The cumulative education method is a scientific, simple and effective education method first put forward systematically by Lai, a famous expert in Chinese traditional studies. According to his own learning experience and children's psychological and physiological characteristics, Teacher Lai put forward this idea when training his daughter Lai Sijia to learn Chinese classics. After continuous improvement, it gradually became a system. Today, the cumulative education method has influenced millions of families around the world and has become one of the famous children's education methods popular at home and abroad.
The application of cumulative education method in the study of Chinese classics is also called "137 learning method".
"1" means reading 1 at least and 7 times at most every day; About ten minutes, no more than ten minutes;
"3" means that you can choose to read three things every day, up to seven things; For example, read The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Changes and Laozi at the same time;
"7" means repeating the same content for 7 consecutive days. For example, repeat the same contents in The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Changes and Laozi from Monday to Sunday. Regardless of whether the child has a back or not, he will enter the next week after reading for 7 days. In this way, children can memorize or even recite nearly ten classics such as The Analects of Confucius, Daxue, The Book of Changes, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Tao Te Ching, The Three-character Classic, Hundreds of Family Names, Thousand-character Works, Family Instructions of Zhu Zi and Li Weng Duiyun in about two years.
The amount of study: the cumulative method advocates that the amount of study in one day is about 400 words. However, the amount of learning is a reference value. Different children and different learning stages can be flexibly mastered according to their acceptance ability.
Study time: discrete teaching principle is adopted. A study time is about ten minutes, two or three times a day, and the study time is about half an hour a day.
Learning content (what classics to read):
First, the Six Classics and Four Books: Teacher Lai pointed out that the Six Classics and Four Books are the staple foods that must be learned, and the Book of Changes is the first in the group of classics, so it must be learned first.
The Six Classics refer to the Book of Changes, Huangdi Neijing, Book of Songs, Filial Piety Classics, Tao Te Classics and Diamond Classics. These six classics, mainly Confucian, cover the contents of Buddhism and Taoism, which are different from the traditional six classics-poetry, calligraphy, ceremony, change, music and spring and autumn.
The four books refer to the Analects of Confucius, the University, the Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius, which are no different from the traditional four books.
Besides, you can eat some side dishes. What is the side dish? Such as Tang Poetry, Song Poetry, Zhuangzi and Mozi.
B. Classics are classified by function: training a person is the same as building a house, which requires laying the foundation, making the structure and finally decorating.
1. Basic categories: including Saint, Hundred Family Names, Money, Disciples' Rules, The Analects of Confucius, University, The Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius. Such classics are all about being a man. Being a talented person is the foundation, while learning knowledge and doing things is the latter.
2, structural class: this is a classic. I ching, filial piety, book of songs, Tao te ching, diamond sutra, Huangdi Neijing, etc.
3. Decorative categories: pre-Qin poetry, Tang poetry, Song poetry, ancient prose, historical records, historical books, and history books.
C, three lines of learning: there must be a master plan for cultivating children: how to cultivate your children perfectly? The middle of "137 learning method" is 3, so learning has three threads.
The first way of thinking is to learn these classics. The Book of Changes+Huangdi Neijing+Daodejing+Filial Piety are all classics.
The second main line is to learn the Canon, and the category of Analects of Confucius+University+Doctrine of the Mean+Mencius is also in the middle.
The third thread is about decoration: Sanzijing+Baijia surname+Qianziwen+Disciple Rules+idioms solitaire+Poetry Enlightenment+Literature Enlightenment, which is the basis of comparison.
By following these three main lines, you can learn very solidly in two years. If you are worried about the lack of time, you can study for three years, and you can learn well in the third year. In this way, two or three years have laid the foundation of our children's life.
