Why recite ancient poems for children?

When we were young, we all recited ancient poems, but we often forgot them after reciting them, especially preschool children. By the time they officially entered the school, they had forgotten all about them. So, should preschool children recite ancient poems? The answer is of course yes, because reciting ancient poems can bring many benefits to children.

First, reciting ancient poems can cultivate children's sense of language and rhythm.

Our ancient poems are very particular about reciting. What does "reciting" mean? It means singing! Although the ancient art of "chanting" has almost been lost, the sense of rhythm of ancient poetry has not weakened at all; Not to mention the word. Writing lyrics is to fill in music cards. To put it bluntly, "words" are lyrics. The most famous Song Ci is the popular song of the Song Dynasty.

The cultivation of language sense is especially helpful for children to distinguish sick sentences in Chinese learning after primary school. Although some children can't understand where the sentence is wrong, they can always choose the correct answer for only one reason: "Smooth!" This is where the sense of language comes into play.

Second, reciting ancient poems can cultivate children's aesthetic ability.

Poetry is the essence of any language. Our ancient poems attach great importance to borrowing scenery to express feelings, and borrowing things to express feelings. Although children are still young and don't understand many feelings, they can understand and accept those descriptions of the scenery. Letting children recite ancient poems is to bury a correct understanding of beauty in their hearts. What they came into contact with as children often affects their lives. The more you expose him to the real beauty now, the less likely he will be corroded by vulgar and ugly things when he grows up.

Third, forgetting does not mean that there is no connection at all.

Although most children will forget the ancient poems recited before going to school in the second and third grades of primary school, the human brain is not a computer. Their memory of ancient poems has not been deleted, but is hidden somewhere. Once the time is ripe, those vague memories can be awakened soon, which is very different from never touching ancient poetry.

Fourth, reciting ancient poems before school can enhance children's interest in learning Chinese.

Parents all know that Chinese plays an increasingly important role in exams, but many children are really interested in Chinese learning. It is very helpful to recite ancient poems when I was a child. If a child can appreciate the beauty of language by reciting ancient poems, it will certainly be of great benefit to his future Chinese study.

Reciting ancient poems has so many advantages, so how to recite them more effectively?

First of all, start with the simple, step by step.

The first ancient poem that many children recite is probably a goose, which is a good start. We must start with the simple, and start with the short. Parents should not pursue long and difficult things, and it is most important for their children to be interested in memorizing them.

Every child is different, but it's not wrong to start with something simple and easy to recite. As for where the children can go, don't worry, just take your time.

Second, don't be superstitious about everyone, but don't be too partial.

Choosing poems for children doesn't have to be Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, especially Du Fu. Personally, I think many of Du Fu's poems are gloomy and not so suitable for children. Parents are advised to choose works that are familiar to them and have clear and lively emotions. After all, it is too early for children to worry about their country and people.

Personally recommend Wang Wei. His landscape poems should be the peak of China's ancient poems. There seems to be no one on the empty mountain, but I think I hear a voice. No one can match the beauty of the artistic conception of moonlight in the pine forest and crystal stone in the stream.

If it is a boy, it is also excellent to recite a few frontier poems. "The bright moon rises from the mountain of heaven and is in the boundless haze of the sea of clouds. Thousands of miles to the wind, blowing Yumenguan battlements. " There are only twenty crosses, and the vastness and desolation of the frontier fortress are vivid on the paper, which is very verve. However, it is worth noting that many frontier poems are extremely sad. Needless to say, "the poor are living in a young woman's dream" makes us cry now, which is the sentence behind Li Bai's "Guan Shanyue" that "soldiers turn back, look at the border and miss their hometown". Those who are upstairs tonight are tossing and turning and sighing. "It is also full of sadness, so we must be careful when choosing for our children. If it is really difficult to choose, I think it is not impossible to recite half.

Try not to choose too biased. I know a mother who likes Nalan Xingde very much. As a result, she taught her primary school girls to recite "It was unusual at that time" every day. It's good, but it's really not suitable for children. I like Li Shangyin very much myself, but in the end I only dare to let my son recite a "Jinse". It's not too late to read some poems when the children grow up.

Third, poetry is the mainstay, supplemented by words.

For preschool children, ancient poems are easier to accept and the words are a bit stuttering. If parents really like Ci, it is suggested to choose Huanxisha and picking mulberry seeds, which are short and pithy, close to poetry. For example, Zhang's "Mountains surround Pinghu and shake the city, and the reflection of lake light soaks into the mountains, and the crystal building yearns for the night", and the word "immersion" is really good.

Fourth, let children listen to more famous books to read.

The network is so developed that there are many programs and ancient poems to read for parents to search casually. Parents can download it and let their children follow. This effect is many times better than reading a book. Especially in the treatment of pause and severity, this is beyond the expression of printed matter. Another reason for listening to famous readers is that children can't read much, and there are many rare words in ancient poems, which is almost impossible for children to read by themselves.

Another advantage of listening to reading aloud is that you can listen to it anytime and anywhere. You don't have to let your child sit there and listen to it. Just turn it on for him when he plays games, just like background music. Don't underestimate this kind of casual listening, children will benefit a lot.

It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. Memorize it first.

Some parents say that children don't understand ancient poems, so it is meaningless to recite them blindly. In fact, this is what it means to let children recite ancient poems. In fact, even adults, how many people dare to say that they really understand the author's original intention? "Read a book a hundred times and see its meaning" is a bit exaggerated, but it is reasonable for ancient poetry. The focus of children's reciting ancient poems is not understanding, but memorizing rhythm and general idea. It's like building a lot of bricks before building a tall building. Although you can't see the shape of the building from bricks, bricks are the foundation of tall buildings.

Just now I said I don't understand, back. It's not that parents just let their children recite a lot of poems. Parents can turn poems into stories that children can understand and tell them, or some related short stories will do. For example, it can be the background of writing, or it can be the anecdote joke of the poet. Children will be willing to recite if they find it interesting.

Although the child is young, nothing you teach him will be in vain, just like seeds, which will not germinate immediately after planting. Only by patiently watering and fertilizing seedlings can they break through the ground and grow into towering trees after countless storms. What our parents have to do is to find the right seeds, plant them, then water and fertilize them and wait for them to sprout and grow!

Therefore, parents should let their children learn to recite ancient poems from an early age, cultivate their interests from an early age, and choose the right way to cultivate their children. Don't waste time, it is counterproductive!
