Second, the difficulties and key analysis
1. How does the author use direct lyric sentences to run through the whole text?
Analysis: direct lyric, running through the full text. Directly lyrical at the beginning: "Poplar is really extraordinary, I praise Poplar!" "Set the tone of full-text praise and praise. Then he described the magnificent background of the Loess Plateau where poplars grew, and directly expressed his feelings: "That's the poplar, …" Then the author described the appearance of poplar in detail, and directly expressed his feelings: "That's the poplar, …" Then he described the inner beauty of poplar, and revealed the symbolic meaning of poplar in a direct lyric way: "It symbolizes the farmers in the north, especially the spirit of our nation. Finally, the author directly expressed his feelings and pushed the praise of poplar to the peak: "I want to praise poplar loudly!" " "
2. How does the author observe and express "beauty" from an aesthetic point of view?
Analysis: Praise of Poplar is a "beautiful article" full of noble aesthetic taste everywhere. The article describes the "environmental beauty" of poplar growth from the beginning. The magnificent loess plateau, like the peaks of distant mountains side by side, gives people a magnificent feeling. Next, the article describes the "formal beauty" of poplar from four aspects: stem, branch, leaf and bark. Its stem is straight, its branches are upward, its leaves are upward, its epidermis is smooth, and it has silver halo. Through meticulous description, the "beauty of appearance" of poplar is vividly presented to readers. But the main idea of the article is to show the "inner beauty" of poplar, which is majestic, upright, simple and serious, and gentle. Then it reveals its symbolic beauty: it not only symbolizes the farmers in the north, but also symbolizes the simple, strong and enterprising spirit of our nation.
3. What is the clue of this article "praising" poplars?
Analysis: Take "praising" the "extraordinary" of poplar as a clue.
At the beginning of the article, it is pointed out that the reason why "I praise poplar" lies in its "extraordinary". Then, by introducing the growth environment of poplar, introducing the "standing proudly" poplar, and then describing the external image and internal temperament of poplar, highlighting its "extraordinary" characteristics and repeatedly praising it as "an extraordinary tree"; Then, closely following this "extraordinary", we expand association and imagination, and reveal its symbolic significance from trees and people, further indicating: "I praise poplar because it not only symbolizes farmers in the north, but also symbolizes the indispensable simplicity, strength and enterprising spirit in our national liberation struggle today." So it came naturally, revealing the main idea of the whole article. Finally, the barrel wood is skillfully used as a contrast to show the "extraordinary" of poplar trees, and even the voice of "I want to praise poplar trees loudly" is impassioned. From then on, from the beginning of caring, focus on emotions, highlight the center, and make the body (clumsy feet, clumsy scars, dragging thorium seeds, and rubbing crabs with snails).
4. How does this article skillfully use contrast to contrast?
Analysis: At the beginning, the environment of poplar growth-Northwest Plateau was explained, which set a broad background for the following introduction of poplar, rendered a rough and heroic atmosphere, grasped the characteristics of "yellow-green dominance", and highlighted "grandeur" and "greatness", which played a positive role in describing the shape and color of poplar below. At the same time, "monotony" and "drowsiness" are compared with the "standing proudly" of poplar, which plays a comparative role; When describing the shape and spirit of poplar, it repeatedly compares "a very ordinary tree in the northwest" with "an extraordinary tree" and "an extraordinary tree" to highlight the beauty of poplar; Then, regarding its appearance, the metaphor of "Poplar is not a good woman in the tree" is changed to "It is a gentleman in the tree", which is both beautiful in form and spirit. At the end of the article, poplar and nanmu are compared, the reactionaries are denounced, and the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians under the leadership of the party are praised loudly, which shows the distinct love-hate relationship and fighting style of the article.
5. How many pictures are summarized in this paper? What does it reflect?
The full text * * * outlines and depicts four pictures: plateau landscape, poplar prospect, poplar concrete picture, and association picture of things and people (anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines). Each picture is full of poetry, which can enlighten people with emotion and edify people's thoughts.
It is with reverence that the author enthusiastically praised the "extraordinary" of these pictures, thus forming a whole (beautiful pictures, beautiful literature and more beautiful emotions).
6. What are the main writing features of this essay?
Analysis: Symbolism is used to praise poplars. Symbol is an artistic technique to express some ideas, thoughts and emotions through a concrete and easily associated image. Symbol and ontology have some similar characteristics, which can be linked through readers' imagination and association. For example, candles, aboveboard, burn themselves and illuminate the specific image of others, which can remind us of the lofty spirit of self-sacrifice. Therefore, candles are a symbol of self-sacrifice.
