What do old people learn at school?
Abstract: It is not surprising that the elderly need and want to study, because they should try their best to keep interest and enjoy life, and they often have time to do so. The university for the aged is a classroom for the "empty nest" elderly to update their knowledge, a place for keeping fit and nourishing their hearts, a garden for happy entertainment, a platform for making friends and a base for intellectual development. With the increase of the elderly population in China, universities for the elderly rose in many places in China in 1980s. So, which universities for the aged are there? What should senior college students learn? Let's have a look! What is education for the aged? Education for the elderly is an educational activity for the elderly to continue learning. It is an inseparable part of the whole education. Education for the aged is neither vocational preparation nor vocational training. It is different from general education, vocational education and professional continuing education, but a special education based on the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly. Its purpose is to make the elderly increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons, enrich their lives and strengthen their physique. The object of education for the aged is the aged at all levels.

The significance of education for the elderly is 1, which is conducive to the continued socialization of the elderly and enables them to adapt to retirement and new social roles more smoothly;

2, increase cultural knowledge, so that the elderly who have not received formal education have the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge, so that the cultural knowledge of the elderly who have received formal education can be updated;

3, master new technologies and skills, so that people who are healthy and have the desire to re-employment can obtain the ability and conditions for re-employment;

4. Enrich leisure life and make the old people's life in their later years more substantial and meaningful.

5. It is conducive to building a learning society and improving the cultural quality of the whole nation.

6. Strengthen the accumulation of human capital and promote social and economic growth.

7. Improving the social participation rate of the elderly is conducive to the construction of a harmonious society.

What good calligraphy and painting art to learn in the university for the aged can adjust interest and make people feel comfortable. Calligraphy and painting is a noble hobby and interest. They all have the beauty of images, scenes and pen-end ink, which can be appreciated and enjoyed. It can cultivate people's feelings and make people's amateur life and old age life more realistic and meaningful.

Musical Instruments Middle-aged and elderly people can learn more plucked instruments, such as the piano and accordion in western instruments, and the traditional erhu and pipa in China. It is found that practicing plucked instruments can help the elderly to achieve physical coordination and reduce the chances of wrestling in life. Take erhu as an example. When playing the erhu, the left and right hands are light, heavy, slow and urgent, just right. Fingers are closely related to human heart and brain nerves. Flexible finger movement can promote the blood circulation of human finger peripheral nerves, reduce the pressure of heart reflux and blood supply, and at the same time, due to the harmonious grasp of breathing and music rhythm, the heart function has also been well oxygenated. Ancient medical books recorded: "Spleen is happy, silk and bamboo only smell its sound, and spleen can be ground." It can be seen that the spleen and stomach also like listening to music. Soft erhu and other music can effectively promote the secretion of digestive glands and help digestion. In addition, this plucked instrument has a short entry time, low requirements for practitioners' music theory and is relatively easy to learn. Middle-aged and elderly people learn musical instruments mainly to increase their interest and enrich their later life, and they don't require high speed in practice. Flute playing instruments are not suitable for the elderly. They need breath to cause vibration through flutes, etc., which will "hurt the gas" for a long time and endanger the health of the elderly. Moreover, this kind of musical instrument has a high demand for breath, and it needs to follow the physiological law of breathing and master the correct playing method, so it is not suitable for the elderly. If you really want to learn, the cucurbit flute is good, which requires relatively little breath in all wind instruments, and the fingering is easy to master and master. Generally, I can learn several songs a month. You don't need much knowledge of music theory to play cucurbit flute with simple music scores.

Scientific cooking and reasonable healthy eating habits are important aspects of health care, which can make the body grow healthily; Bad eating habits will lead to normal physiological dysfunction and infection. On the contrary, a proper diet will have a therapeutic effect on diseases and help the human body to restore health. In today's society, healthy eating has become a compulsory course for middle-aged and elderly people.

Dance (1) delays aging: slows down the aging speed. As the saying goes, people get old first, and dancing is a good leg exercise. People who often dance walk lightly, so some people say that dancers don't like aging.

(2) Figure: Dancers are getting more and more beautiful, and people who dance often will definitely not get fat. As long as the essentials are correct, dancing can reshape the body of the elderly. Dancers are well dressed, and no one will laugh at how beautiful makeup they put on the dance floor. After a long time, they will bring this habit into their daily life, so the old people dancing are young and beautiful.

(3) Establishing interpersonal relationships: Old people can establish good new interpersonal relationships by dancing, and gradually dilute the original interpersonal relationships to establish new interpersonal relationships. The dance floor has no grade, no grade, no original identity, no region, no purchasing.
