It is a beautiful poem written by the poet Rabindranath Tagore. It is short in length and rich in meaning. The article begins with the illusion "If I turned into a golden flower", which gives rise to imagination - a magical child "hide and seek" with his mother, expressing his feelings for his mother in a child's unique way, forming a picture of children's play. The picture shows family love and the beauty and holiness of human nature.

2. Overall goal: Cultivate students’ ability to comprehend prose poetry.

Specific goals: 1. Cultivate the ability to recite poetry. (The emotion of the poem, the context of the poem, and the image of the poem are all read out. The reading process is actually another form of independent learning for students; and in the process of guiding reading, it can also guide students to think and discuss some things. Valuable question. )

Class schedule: 2 class hours

Teaching methods: 1. Guide students to read, understand and comprehend.

2. Guide students to find comparison points and conduct comparative learning.

3. The main characteristics and aesthetic characteristics of poetry determine that "perception" is an important way to cultivate students' poetry appreciation ability.

Sikong Tu, a poetry critic in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "Poetry can be described after discerning the taste." "Taste identification" means to enter the specific situation and role of the work on the basis of the feeling of the image, to feel the life and experience the emotions - this is to taste the taste of the language and figure out the meaning of the image. This is the same as what the ancients said: "Publish the text, enter the feelings, ask for the source, and benefit from it". These formulations can actually be said to be "enlightenment".

1. Strong lyricism is an important feature of poetry. Poetry can express feelings directly, or it can also use scenes to express feelings and express aspirations through objects.

2. Rich imagination, which is determined by the indirectness of the poetic image, which creates an extremely broad thinking space for people.

3. Distinctive musicality, which is mainly reflected in two aspects: rhythm and rhythm.

4. It has the characteristics of natural, fresh and elegant prose.

4. Understanding of "Enlightenment"

The so-called "enlightenment" can actually be divided into two psychological processes: "feeling" and "enlightenment". "Sense" means "feeling" and "contact". This process targets the detailed parts of the text. This process is transitional and triggering, and the reader's psychological flow immediately develops in the direction of "enlightenment". The so-called "enlightenment" means to understand from the outside to the inside. It can be said that "feeling" is the basis of "enlightenment", and "enlightenment" is the purpose of "feeling". Although the two cannot be completely separated, they are still different. On the one hand, "sensing" focuses on the components of the text, and "enlightenment" focuses on the text as a whole; on the other hand, "enlightenment" has greater independence and autonomy than "sensing". "Sense" emphasizes the aesthetic object, and "enlightenment" emphasizes the appreciation subject's own cognition and experience.

5. Study Materials

1. Author Introduction

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), Indian poet, novelist, dramatist, essayist, social activist Home. He grew up in a family with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, and was well-educated since childhood. In 1878, he studied at the University of London in England and studied law, but devoted himself to the study of English literature and Western music. He came to China in 1924 and wrote books and articles to express his friendship for the Chinese people. In his lifetime, he wrote more than 50 collections of poems, 12 novels, more than 100 short stories, and more than 20 plays. His main works include the poems "Twilight Song", "Morning Song", "Gitanjali", "Bird Collection", "Gardener Collection", etc.

The song "The Will of the People" was designated as the national anthem of India in 1950. It occupies an important position in the history of Indian literature. Received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. But behind the glory was his unfortunate life. He lost his mother when he was very young. Around the age of thirty-five, his beloved wife died, and a pair of lovely children also died in infancy. These misfortunes enveloped him, but they caused him to compose the softest and sweetest ode to love in the world. He wanted to spread the light of love to every corner of the world through singing. This prose poem actually expresses an ideal love between mother and child, which is sweet, tacit understanding, joyful and magical, and even has a religious color.

Tagore's imagination is so novel and wonderful, but no one who reads this poem will think that the early 20th century, when Tagore wrote this poem, was his most unfortunate time. In 1902, his wife died of illness. The next year, a pair of his children died one after another, but he was still able to write such articles full of childlike interest and maternal love. It can be seen how much love he has in his heart, love for life, love for children, love for nature, and love for everything. What a philanthropic person he is! It was love that supported him in writing great works about love. The power of love is truly great and transcends everything.