The function of symbolism is firstly to show abstract things as concrete and perceptible images. Secondly, you can make the article more subtle and give it profound meaning with what is in front of you. For example, the author of this paper places his admiration for farmers in the north on the concrete description and incisive exposition of poplar. This description runs through the whole article. Therefore, this paper adopts the symbolic technique of expressing emotion by holding objects.

The author saw the future and hope of the Chinese nation from the people in the liberated areas and was encouraged. He wrote essays such as Praise of Poplar with passion.

3. Learn the first paragraph.
Q: What role does the opening sentence play in the full text?
Clarity: (1) Point out the topic. (2) The reason for praise is "extraordinary". What kind of "extraordinary" does "truth" emphasize? The following will take this as a clue and describe it from different aspects.
4. Learn the second paragraph.
Name the students reading paragraphs 2 ~ 4.
After praising the poplar at first, the author did not directly describe the poplar itself. He changed a pen and took the reader to the endless loess plateau with a kind and soothing style. Play a slide show of poplars and the Loess Plateau. )
What is the author's overall impression of the Loess Plateau?
Clear: I feel that the Loess Plateau is like "a big felt".
What word does the author use to describe the scenery of the Loess Plateau?
Yellow-green complex: loess-"great natural force" wheat wave-"achievements of human labor overcoming nature" (color)
Infinite: There is no margin. (space)
As flat as a stone; As flat as a millstone. (topography)
A magnificent and vast loess plateau landscape "broke into" the field of vision. How do people feel?
The first is "grandeur" and "greatness". Because the car has been driving on the endless plateau for a long time, people feel "tired" and "monotonous". At this time, "fierce eyes" saw the poplar "standing proudly like a sentry", and people's spirit did it one brace up. The image that the author wants to praise-poplar, miraculously appeared, and it was at that time that "a cry of surprise" was issued.
What changes have taken place in the author's perspective?
Seen from a distance, the author shrinks from face to point. From a row, three or five plants, to one plant.
The fourth paragraph points out that it is poplar, and "that" echoes the above-mentioned "far" at a distance, which means far.
Why are poplars "extremely ordinary" and "really extraordinary"?
It is extremely common and easy to grow, so it is "extremely common"; It is said that it is "really extraordinary" because in the monotonous mood of "tired and sleepy", the appearance of poplar is surprising, sobering and exciting.
What is the role of describing plateau scenery?
Poplar trees grow on the vast fertile soil, stand upright under the background of "grandeur" and "greatness", and take root and sprout in the warm and generous embrace of Mother Earth. Extraordinary environment has cultivated extraordinary poplars. The environment and background are integrated with poplar, rendering the atmosphere and setting off poplar.
5. Learn the third paragraph.
Analysis: Now please read the third paragraph (paragraphs 5 and 6) of the article and think about the following questions while reading: (1) Which word is used in the article to always write the image of poplar? What are the specific parts of poplar? What are their characteristics and profound meanings? (2) Which word has been used in the article to describe the character of poplar? What other words are used below to describe it? What's the meaning?
After the students read and discussed, the teacher concluded:
When describing the image of poplar, the author summed up the general characteristics of poplar image with the words "strive for the upper reaches" and personalized poplar with anthropomorphic methods. The following are their characteristics from four aspects: stem, branch, leaf and bark. Dry, highlight its straightness; Branch, emphasizing its straightness and compactness; Leaves, write on them; Skin, mainly write it "slightly light blue". Through the description of these characteristics, it gives people the impression of integrity, unity, enterprising, simplicity and striving for the upper reaches, which is very profound.
Blackboard writing:
When describing the character of poplar, the author always uses "stubbornness and integrity" to describe its character, and deepens it with words such as "towering" and "unyielding", which highlights the strong and unyielding struggle character of poplar in a sinister environment.
Blackboard writing:
The overall character is stubborn and upright.
This passage describes the image beauty and spiritual beauty of poplar, so that people can see its extraordinary spirit through its extraordinary image, thus generating reverence and praise. The sixth paragraph of the article expresses this feeling again, highlighting the extraordinary poplar.
Let the students read paragraphs 5 and 6, and let them read out their feelings.
6 Assign students to read paragraph 7 and discuss:
(l) How many levels can this paragraph be divided into? Why is poplar a "great husband" (students are required to underline key words)? In what way?
The author makes it clear first, and then takes a step back with negative sentences: Poplar has "no swaying posture" and "no curved branches". Because of different aesthetic standards, it is recognized that poplars are not good women on trees. This is repression. Then, at one turn, he enthusiastically praised him as a "man on the tree" with seven highly emotional compliments, such as Wei 'an, integrity, simplicity, seriousness, gentleness, fortitude and honest and frank. This is "Yang". This is the first level. Praise poplars with contrast and contrast.
