Is it useful for children to memorize a lot of ancient poems without understanding them?

I remember when I was pregnant with Mulan, I went to the hospital for an HCG test for the first time. There were many people around the doctor’s table. Finally it was my turn. The doctor took the test sheet and said: Your value is not even 1/10 of others, you will definitely lose it. , prepare for surgery. I just gave birth to a baby before, 77 days later, the baby stopped. Hearing such cold words and such a straightforward judgment, what I felt was not despair, but embarrassment. Then a large group of people looked at me, a little confused. \”Come back for another checkup tomorrow!\” My mother and I walked out of the hospital and walked home, feeling an indescribable feeling in our hearts. On the second day, I did not go to the hospital for examination. I wake up in the morning and read \”The Great Learning\” and memorize the \”Tao Te Ching\”. I feel much better. Words have a healing power, and classics have a magical power of tranquility and righteousness. Being nervous and depressed doesn\’t help me. If you really want to leave, you can\’t stay. Just go with the flow and do your best to obey fate. Morning sickness started on the third day, and it became more and more serious day by day. Because of this morning sickness, we all felt relieved. Isn\’t this the child proving himself? I still recite \”The Great Learning\” and \”Tao Te Ching\” every day, get up in the afternoon, read \”The Analects of Confucius\”, and tell stories to the child in my belly at night. When Mulan was about to be born, I could basically recite the entire \”Analects of Confucius\” by heart. At that time, I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of when the teacher was with me. The state of mind is like still water, and everything in the world is clear. When we were pregnant with Muxin, we lived at the Polytechnic University. Mulan was less than two years old at the time and had not officially started classes. Chinese studies classes only took place every weekend, so she had a lot of free time. Every morning I wake up and read ancient poems, and when I wake up at noon I recite the Tao Te Ching. When I was 38 weeks old, I went for a prenatal check-up. There was a room full of people queuing up. I was in my forties, so I found a seat and sat there, thinking: after I finish memorizing Chapter 81 of the Tao Te Ching, it should be my turn. . The people sitting around me were all pregnant mothers, all queuing up for check-ups. A lot of people are watching videos, and I don’t really like playing on my phone, especially after having children. So I sat there quietly, closing my eyes and reciting the Tao Te Ching silently in my heart. I just finished memorizing the Tao Te Ching and it was my turn. Endorsing makes people calm, and of course it is also a good prenatal education for children. Friends say that if you eat bird\’s nest when you are pregnant, your child will look whiter. In fact, I don’t mind if my child is white or black, but what if it’s whiter and darker? I don’t want my child to be too beautiful, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. Prenatal education, a mother’s words, deeds, and even her thoughts have an impact on the child in her belly. Cultivating one’s mind and body is prenatal education. When Muxin was giving birth, I was lying on the bed silently, looking at the clock on the wall, listening to the cries of pregnant mothers from all directions giving birth, and silently encouraging myself in my heart: read the Tao Te Ching from Chapter 1 It should be enough to memorize it twice until you reach Chapter 81. In fact, when I just memorized Chapter 15, Mu Xin was about to be born. Even the doctor didn\’t believe it and kept shouting: \”You came here on a rocket!\” He arrived at the hospital at 1:00 in the morning and did not even have time for examination. Mu Xin was born at 3:00. And I didn’t have time to memorize the Tao Te Ching from Chapter 1 to Chapter 81, but from beginning to end, my mind was as calm as still water, neither impatient nor impetuous, and persevered.I keep reading and telling stories to my children. I don’t have any evil intentions and everything feels good. After the children were born, they read ancient poems and essays to them from the first day, and continued to read them every day. Do you think a newborn baby can understand it? After listening to it for so long, who knew? Mulan was able to recite 100 ancient poems proficiently when she was two years old. She was able to recite 200 ancient poems proficiently when she was three years old, and began to recite long ancient poems such as \”Preface to the Lanting Collection\” and \”Preface to Prince Teng\’s Pavilion\”. Mu Xin could recite 80 ancient poems when she was two years old, and 160 ancient poems when she was three years old. It was also after he reached the age of three that he began to recite long works such as \”Preface to the Lanting Collection\” and \”Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng\”. Excessiveness is very natural, and I have been very close to classical Chinese since I was a child. Mulan has been quiet since she was a child and is very focused on doing things. Mu Xin made us a little worried when it started. But she was able to get ahead of the latecomers. Her sister also listened in class, and the children also participated in class. Her concentration was very touching. She was like mushrooms after a spring rain, studying hard and running forward. Mulan was in reading class, while Mu Xin was telling stories to herself. It’s hard to imagine that she has to take several classes with me every day, but this little guy can sit still and complete the task brilliantly. Their level of quietness and concentration is directly proportional to their recitation of ancient poetry. It seems that after reciting a few long ancient poems, I obviously feel that the child is different. You can\’t tell what is different, it is just a feeling. Whenever I encounter something unhappy or unsatisfactory in my life, I like to read and recite it, which helps me calm down, reflect on it, make corrections, and avoid being greedy or angry. There are many smart people, and only when they know where to stop can they not be lazy; there are many rich people, and only when they meditate and cultivate righteousness can they feel at ease. I require children to memorize ancient poems and articles, rather than to read them by heart. The concentration and integrity cultivated every day will be the source of strength for children as they grow up.
