works such as Zuo Zhuan, Warring States Policy, Historical Records, Hanshu, as well as outstanding literary works such as The Book of Songs, Li Sao, Prose of Tang and Song Dynasties, Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, and philosophical works (especially orthodox Confucian works) contended by a hundred schools of thought, are all the essence of China's traditional culture. As for Confucian moral concepts, they can be found everywhere in the texts of ancient textbooks in China. Some reflect personal accomplishment, such as The Analects of Confucius, which says to Ceng Zi: "I save three times a day: Are you unfaithful to others?" Don't believe in making friends? Can't you learn? "This shows that the ancients attached great importance to personal cultivation. As the teaching content of ancient Chinese, it is bound to make students receive subtle education through learning; Some reflect the relationship between teaching and learning, such as "Book of Rites": "After learning, we know that it is insufficient, and after teaching, we know that it is difficult. If you don't know enough, you can give up on yourself. If you are sleepy, you can be self-reliant. "This view is also an irrefutable truth until now; There is also a reflection of personal responsibility to society, The Analects: "Birds and beasts can't be in the same group. I am not an outsider. Who is with me?" "This is what Confucius said in the face of the hermit's sarcastic sigh, which means that individuals have certain responsibilities to society, and people can't escape reality. In addition, the textbook is Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower" in the Northern Song Dynasty, in which the famous saying: "The world is the best, and then the world is happy. "It embodies the traditional moral concept of the ancients, that is, the heart is the world, and the world is worried first, and the world is happy afterwards. These are the excellent qualities of the ancients and the essence of traditional culture. Through the teaching of ancient Chinese, students can be cultivated and the excellent traditional culture can be inherited.
Finally, there are some contents about ancient surnames, costumes, chariots and horses, palaces and astronomy in ancient Chinese, which give students more space to learn traditional culture. For example, by studying Ancient Surnames and Names, we know that the ancients were famous for their characters, so they called others' words to show their respect. We know that the ancients could also have "numbers". For example, Tao Yuanming called himself "Mr. After the death of the ancients, there was a secret posthumous title, and the posthumous title of Yi often depended on this person's performance before his life. For example, Tao Yuanming's nickname "Mr. Jingjie" is obviously derived from his trip to noble people. By studying the astronomical calendar, we can understand that the ancients were good at corresponding the twelve laws of music to December of a year, and then look at Tao Yuanming's self-sacrifice. "In those days, there was only Ding Mao, and there was no shooting in the law." We know that "there was no shooting in the law" actually refers to September, which is the name of the musical law to indicate the time sequence, because "no shooting" is just the opposite of the autumn season. The process of students learning these contents is the process of accepting and inheriting traditional culture.