(2) How does the article develop from tree to human association? How to deepen four coordinate rhetorical questions sentence by sentence?
In "The Second Floor", the author draws the reader's attention to the plateau where the first snow melts with a cordial heart-to-heart style, and writes the symbolic meaning of poplar with four questions. The meaning expands and deepens one by one, which is thought-provoking. The first sentence, the transition between trees and people, inspires people to think deeply. It should not be just a tree, so what should it be? The last three "don't" write its symbolic meaning from the simple to the deep. Words such as "I don't think", "I don't think" and "I won't consider it further" reflect deeper meanings. The second sentence starts with the character of poplar, pointing out that Yang "at least" symbolizes "simple, earnest, strong and unyielding" northern farmers. The third sentence starts with the image of poplar "standing proudly", which symbolizes that it is a strong and unyielding sentry, guarding his hometown behind enemy lines. The fourth sentence, starting from the quality of Populus alba, symbolizes its spirit and will as an anti-Japanese army and people and the whole Chinese nation under the leadership of China's * * * production party. Feelings were sublimated and the article reached its climax.
(3) Let students turn four rhetorical questions into declarative sentences, compare their oral expressions and realize the function of rhetorical questions.
① Correct sentence conversion is needed.
Statement: You should not only think of …, you should think of …, you should also think of …, you should think of … further.
② Read aloud to understand the tone.
The declarative sentence has a general tone, the rhetorical question contains questions and answers, and the affirmative meaning is expressed in the form of rhetorical questions. Coupled with the rhetorical question in the form of parallelism, it strengthens the momentum and is more certain and powerful.
4. Write down on the blackboard with slides:
7. Read the eighth paragraph aloud, think and discuss:
What's the difference between this praise for poplars and paragraphs 1, 4, 6 and 8?
Teacher's guidance: The author directly links poplar trees with farmers in the north and summarizes their similarities: first, they are "extremely ordinary and not valued" and second, they are "extremely vigorous". This paper expounds the reasons for praising poplars with progressive complex sentences.
In this article, the author uses affirmative sentences and has a positive discussion, which more clearly emphasizes the symbolic significance of poplar.
Students read paragraphs 5 ~ 8 in groups, and are required to read rhetorical tone, pay attention to stress and pause.
8. Name the ninth paragraph that the students read aloud.
(1) What does "aristocrats seize wood" symbolize?
Commentary: Comrade Mao Dun replied: "Noble firewood collection symbolizes reactionaries. This is how I wrote this essay. "
(2) What is the purpose of writing Nanmu?
At the end, through the comparison between Nanmu and Poplar, the extraordinary of Poplar is emphasized again, which is in contrast with the die-hards' point of view, indicating that the author has a clear love-hate relationship, praises the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and rebukes the * * * reactionaries who are "active and passive in anti-Japanese", which echoes the beginning of the article.
9. What is symbolism? What's the difference between it and metaphor?
Symbol is an artistic technique to express concepts, thoughts or feelings with similar or similar characteristics through a concrete image that is easy to cause association. It is only used to express people's quality or organizational nature, and is generally suitable for lyric works. Metaphor can be used to express the essence of anything. Generally speaking, metaphors are scattered throughout the article.
10. Symbolism is used throughout this article. What image is used to express what feelings?
Symbolism, first of all, is to choose an image that can arouse readers' association and describe it by grasping the typical characteristics of this image. Poplar's tall and straight, upward but extremely ordinary characteristics are perfectly and harmoniously unified with the anti-Japanese military and civilian image under the leadership of the party in the writer's mind. The author dedicated all his bright political views and passionate feelings of praising the party and the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to poplar trees.
1 1. Understand the characteristics of prose "scattered in form but not scattered in spirit".
Prose often has a clue in structure, integrating materials into a whole, and the author can develop rich associations around the center. For example, the description of the loess plateau seems to be a careless pen that deviates from the center, but it is not. Its function has been analyzed before. At the end of the article, nanmu is also used as a contrast to contrast and praise poplar trees. We can call this feature "scattered in form and scattered in spirit", which is also reflected in the neat, powerful and rhythmic language form.
12. Summarize the full text and grasp the lyric clues of the full text.
This paper takes the "extraordinary" of poplar as a lyric clue. 1, 4, 6 and 8 respectively eulogize the "extraordinary" of poplar, with similar sentence patterns and deeper meanings. The word "extraordinary" appears repeatedly, which strongly expresses the author's thoughts and feelings, making the article perfectly combine extraordinary "scenery", extraordinary "shape" and extraordinary "spirit", and the image of poplar is vividly displayed in front of us. In our hearts, it is a typical image full of infinite vitality and fighting passion.

