Zhan Zhiyu: Rethinking the education of reading classics: there is no solution to irrigation of cows as well as ducks.
In recent years, the education of reading classics has attracted much attention on both sides of the strait. Ancient classics have their cultural value and learning value, but if the wrong educational methods are adopted, it will only waste children's precious time.

Phonetic learning is no longer just memorizing! Wen Meiyu's online course, 10 class, easy to learn ㄅㄆㄇ> & gt;; I often walk and chat with students behind Chengda. Most of them grew up in cities and didn't know much about flowers, trees, animals, insects and fish along the way. One day, I pointed to a pile of bamboo and asked my students, "Do you know what kind of plant this is? He observed it and said carefully, "Sugarcane! 」

"This is bamboo. Have you ever eaten green bamboo shoots? 」

"Let's eat! Where are the bamboo shoots? 」

"It's out of date. Look, there is a bamboo shoot over there. It's turning into bamboo. 」

"ah! It turns out that this is the meaning of the Tang poem "Hsinchu becomes a hall bamboo" that I recited in those days. 」

Many people recited some poems and articles when they were young. If we don't have any semantic understanding when reciting, but only remember empty sound symbols, then it is absolutely impossible for us to ruminate automatically or understand naturally when we grow up, unless we happen to have a chance to make up for our study.

Wang Caigui, chairman of the Global Reading Education Foundation, invented a set of "spoon-feeding theory" to improve the traditional "spoon-feeding theory" which was widely criticized. He believes that children who recite a lot of classics will "ruminate" when they grow up and naturally understand (note 1). However, from the perspective of philosophy of science and cognitive psychology, we will find that it is very difficult and painful for children to be forced to recite meaningless long speeches without understanding them. Even if you learn by rote, you will soon forget that there will be very few people who will be "ruminated" when they grow up in the future.

If teachers can help children understand the meaning of the text now, instead of forcing them to wait for "rumination" in the future, it should enhance the fun and efficiency of children's recitation. As long as children master some meanings (including images), when they grow up, they will come into contact with similar meanings in some environments, occasions or texts, and it will be easier to reorganize, adjust or make up for the meanings of the words they have recited at the beginning.
