What is the significance of asking children to recite ancient poems and prose?

Perhaps, I think the understanding of this meaning is probably its function, that is, what is the function of letting children recite ancient poems and prose?

First, the cultivation of language sense

We often say that if you read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them. Reading more and memorizing ancient poetry and prose will enhance children's perception of the beauty of language, their appreciation of articles, and their reading and understanding abilities will naturally improve.

In fact, for any language, reciting can improve the sense of language.

Second, improve writing level

Many people feel very painful when writing is mentioned. Without accumulation of language and materials, how can one write a satisfactory article out of thin air? If you do it reluctantly, it may be some clichés, empty words, or you may think hard, but it will be nothing more than a blank.

If you have recited a lot of ancient poems and prose since you were a child, then your language library will be very rich. Not only will you have exquisite language sentences, but also the wisdom and thoughts of many famous people have accumulated, and writing articles will become It's easy, with both beautiful language and rich thoughts, a good article comes naturally.

Third, it can improve children’s memory.

Memory can be said to be a key to learning ability. No matter what subject you study, what major you study, or what you do, having a good memory can get twice the result with half the effort.

Any ability that you want to improve can be exercised. The same goes for memory.

Children’s memory is pretty good, much better than that of adults. When children are young, you might as well let them recite more ancient poems and prose. This will not only help them increase their literary literacy, but also exercise their memory.

In addition to the above points, children who recite more ancient poems can also improve their Chinese performance. At present, the proportion of poetry and ancient prose in Chinese language textbooks for primary and secondary schools has increased a lot compared with before, so memorizing more ancient poetry and ancient prose will definitely be beneficial to children's test-taking ability.

So reciting has so many benefits. While the children are still young and their homework is not tight, let them work hard to recite more poems and classics, enrich their language treasure house, and use it when they need it. When the time comes, you can apply what you have learned, so as not to lament that the book will be less regretful when it is used.
