From "My waist is full of money"

My waist is 1000 yuan, which is a classical Chinese fable in the theme unit of Cherish, the twelfth volume of Chinese in Beijing Normal University. The article outlines the image of a greedy drowning man with an exaggerated fable joke: I would rather lose my life than give up my money. It satirizes the tragic fate of people who love money more than life. Its meaning is profound and unforgettable.

Always self-sufficient and good at traveling. One day, the water was so fierce that there were five or six self-protection boats that they could not get into the water.

Yongzhou people are good at swimming. One day, the river suddenly rose, and five or six people crossed the Xiangjiang River by boat. When crossing the river, the boat broke down and everyone swam. One of them tried to swim, but he still couldn't swim far. His companion said, "You are the best swimmer. Why are you behind now? " He said, "I have a thousand pence wrapped around my waist, which is very heavy, so I am behind." The companion said, "Why not throw it away?" He didn't answer and shook his head. After a while, he was more tired. All the people who swam across the river stood on the shore, shouting, "You are stupid to the extreme, ignorant to the extreme, and you are drowning. What do you need money for? " He shook his head again. So he drowned.

When I first read this article, I was attracted and stopped to enjoy it for a long time.

Nowadays, children live a happy and prosperous life, and the concept of money is even more worrying. After reading this textbook, I germinated to use this lesson to arouse children's reflection and correct my personal view of money.

Because the previous class was also a Chinese class. When I walked into the classroom, I couldn't help but be surprised to see my classmates looking bored. Can this course be good? On second thought: children like stories, as long as they are interested, there is no problem. I stepped onto the platform and looked at them with a smile. They also looked at me quietly, waiting for me to get into the theme as usual. I walked off the platform and said with a smile, "I'll tell you a story today!" " "Hearing this, the children suddenly came to God, sat up straight and flashed their eyes. I see a door! I began to say, "once upon a time, a man got a lot of money, about 1000 copper coins." In order to prevent the money from being stolen, he hid it around his waist. One day, he and his companions wanted to cross the river, but due to the recent continuous heavy rain, the river surged. When the boat reached the middle of the river, it leaked and they had to swim across the river. The money hidden at the waist is extremely heavy. If you want to cross the river, you must give up the money in your waist At this point, I stopped and asked, "What would you do if it were you?" The children began to talk about it. Xie, the most restless in the class, stood up and said solemnly, "I threw away the money." "I will also throw it away, because life is more important." The class is full of excitement. Others laughed and whispered, "What a fool!" I looked around and asked, "What do you think?" Hong Kaiyuan, who is usually very playful, stood up: "I won't throw away the money. I will spend all my money to cross the river. " "You have reached the middle of the river. How to cross the river after spending it? " Someone immediately began to oppose his words. Zhang Kai didn't want to fall behind. He stood up and said, "I'm a good swimmer. I'm sure I can bring the money across the river." There was a sigh in the class. I smiled and said, "In ancient times, someone had the same idea as you. Let's read the story "My waist is a thousand dollars"! " The students opened their eyes wide and began to read aloud in chorus. After reading the text, some students can't help laughing at the classmate who wants to cross the river with money. ...

A class passed in the debate and laughter of the students, but what was left to the children was not only laughter and the joy brought by the class, but more importantly, through learning, the children learned that life is the most precious thing, and money is a thing outside, not with them when they are alive, and will not be taken away when they die. It is understandable to love money, but when money conflicts with other factors (such as life and family, friendship, principles, etc.), it is necessary to take a long-term view. Money is not everything. There are more important things in our life than money. My topic for children is "When we face money and friendship; When we are faced with money and principles, "practice writing." Extend the topic and thinking to extracurricular activities, so that students can deeply realize that there are many beautiful things in the world that money can't match. We should have a correct view of money. Facing the temptation of money, we should have our own principles, and we should not let money blind our eyes and hearts. You can't do anything for money; Let go of family and friendship for money; Beyond the moral bottom line of money ...
