Teaching steps

1. Introduction: read a limerick "The Emperor"

The emperor is the most diligent, the emperor The hardest. The emperor loves the people the most, and the emperor is the most democratic. The emperor is the most affectionate, and the emperor is the most heroic. The emperor is the most talented, and the emperor is a great scholar. The emperor is the loneliest and the emperor is in the most pain.

The emperor is the most devoid of desires, and the emperor is the simplest. The emperor is the most uncomfortable, and the emperor suffers all. The emperor is the most pitiful, the emperor is the least blessed. The Emperor is the most selfless, the Emperor is the True Holy Lord.

Question: Is this what an emperor is like? How about being an emperor? Do you want to be an emperor? (Students are all talking about it)

During China’s two thousand years of feudal autocratic rule There were more than 400 emperors in Japan. Ancient feudal kings enjoyed supreme rights. Students, do you want to be a king? If you became a king, would you like to have a large group of minions who kowtow to you and follow you and shout "Long live, long live! Long live!" ?Today we look at the essay "If I Were a King" by the modern writer Nie Gannu to see what the author would be like under his bold hypothesis, and what kind of thoughts and understandings it contains.

2. Introduction to the author and background

Nie Gannu: The author’s name is so vivid: a sky-blue bow that shoots arrows with a machine. In the history of modern literature, Nie Gannu was a fighting essayist after Lu Xun and Qu Qiubai. Some people call his essays "powerful resounding arrows that often hit the enemy's nose."

3. Overall perception, clarifying ideas

1. Students read the text freely, think about the author’s writing ideas, and underline the iconic words in each part of the language.

We have read the text once, and have followed Mr. Nie to experience what it is like to be a king. So, let’s talk about what it is like to be a king?

2. Question: What is the author’s attitude towards “king” and “being a king”? What is it like to be a queen? What are people’s attitudes? 3. How does the author feel about being a queen? Why does he feel monotonous and lonely?

Feeling monotonous, lonely, lonely. Because they are surrounded by slaves, it is impossible for them to communicate with "me" on an equal footing, so "I" cannot see the real face or hear the real voice.

Therefore, feeling "monotonous, lonely and lonely" is what we often call "it feels cold at high places".

4. The author has written all the situations of being a king, and the article seems to be over. What kind of thinking has the author done? What has he realized?

If it ends here, If it is superficial, it will have no artistic or ideological value in essays. The author realized: I live among slaves, and I am just the leader of the slaves.

4. Grasp the theme of the article

1. Read paragraphs 7-8 together. The author despises and mocks the king, hates and despises the slaves, revealing the essence of being a king. After awakening, " What should I do? Why should I do this (answer in the words of the article)? How to solve this problem?

After awakening, we must kill the slaves and destroy the slave species; because "I think the reason why the world is still There is much room for improvement, all because of these minions."

2. Underline the sentences you do not understand and let everyone discuss and solve them:

① What does it mean to emphasize that I am a citizen of the Republic of China?

"A citizen of the Republic of China. "Thoughts and living habits" are servility and obsequiousness, servility. Although I am a citizen of the Republic of China, I hate being a slave to others. I have my own distinct thoughts and personality. I am incompatible with the consciousness of royal power and the mentality of slaves.

② "I think the reason why the world is still in need of improvement is because of these slaves. Living among slaves and being the leader of slaves will bring me the greatest shame in my life. , the greatest sorrow."

The "world" in this sentence should refer to the "world" under the rule of the Kuomintang Party. "There is a lot of room for improvement, all because of these slaves." , this means that Chiang Kai-shek's civil servants and generals are just minions. These minions support Chiang xx and make the old "world" look ugly; "it needs to be improved", and it must be improved to the point where there are no minions. world". Then the author uses the imaginary "king" "I" to allude to Jiang xx, who is just a "leader of the minions." That was Jiang xx’s greatest shame and greatest sorrow.

