Seeing Dong Qing, I finally understood why we want our children to read classics

Recently, a parent asked in the background: Primary and secondary school students simply cannot understand the connotations of some classics. Why do the education departments still recommend them to them? I believe that many parents should also have this confusion. Since the start of the new semester in September last year, Chinese language teaching materials have undergone a major overhaul. Almost every unit in primary, middle and upper grades has extended extracurricular reading, and junior high schools have strengthened \”selected readings of classics.\” Questions on reading classics have even appeared in exam papers for elementary school entrance exams, high school entrance exams and even college entrance exams across the country: a new question on “reading classics” was added to the test paper. Mark Twain’s words accurately expressed everyone’s tangled feelings: “Masterpieces Reading” It’s the kind of book that everyone says is good but doesn’t read much.” Even adults can’t get enough of this book. Is it necessary to force children to read it? The answer is of course yes. Read classics and develop a literary temperament Dong Qing has been praised by the audience for his outstanding performance in programs such as \”The Reader\” and \”Chinese Poetry Conference\” in the past two years. When he first saw \”Poetry Conference\”, Qing Lanjun was like everyone else , as if getting to know Dong Qing again. I used to think that Dong Qing could only host large-scale evening parties. I didn’t expect that she could not only receive poems but also speak lyrics at the \”Chinese Poetry Conference\”. The highlight is that her comments and summaries of each contestant were very exciting: Each of us No one is complete, but some are visible defects and some are invisible. It is admirable to pursue a complete soul and a complete spiritual world with optimism, strength and courage. ——Dong Qing’s Comments on the Broken-Arm Girl Zhang Chaofan is an uncle who has only studied for four years and has been a farmer all his life. That poem, like a little green in the desert, always brings him some hope and some desire, and uses his limited time to Water irrigated it, slowly breaking through the soil, and growing again, until today. So even if you get the answer wrong, it is the most beautiful mistake in our field. ——Dong Qing commented on the old man who bravely pursues his dream. As the saying goes, a father, a daughter, a mother and a son, will eventually be separated. Let us cherish the countdown mentality and cherish the days together. This is a vacancy, but it is also a completion. I hope Wang Yilong’s mother will recover soon. ——Wang Yilong, who wants to go home to take care of his mother. Dong Qing, just as netizens lamented: She has such a beautiful temperament, every smile, every word exudes charm! Dong Qing\’s charm is related to her love of reading. Dong Qing once said: \”If I don\’t study for a few days, I will feel as uncomfortable as a person who doesn\’t take a shower for a few days.\” As early as middle school, Dong Qing began to read a classic every three to five days. No matter how busy he is at work, Dong Qing always ensures one hour of reading time every day, and this is still the case today. The spirit of poetry and calligraphy in the belly comes from China, and the most beautiful thing is the fragrance of books that can reach far. The most advanced skin care products are not expensive cosmetics, but world classics. Read classics and realize the philosophy of life. A netizen complained on Zhihu about the \”painful\” experience of being forced to read classics since childhood: when he was a child, he encountered an evil mother and father, and other people\’s children did well in the final exam and went to play. field, and I only had \”Five Thousand Years of China\” as a gift from my mother (I\’m only in the first grade!!!). When other people’s fathers go to the provincial capital, they bring them all delicious and fun things! ! ! The one from our family brought it to meIt\’s \”How Steel Was Tempered\” and \”The Gadfly\”… (I\’m not even in the second grade yet!!!) With my father\’s insistence on business trips and my mother\’s occasional rewards… they were in my third year of study. Before I was in grade 1, I successfully bought all the books in the series below, as well as various books in other series… nearly two hundred books in total! Suddenly it feels very inhumane! Guess what the children who were fed such classics gained? This netizen looked back on the books he had read in the past and said: \”I am very grateful to my parents, who gave me the opportunity to understand this big world through a long and penetrating way when I was still young.\” \”Watch \” \”Uncle Tom\’s Cabin\”, I sat alone on a small bench and cried like a paper man. I knew that there would be people worse off than myself in this world, so I had to be kind and do good deeds… Watch \”Eugenie\” \”Langtai\”, I understood that money cannot buy love, and a miser who is too stingy and stingy will be very tragic. Watching \”Tess of the Bergs\”, I told myself that girls should protect themselves, otherwise they will be raped by bad guys.\” Research by Erikson, a famous American psychologist, shows: \”For cultivating character, preaching alone will not work. Only reading can effectively achieve the purpose of shaping character.\” And those famous books contain what we want to teach our children. philosophy of life. The life insights gained through reading are completely different from the endless nagging of teachers and parents. Those movie-like scenes will be deeply engraved in the hearts of children. Many simple but necessary world views can be experienced by children through books. Why do we let our children read world classics? Because we must use the best spiritual food of human civilization and national civilization to nourish our children and lay the foundation for their lifelong spiritual growth and learning. Just like what the American poet Whitman wrote in his poem: \”A Child Walks Forward\” There is a child who walks forward every day. The first thing he sees becomes that thing, and that thing becomes a part of him… …Reading classics brings out the vision and mind beyond one\’s age. Mr. Li Xigui, a famous educationist and principal of Beijing No. 1 School, once did an experiment when he was a Chinese teacher in Gaomi No. 1 Middle School: he asked his son who had just entered the first grade of junior high school to be in the third grade of junior high school. My niece took the Chinese language final exam in her senior year of high school. When the marking results came out, what embarrassed the teacher was that the average score of the two junior high school students was almost the same as the average score of the senior high school students! How can two children who have not received a lot of explanations and training in Chinese classes achieve such results? Teacher Li said that it depends on reading a large number of famous classics suitable for them at different ages. Children who love to read world famous books will have a vision and a broad mind beyond their years. I once saw an admirable comment on a video program discussing children’s reading: Vision determines realm, and realm determines the way out. Reading world famous books is like looking at the world from the shoulders of masters. Children\’s living space is relatively narrow, so they need to expand their mental space through reading. As long as you have a book in hand, you can write a book with anyone hundreds, thousands, or thousands of miles awayPeople engage in spiritual dialogue and communication. There is no better way to teach your children than to read classics.