4. Bing Xin sent a message to the Indian philosopher Rabindranath Tagore

Tagore! Beautiful and majestic Tagore! When I surpassed the boundary of "infinite life" - birth, you have also crossed this boundary and released infinite light for mankind.

It’s just that I didn’t know you existed in the world——

On a night last year when the autumn wind was bleak and the moon and stars were sparse, a book accidentally introduced you to me. I read After finishing your biography and poems... I don't think about anything else, I just feel deeply clear - poignant.

Your extreme belief - your belief that "there is a great harmony between the universe and the individual soul"; your accumulation of "natural beauty" and your poems that exert "natural beauty"; all seep into it. In my mind, and my original "unspeakable" thoughts, strands of synthetic strings played ethereal, magical, toneless and silent music.

Tagore! Thank you for curing the sorrow of my talent with your beautiful poetry; thank you for comforting the loneliness of my soul with your excellent philosophy.

At this time, I kept writing late at night and wrote this text of praise and gratitude. I was just pouring out my thoughts, why should I ask you to know! However, since we are united in "Brahman", I also wrote it and you also saw it.

The night of August 30, 1920

5. Tagore’s influence on Bing Xin

Tagore and Bing Xin lived in two different countries, with an age difference of nearly 40 years. , Tagore was born in 1861, and Bing Xin was born in 1900. But Rabindranath Tagore's "The Birds" had a huge impact on Bing Xin's literary creation. Before seeing "The Collection of Flying Birds", Bing Xin's early poems were just "feelings and memories anytime and anywhere" written down casually. Later, influenced by "The Collection of Flying Birds", I felt that my little miscellaneous thoughts in a few words also contained elements of poetry, so I organized them into two small collections of poems, namely "Stars" and "Spring Water". "Stars" is the first collection of short poems in the history of modern Chinese literature. The publication of these two collections of short poems, which are subtle, meaningful, and rich in philosophy, has prompted the new poetry since the "May Fourth Movement" to enter an era of popularity of short poems.

It is not accidental that Bing Xin was influenced by Tagore, there are inevitable factors. Both of them grew up in wealthy and warm families. Rabindranath Tagore said, "When I was a child, what benefited me most was the atmosphere of literature and art that permeated my family." Bing Xin's mother is also an educated person and likes reading. Bing Xin said: "My mother is the best of the best mothers in the world." Bing Xin was deeply influenced by her family when she was young, and she began to enter the world of books at the age of five or six. The core of Tagore's philosophical thought is pantheism. "Love" has become his basic force to resolve all disputes and realize his ideals. Bing Xin attended a church school since childhood and accepted the Christian doctrine of "loving all people", which is consistent with Tagore's "philosophy of love". Therefore, Bing Xin easily accepted Tagore's philosophical thoughts. She took "praising maternal love, praising innocence, and praising nature" as the theme of her early poetry and prose creations. "The Collection of Flying Birds" is a collection of short poems about children's psychology. It writes about children's love for their mothers and the fantasy world in children's eyes. Bing Xin was inspired by this. Not only in terms of ideology, but also in terms of artistic form, "Stars" and "Spring Water" can be said to be the Chinese version of "The Birds".

Only Bing Xin got the essence of Tagore’s thought and art, and became “the most famous and beautiful Tagore’s private disciple” (Xu Zhimo’s “Tagore Comes to China”).

6. Indian Buddhist sacred object - golden flower: Indian sacred tree, magnolia, is a plant with golden yellow flowers. The translated name is also "Zhanbojia" or "Zhanbojia".