According to records, during the Anti-Japanese War, in Chongqing, some slaves under the rule of the Kuomintang Party presented "Nine Tripods" to Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, Jiang xx was "furious" and asked the slaves: "What are you doing, do you think of me as the emperor?" Some people commented at the time that Jiang xx did not want to admit that he was the emperor, but in the eyes of his slaves, he had already It's the emperor (or "king"). In that "world", Jiang XX is actually the "king" in the eyes of his slaves - the leader of the slaves! So the author said that he, the leader of the slaves, is the greatest shame and the greatest sorrow.

③"I will become a tyrant, or on the contrary, a wise king: I will kill all my subjects, together with my elders and teachers, and not allow a single slave to remain in the world."

p>

Why can a tyrant be a wise king at the same time? "Violence" means killing all "slaves"; "Ming" means eliminating all slaves and leaving no one in the world. If the slaves have no descendants, they will no longer be slaves. Boss. This "violence" contains "brightness", and "brightness" requires "violence". The author believes that slaves are more terrifying than royal power. They are the hotbed for the survival of the idea of ??royal power. Therefore, "not a single slave species is allowed to remain in the world" and categorically expresses his strong desire to eradicate all slave species.

④ Question: "If I were a king, I would not be a king in the end, but I would really be the greatest king in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad." Is there any contradiction in this sentence?

Clear: no contradiction. If I were the king, I would eradicate all slaves. Then "I would not have a single subject", and of course "I would not be able to be the king in the end." But I have defended human dignity and independent thinking, and maintained my own distinct personality. I will be a more distinct and independent perfect person. This is the real "king", that is to say, "the biggest king in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad". This sentence fully reflects the author's admiration and pursuit of human dignity and independent thought.

⑤ "'Long live, long live, long live!' I will shout three times together with the real people all over the world." Why do we still need to shout "Long live" three times when there is no king? "Really Who does "people" refer to?

The three "Long Live" here are not a praise for the king, but a cheer for the realization of democracy, equality, and freedom. That is, people who are free from servility and whose humanity develops freely.

3. Summarize the theme of this article: The author criticizes the consciousness of imperial power and the idea of ??slaves through fictitious assumptions about various situations of "If I were a king", especially the basis of imperial power - the slaves. He was indignant and called for the eradication of all slaves. It expresses the admiration and pursuit of human dignity and independent thought.

5. Read the text again and think about why Mr. Nie hates the slave so much? What does the slave look like? Summarize the characteristics of the slave based on the text. After discussion and analysis by teachers and students, it is concluded that:

1. Summarize the appearance of slaves based on the content of the text: following others, flattering, submissive, obeying orders, groveling, clever words, bullying, fearing the strong, and having ulterior motives

< p> There are many hateful slaves like this. For example: in the pre-Qin period, Yi Ya, the cook of Duke Huan of Qi, willingly killed his own children, cooked them into meat soup, and presented them to Duke Huan of Qi in order to please his master; during the Five Dynasties, Shi Jingtang, the governor of the Later Tang Dynasty, in order to usurp power, Yanyun ceded the Sixteenth Prefecture to the Liao Kingdom, and regarded Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, who was ten years younger than him, as his father emperor and called himself his son emperor, leaving an eternal infamy. "Suck carbuncle and lick hemorrhoids" The courtier Deng Tong sucked the pus for Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, and the imperial doctor licked hemorrhoids for King Qin, which was disgusting. What else do you know, classmates? Recall the literary works you have read or the film and television works you have watched, etc., talk about the "minion" image that impressed you the most, and evaluate it.

2. The social harm of the existence of slaves: The centralized rule of feudal autocratic rule and the suppression of feudal culture have led to the words and deeds of people in the entire society forming a servile character of being conservative and hypocritical. This kind of pervading society, The slavishness that permeates the human heart not only corrupts social customs and leads to the destruction of the country, but also imprisons thoughts and distorts human nature. Only by eradicating and eradicating this stubborn disease of slavishness can human nature be liberated and society find a way out.

7. Discussion: Combining the text and history, talk about the relationship between royal power and servants? What harm do they have?

Clearly: First of all, there is a mutually antagonistic relationship. The person in power is the one who rules and manages the slaves, and the slaves accept the rule and management, "lord, minister, father, son, son". The status is different. A slave always wants to be a king, and a king always wants to suppress the slaves. .

