Plum blossom is the national flower of China. She is proud of snow and has a noble character. Throughout the ages, people have regarded her as an ideal sustenance. Xie Fangde, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, famously said, "When the world is lonely, how many plum blossoms will be born in Shan Yu?" Refers to the pursuit of a great man.
I was born in a family of three generations of overseas Chinese. Chen Huacheng, the ancestor general, was a famous patriotic general and national hero in the modern history of China (I am the fifth grandson of China). Mr. Hong Jinghu, a grandfather who has read a lot of poems and books, is a famous patriotic overseas Chinese in Singapore and has made many contributions to the anti-Japanese cause of the motherland and the educational construction in his hometown. His father, Mr. Chen Wenjing, is quite famous in Southeast Asian literary circles. He had contacts with writers Yu Dafu and Gao who lived in Singapore at that time, as well as overseas Chinese leaders Hong Sisi and Zhang Chukun in the press. When I was a child, the first word my mother taught me was the word "China" written in my hand. The first poem my grandfather taught me was "There is such bright light at the foot of my bed. Is there frost already?"? Looking up, I found that it was moonlight and sank again, and I suddenly remembered Li Bai, Home! The words and deeds of my predecessors and the words and deeds of my parents and tutors have planted the seeds of homesickness and patriotism in my heart.
"Plum Blossom Soul" is a portrayal of my family's real life, and it is the aspiration of overseas children to shed tears. Grandfather loved plum blossoms all his life. He said that plum blossom is the national flower of China, and it has the most backbone. No matter the frost deceives the snow, it will always be fragrant, just like the people with lofty ideals in China for centuries. They can't crush their noble backbone after suffering. Zeng Zeng's grandfather, a famous man in the late Qing Dynasty, painted Mo Mei, which is regarded as a treasure by the old people, and no one can move it at ordinary times. On the eve of my youth, I returned home from overseas, and my grandfather gave me the precious Mo Mei, saying, "Yinger, our roots are in China. I'll take you back. I hope you can learn something and serve your country; I hope that no matter what situation you are in. They must have the nature of plum blossoms. "
After receiving higher education in the motherland, I unfortunately caught up with the ten-year catastrophe. I was sent to Taihang Mountain from Xiamen Island on the coast of the East China Sea and worked as a teacher and farmer for six years. I have experienced the hardships of politics and life. Overseas relatives and friends have repeatedly advised me to go abroad, thinking that it is useless to learn, so why be too persistent. However, grandpa's Mo Mei and grandpa's earnest instruction on plum blossom character accompanied me through the arduous life journey of my youth and accompanied my mother in the most dangerous years of my motherland!
In the early 1980s, the motherland was reborn. Together with all the children of Qian Qian, I ushered in the second spring of my life. Like Silkworm and Du Fu, I worked very hard to create. I was awarded the first national "Top Ten Overseas Chinese", national advanced returned overseas Chinese intellectuals, national outstanding journalists, and experts with outstanding contributions at the municipal, provincial and national levels, and was elected to the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress and the provincial people's congress. Published works successively 18. This article won nearly 100 awards at home and abroad. I used the loyalty of Plum Blossom to spur my loyalty to my motherland, and I used the integrity of Plum Blossom to inspire my courage to move forward, thus completing my grandfather's earnest entrustment to me, and also personally appreciating the profound connotation of China's soul, the soul of Plum Blossom-the soul of an innocent child.
The Soul of Plum Blossom was first released in Huacheng on May 1984, and won the first prize of Moonlight at Home with how bright! In the same year, the National Essay was jointly organized by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and Huasheng Newspaper. 199 1 year, won the second prize of "Love China" of Xinhua News Agency magazine again, and won the grand prize in the Great Hall of the People. Li Ruihuan and other central leaders attended the award ceremony. At the same time, Nobel Prize winner Professor Ding Zhaozhong, grandson of Lin Zexu V, former ambassador of China to the United Nations and other well-known writers, experts and scholars at home and abroad won awards. In the following ten years, The Soul of Plum Blossom was selected into 18 selected works and textbooks of universities, primary schools and primary schools at home and abroad.
Throughout the ages, China has been known as the "four gentlemen" of pine, bamboo, plum and orchid. Pine, bamboo and plum are known as "three friends who are old and cold", which is naturally a metaphor for people and praises the noble character of the world. So I wrote "The Soul of Plum Blossoms" because I deeply miss my grandfather who died with patriotic feelings. But in my heart, plum blossom spirit is the immortal fragrance of our great nation from generation to generation. It is the righteousness passed down from generation to generation by the descendants of the Chinese people all over the world. Praising the soul of plum blossom is to carry forward the British style of China and the righteousness of Yan Huang!
Teaching suggestions of textbook editors;
Nostalgia is the deepest and oldest among many beautiful feelings of human beings. Vagrants and recruiters living in foreign countries. Who doesn't care about his hometown? Hometown is our root. Even though years make people old, who can forget the affectionate land that once raised us? Therefore, through the ages, the long love for homesickness and land has often become an eternal theme. The title of the second unit of the first volume of the fifth grade of the People's Education Edition is "how bright in the moonlight at home!" . However, children are often unable to experience this profound emotion personally, and it is still an important way to experience it through literary works.
For overseas travelers. Missing one's homeland means missing one's motherland. In the soul of plum blossom, the yearning for the motherland is projected on plum blossom, which symbolizes the spirit of the Chinese nation. At the same time, the article is full of the writer's deep yearning for his grandfather, which is also related to his patriotic feelings. Therefore, when teaching, teachers should be careful not to separate these feelings, and realize that patriotism is the dominant emotion in the whole text.
When the author expresses his feelings, he uses concrete examples instead of shouting "ah", "ya" and "horse" at random. It is this specific writing that makes the feelings of his works in vain. Bing Xin, a great prose writer, once said in a letter to the author: "I like your prose very much, especially in lyricism, which is not an empty sadness for spring and autumn." I'm tired of reading this kind of text! "
For the sincere and profound text "The Soul of Plum Blossom", how teachers guide students to deeply understand emotions is the focus of teaching. I think besides "concentrate on doing this article well", we need some relevant materials to help students understand. When teaching, teachers should not label people, but ask questions such as "What kind of person is Grandpa" and "What kind of personality does the article show his grandfather". Instead, it is necessary to give in-depth examples to let students know "why did my grandfather teach me to read Tang poetry and Song poetry" and "why did my grandfather love Mei Mei so much but gave me the map". I think these questions can make students understand that it is not vague, but not trivial.