7. Regarding "Ramayana": Ancient Indians did not pay attention to their own history, especially did not pay attention to systematically recording their own history. Instead, they told the major historical events that occurred in ancient times in the form of myths and stories. or heroic deeds. "Ramayana" is an Indian narrative poem, said to have been written by Yifeng. The current form of this biography was probably formed in the second century AD. The book is divided into seven volumes, with a total of 24,000 verses, all of which narrate the life of Rama. "Ramayana", also known as "The Life of Rama", is one of the two most famous epics in Indian history. . The gods of Hinduism are as numerous as the stars, and some of the deeds that praise the gods are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Ramayana" and another "Mahabarata" are representatives. In the Middle Ages when India did not record history, it was even history. These two epics are so grand and majestic that they can be compared with Homer's epics "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". These legends are often associated with religion and are still widely circulated among the Indian people, becoming their norms of thought, behavior, moral concepts and models of life.

8. About the prayer in the article: In India, where religion is prevalent, the vast majority of Indians believe in religion. Indians believe that it is natural to believe in religion, but it is unthinkable not to believe in religion. Therefore, religion plays a very important role in India's political and cultural life. Most Indian homes have an altar or prayer room. Praying is talking to God, and reading the Bible is listening to God speak to people. Many people liken prayer to spiritual breathing and the Bible to spiritual food. Both of these are indispensable elements in spiritual life.

9. Imagery——Image in poetry is the object used to express thoughts and feelings in poetry. It can be one thing or several things together to express feelings. They are all called images.

Artistic conception - The so-called "artistic conception" refers to the realm and mood expressed by the author through image description in poetry and prose. It is the image of the blending of scenes and the coexistence of reality and reality presented in lyrical works. It also includes the aesthetic imagination space induced and developed by the author.

The characteristics of the artistic conception of ancient Chinese poetry: ① The combination of virtuality and reality ② The blending of scenes

The way of blending scenes in ancient Chinese poetry:

① Touching the scene creates emotion (scene first and emotion later) ②Integrate emotions in the scene

③Design the landscape based on emotions (first the emotion, then the scene) ④Use the scenery to express emotions

①To touch the scenery, emotions are generated, and the emotions are generated by the scenery. ②Scenery is created based on emotion, and the scenery is born from emotion

③The scenery is full of love and emotion, and the scene blends together. ④The scene is full of emotions and expresses one's heart directly.

6. Teaching process

(1) Introduction with emotional sentences (Liu Xie said: "The person who writes the text is moved by emotion and then resigns, and the person who reads the text becomes emotional after writing it) .”)

1. India in the early 20th century was a British colony. Political oppression and economic exploitation have plunged the people of this ancient country into poverty and ignorance. In order to awaken this sleeping giant, two great men came into being. One is Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the national liberation movement, and the other is Rabindranath Tagore, the greatest cultural giant in modern Indian history. In people's minds, Tagore appears as a great "singer and philosopher" in his dual identity. His works have begun to meet Chinese readers at the beginning of this century and have had a huge impact on the early creations of modern Chinese writers such as Bing Xin, Zheng Zhenduo, Guo Moruo, Xu Zhimo and others. For decades, Tagore has been the favorite of Chinese readers. One of the foreign writers. Today, let us jointly appreciate the artistic charm of Tagore's poetry.

Maternal love is like a gentle wind that blows away the falling snow and brings endless spring.

In this world, we can forget everything, but we cannot forget everything our mother has given us... Today, let us feel the great maternal love through Tagore's poems.

3. Use the song "Mother's Kiss" as the introduction, and let the sincere confession in the song touch the heartstrings of the students.

This is a song that was popular in the 1980s. After 20 years of hard work, it is still very moving today, probably because it expresses a mother’s selfless love for her children. It sings the children's deep feelings for their mother. This kind of emotion can withstand the test of time, and this kind of emotion has no geographical boundaries. This is an eternal theme that all human beings sing together.

Someone once used a pen dipped in childlike innocence to fully describe this emotion and write innocent poems. This is Rabindranath Tagore.

Mr. Ye Shengtao said: "Reciting is a learning method that uses the heart, eyes, mouth, and ears together. ... Experience it intimately, and unconsciously, the content and principles become the reader's own. This is a precious state. When learning Chinese language, you must reach this state to benefit from it throughout your life. ”

Reading aloud is both a language sense and a skill; it is both literary and literary. It’s aesthetic again. When reading aloud, you should do the following:

(1) Step by step.