But on the other hand, the two are interdependent and conditional for each other, and one cannot exist without the other. Slaves are the breeding ground for the king to survive, and the king is built on the foundation of slaves.

Therefore, we must eradicate slaves and deny the royal power, and ultimately realize an equal and democratic system in which everyone is king and everyone is not king. < /p>

8. Connect with reality and dig deeper into the theme.

China’s two thousand years of feudal rule focused on the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, and the order of superiority and inferiority. The first level of officialdom crushes people to death. In such an environment, it is easy for people to become mentally numb. Those who bully others will feel at ease, and so will those who are bullied. There is a joke: Someone was beaten up by the big boss for no reason. He didn't know how to get angry, but was complacent. Oops, I'm really lucky today. The old man only hit me with a board. It would be terrible if he hit me with a board with nails. In the feudal society, in an environment where big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and shrimps eat mud, it is easy for people to ignore right and wrong, obey orders, and accept the situation. This is servility. Even today, we need to think carefully about how heavy the word "equality" is in people's minds. Please look at the materials in Exercise 3 after class and tell me whether you think there is servility around you? Do you have it in you? (Supplementary materials can be added to connect with reality)

In real life, there are still many people who have deep-rooted slavish feelings in their souls. There is still a very strong sense of royal power and slave thinking everywhere.

In real life, the consciousness of royal power and the idea of ??servanthood still exist in different forms, such as a primary school teacher Du in Sichuan who went to court

, and a little girl in a big city named herself as her grandparents. The examples of parents being slaves and so on show that the worship of royal power is really a manifestation of the servility that has not been eliminated. As a Chinese, we all have the responsibility to work hard for the development of the Chinese nation. What do you think we should do from today on? ( It can be done from a personal micro perspective or a national macro perspective). On the one hand, we call for the improvement of the social democratic system and the strengthening of the legal system; on the other hand, we as individuals should also have the courage to abandon the consciousness of royal power and the mentality of slaves and be upright people.

There are so many palace dramas nowadays that someone wrote a poem to satirize:

Show the limerick again (one more subtitle and one more concluding sentence than the first time)

Your Majesty< /p>

——My thoughts after watching the TV series

The emperor is the most diligent, and the emperor is the most hard-working. The emperor loves the people the most, and the emperor is the most democratic. The emperor is the most affectionate, and the emperor is the most heroic.

The emperor is the most talented, and the emperor is a great Confucian. The emperor is the loneliest and the emperor is in the most pain. The emperor is the most austere, the emperor is the most simple.

The emperor is the most uncomfortable, and the emperor suffers all. The emperor is the most pitiful, the emperor is the least blessed. The Emperor is the most selfless, the Emperor is the True Holy Lord.

Educate slaves not to grow backbones.

Writer Yu Jie said it right. In an era of democracy, rule of law, and science, it is really a sad thing to sing the praises of emperors, advocate dictatorship, promote slavish consciousness, and propagate feudal ideas. It seems that we have a long way to go towards true democracy.

9. Mr. Nie used his words and personality to give us a baptism of democratic spirit, and also showed us a successful example of a hypothetical essay. (Then let’s talk about the advantages and successful examples of this type of essay in college entrance examination essays.)

How to write imaginary essays

1. Set the topic cleverly and start from the opposite side. Leaving this article aside, what do you think the author will write when you see this question, or what will you write when you get this essay question? Generally speaking, it will be described in a positive way, such as the election manifesto: "If I become the squad leader." This is no longer an essay. This essay wants to criticize the concept of royal power and the slave mentality. It does not start from the front, but from the negative side. The author gives full play to the role of imagination and imagines various situations "if I were a king", so that readers can fully realize the absurdity and ridiculousness of royal power and slave consciousness. It is more powerful to expose than to start from the front.

2. Playful-to-get writing method.

3. Use parallelism to build momentum and enhance the critical effect

Provide a topic and guide students to write using the method of imaginary essays

For example: "My "Dad is a rich man" "If I were a counterfeiter" "If I were a fake beggar" "I am a cadre in the class"

Extracurricular homework: Read two essays in "Reader" and write a review after reading.

10. Summary.

Haizi said, be a happy person from tomorrow on.

We say, start being a real person from today on. ;
