At the same time, this way of thinking has the characteristics of integrity and visualization in intellectual activities. These two ways of thinking are based on Chinese characters, which affect learners' way of thinking through their study of Chinese characters, and then promote their intellectual development and changes. Taking thinking in images as an example, there are many pictographic characters in Chinese characters, such as "elephant", "horse", "cow" and "sheep", but the images of "elephant" and "horse" are taken from the side, and the images of "cow" and "sheep" are taken from the front, but the angle of cow is bent upward and the angle of "sheep" is bent downward.
Taking holistic thinking as an example, many Chinese characters reflect the holistic thinking of the ancients in the relationship between form and meaning. For example, Oracle Bone Inscriptions's word "head" looks like a human head, and its original meaning is also a human head. Later used to refer to the top of the handle of an object, the "ear" looks like a human ear, originally meaning a human ear. Later used to refer to something attached to both sides of an object for easy lifting. The "Tian" in ancient Chinese characters was originally a human figure with a prominent head. Its original meaning refers to the human head, and later used to refer to the sky above the ground and the gods. From the relationship between the original meaning of these words and the post-uprising, we can appreciate the holistic thinking mode of the ancients. This way of thinking also promotes the development of learners' intelligence.
As a written communication tool, Chinese characters can promote intellectual development. People think through language, and words are the writing symbols of language, which determines the unusual relationship between thinking and words.
Specifically, for those who master Chinese characters and can communicate with them frequently, their psychological consciousness cannot be directly influenced by the addition of characters in communicative thinking activities; Some people have studied and tested the reaction and working state of the human brain in the process of word cognition, and found that there is an obvious division of labor between the left and right parts of the human brain. The function of the left brain is serial and analytical, while the function of the right brain is just the opposite, comprehensive and simultaneous. When people recognize ordinary pinyin characters, the functional parts in the brain tend to the left brain, so pinyin characters, which account for the vast majority of the world's characters, belong to "single brain characters"; However, when people know Chinese characters, they use both the left brain and the right brain, so Chinese characters become a very special "complicated brain text". According to this feature of Chinese character cognition, western medical workers invented a strange treatment for alexia. The specific method is that there will be written expressions about the use of English and Chinese characters, so that dyslexia patients can read Chinese characters. In this kind of learning, the lost English reading ability will naturally be restored.
Take writing for example. First of all, writing can improve students' observation ability. There are thousands of Chinese characters, and there are as many images as there are characters, providing ever-changing videos for observation. There are various forms of observation, including static demonstration observation when reading posts, dynamic demonstration observation when watching others write, personal experience observation of their own writing actions and careful observation after writing. The cognition of character observation is multidimensional, including shape perception, space perception, orientation perception and overall perception. Such observation is of great benefit to improving students' intelligence.
Secondly, delicate and complicated writing actions help to develop intelligence. Writing Chinese characters is a task completed by both hands and brain. This delicate, changeable and rhythmic writing action has a high value of cultivating intelligence. From the sitting posture of writing, the posture of holding a pen to the use of a pen on the wrist, as well as some sign language and body language prompting emotional activities, all have positive psychological effects. The latest research results of sports physiology and psychology show that the richer the response information sent by muscles to the brain, the higher the effective coefficient of brain intelligence, the more positive people's mental state and the clearer and deeper their thinking. It can be seen that writing is very meaningful for optimizing brain intelligence.
Thirdly, calligraphy appreciation is also an important link to activate and develop psychological factors in the process of writing teaching. Calligraphy works can stimulate aesthetic psychological activities such as perception, emotion, imagination and epiphany almost at the same time, so that students' spirit can be purified and sublimated.
Judging from the shaping of Chinese character culture, crossword puzzles, couplets and Chinese character design can promote the intellectual development of learners. Because of its unique physical characteristics, Chinese characters have produced many "cultural products", and the use of these "cultural products" will also promote the intellectual development of learners. For example, crossword puzzles are not only a word game, but also conducive to the cultivation of learners' thinking in images; Couplets are the product of the unity of opposites in thinking, and often pairing couplets can promote the development of learners' observation and analogy association; Chinese character design is conducive to cultivating learners' creative thinking, and so on. All these show that Chinese character culture learning is an effective way of intellectual development and intellectual education.