Name the students who want to read Note ①. Clear: The purpose of the author's writing this article is to praise the people in the anti-Japanese base areas.
What does "praise" mean in the title of the text? "Lee" is a salute and "praise" is a compliment. The title means to pay tribute and praise to poplar.
The purpose of the author's writing and the title of the text seem to be two different things, but they are not. Why?
Explain the writing background: Praise of Poplar was written in 194 1 Chongqing. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek actively fought against Japan. Japanese imperialism carried out crazy "mopping up" the anti-Japanese armed forces and liberated areas led by China Producers' Party. China * * * Production Party actively mobilized the masses to strengthen anti-Japanese forces. 1940 In May, Mao Dun visited Yan 'an and gave lectures at Lu Xun Art College. From Yan 'an to Chongqing with Comrade Dong in June, 5438+00. During this period, Mao Dun personally heard and witnessed the boiling life of the people in the anti-Japanese base areas under the leadership of the Party, experienced the simple, strong, United and hard-working spirit of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, was deeply encouraged, was full of confidence in the bright future of national liberation, and wrote essays such as Praise of Poplar with passion. Because the author lived in the * * * ruling area at that time, he had no freedom of speech and could not express his thoughts directly, so he used symbolic means to express his thoughts and feelings and enthusiastically praised the heroic and unyielding struggle spirit of the anti-Japanese army and people and our nation under the leadership of the * * * production party.

The fourth part.
(1) Read the seventh paragraph aloud.
After the description of poplar in the third part (paragraphs 5 and 6), the author made lyrical comments on it.
Q: What are the specific comments? In what way? (Write it on the blackboard during the discussion)
The author praised Poplar as a "great husband" and used four words "Don't ..."? "This sentence pattern stimulates readers to think and expand their association.
Q: "Really ...? "What sentence pattern is it? (rhetorical question)
The first sentence "don't" guides readers to think about poplars;
The second sentence "Yao" guides readers to associate the quality of poplar with the quality of farmers in the north;
The third sentence "don't" is further linked from the tenacity of poplar trees and the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians standing proudly behind enemy lines;
The fourth "don't" sentence is that the branches and leaves of poplar are closely United, linking the spirit of striving for the upper reaches with the spirit and will to write the history of new China with blood.
What rhetorical devices do the four rhetorical questions constitute? (parallel). This set of parallelism sentences inspires readers to think deeply from the outside to the inside.
Q: Have you grasped the author's intention in connection with the background of the times?
Clear: I understand that the author not only praised the trees, but also praised the farmers in the north and the China * * * Production Party, which organized and led the revolutionary masses. This kind of writing is called symbol. Symbol is a writing method, not a rhetorical method such as personification and metaphor. Personification and metaphor are only expressed in sentences, and symbols are expressed in texts. The author gives some meaning to what is described.
Q: Why does the author use symbolism?
Clear: Because the author is in the Kuomintang-controlled area, he can't praise the base area and eulogize the * * * production party.
Part V (paragraphs 8 and 9).
(1) Read aloud (paragraph 8) and see the relationship between the sentences in this paragraph and the main sentences (or words indicating the main idea) in the previous paragraph.
Clear: ① The sentence "Populus alba is an extraordinary tree, which is extremely common in the northwest and neglected by people, just like farmers in the north" conforms to the sentence in the fourth paragraph "That is Populus alba, an extremely ordinary tree in the northwest, but it is really an extraordinary tree". (2) The sentence "It has a strong vitality, can't be broken, can't stand oppression, and is similar to farmers in the north." In the fifth natural section, "this is a tree that stands tenaciously despite the oppression of the northern snow" and "stands tall and resists the northwest wind". I praise poplar, because it not only symbolizes the farmers in the north, but also symbolizes the simple, strong and enterprising spirit that is indispensable in our national liberation struggle today. In line with the seventh natural paragraph, "symbolizing the farmers in the north", "simple, earnest, strong, unyielding" and "striving for progress".
It can be seen that this paragraph is a summary of the full text, explaining the reasons for praising poplar, pointing out the theme of the full text and revealing the symbolic significance of poplar.
(2) Read the ninth paragraph aloud.
The image description of the poplar itself and the revelation of its symbolic significance have been written. Why write this short paragraph?
First of all, it is necessary to find out what "aristocrats grasp wood" means. In 1978, the author replied to a reader that "the aristocrat's grasping for wood symbolizes * * * reactionaries", and made the theme more profound by comparing nanmu with poplar. Finally, praise the poplar in a high-spirited tone, echoing the beginning and end of the full text, and expressing the feelings more warmly.
