China's classical poems have beautiful artistic conception, concise language, vivid images and rich feelings. It is a wonderful flower in the garden of literature, which has nurtured generations of literati. A good poem can enhance people's knowledge, cultivate people's thoughts, cultivate people's temperament, purify people's mood and improve people's cultural accomplishment. "Chinese Curriculum Standard" clearly points out: "Middle school students should recite a certain number of excellent ancient poems, and consciously improve their appreciation taste and aesthetic taste in the process of accumulation, perception and application." Therefore, it is necessary for students to understand, appreciate and evaluate classical poetry in middle school. "If you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say." China has a tradition of attaching importance to poetry teaching since ancient times. The requirement of middle school Chinese for poetry teaching is that students can read and appreciate poetry and have certain poetry appreciation ability. Letting students learn to read and appreciate poetry naturally becomes an important part of Chinese teaching. However, the current situation of classical poetry in junior middle school Chinese teaching is worrying.
