Wu Yishu feels that there are many feelings in ancient poetry that modern people can't give her. The result of the competition is not important, as long as she still likes poetry, as long as she still enjoys the happiness brought by poetry, that's enough.
That's really good. Ancient poetry has a kind of magic, which can give people happiness. Wu himself fell in love with ancient poetry, so have any students been forced to recite ancient poetry?
Of course, there seems to be many more.
If you think about it carefully, ancient poetry is really not as interesting as the story book that is addictive to reading, but why are there so many people reciting ancient poetry?
-Forced!

Once, I had dinner with my best friend. Chatting, I talked about the experience of being forced by my parents to recite ancient poems when I was a child. My girlfriend's husband, who graduated from the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University with a Ph.D. (he is older than us, so we call him "Brother Zhang"), can't help talking.
At first, brother Zhang thought it was nonsense to recite this thing. Every time he takes a Chinese exam, he only gives a few questions, most of which are from textbooks. Why recite so many extracurricular songs? When I was a child, I didn't know how many sticks my mother beat me for reciting ancient poems. He was very angry. He hated those ancient literati and poets.
Zhang Ge recalled the past and said, "My mother has no culture, but she always tries to borrow some ancient books with a sense of the times from other places to show me. When I was in primary school, I didn't want to recite Tang poetry and Song poetry, so my mother chased me with a stick. I had no choice but to recite ancient poems. When do you recite it? Recite it to mom loudly. She just stopped chasing.
I remember once, in summer, my mother hated iron and chased me for a long time. Because she ran too fast, she tripped over a stone, and her ankle was bleeding, which scared me to recite 20 ancient poems in succession, so that she could show me mercy. "
He also secretly complained about his mother, thinking that her heart was too cruel and made his childhood monotonous. The little boy in their village, when he was four or five years old, would climb trees, dig birds' eggs and roll in the mud. He is seven or eight years old, and he still doesn't know what it smells like. But carrying, carrying, he gradually fell in love with poetry, found it catchy and fun, and began to enjoy it, no longer needing his mother to push him back.
Slowly, I grew up and began to appreciate the beauty in poetry:
In spring, when I see peach blossoms in full bloom, I know what "peach flies and burns its flowers."
In summer, when I saw a pool full of lotus leaves, I knew what it meant to be "the next day, the lotus leaves are infinitely bright, and the next day, the lotus flowers are red."
In autumn, when I saw the falling yellow leaves, I knew what it meant to be "the old xiaoxiang tree with the west wind, and the yellow leaves danced away from sorrow."
In winter, when I see snow, I know what it means. "Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night and blows away the petals of ten thousand pear trees."
……
Those ancient poems that have been recited are quietly buried in the soil of memory. One day, when I met a certain scenery and a certain state of mind on my trip, I suddenly realized that I understood that poem, that sentence, that painting, that feeling that had gone through thousands of years.
People who read a lot of poetry books, even when writing love letters and falling in love, don't have to talk about disgusting words like "I love you and miss you" every day. They can also make the wine of love sweet and refreshing with the charm of poetry.
Zhang Ge and his wife many years ago, one was a doctor in Beijing; One is studying for a master's degree in Shanghai. Although it's long past the time of Biography of Hongyan, the classic love poems in sincere emails are the best annotation of their tenderness:
"The golden wind and the jade dew meet, winning countless people." , "life and death are rich, Zicheng said. Hold your hand and grow old with your son. " "When there is poverty in the corner of the world, there is only endless acacia." "It's not old, it's hard to get rid of. The heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot inside. " "Tender as water, ritual like a dream. If the relationship lasts for a long time, it will not be in court. " "Although my body doesn't have bright phoenix wings, I can feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn."
Ask brother Zhang, when I was a child, I was forced to recite ancient poems. What experience will I have when I grow up? Will I still resent my mother's past aggressiveness?
Brother Zhang said with deep feelings, "By persisting in reciting ancient poems, I have gained two great pleasures in life-a heart that is good at discovering and perceiving beauty, and a happy love in two of a kind! Growing up slowly, my mind is mature. I am so grateful to my mother for her strict requirements in the past. How can I resent it! "

Speaking of being forced to recite ancient poems, I think of my Chinese teacher in high school. The classmates affectionately call her Cao Ma, a little old lady who can do magic. She has a deep love for China's profound culture. She can tell us all the writers, works and allusions through the ages.
She took over the mess in our class when she was a sophomore. In the words of the principal at that time, the phenomenon of partiality in our class is rare. There are as many as 20 parallel classes, which are among the best in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but the Chinese scores in the class can be steadily ranked last, which shows how bad it is!
After Cao Ma took over the language of our class, she resolutely implemented the policy of "copying ancient poems if a word is inconsistent".
She once gave us a dense list of reciting ancient poems in the first class. In each class, without saying a word, draw people to recite the designated ancient poems first. If you can't recite it, you'll be miserable. No matter how long the article is, you should honestly copy it 20 times! Until you can recite it fluently!
She consulted with the teachers in the school library and tailored an extended reading course for our class. She took us to the library, forced us to read ancient poetry books, and was caught by Cao Ma, who ordered her to read in the library and extract all her spare time for the next week.
Cao Ma's "high pressure policy" was initially resisted by many students. The little prick in the class incited everyone to boycott privately, saying that there was no need to recite what the ancients said. If you have time, you might as well brush a few more math and physics questions. The effect of grading is leverage. But in the end, Cao Ma surrendered one by one and joined the recitation.
Cao Ma is really a famous teaching expert. The recitation of ancient poems gives us a new understanding of diction, sentence formation, article structure and ingenious conception. More importantly, everyone began to ignite their love for Chinese studies.
In less than a semester, the Chinese scores of our class have reached a "turning point". What is even more surprising is that our class scored the third in the province on average in the college entrance examination! Climbing Chinese scores have made many people realize their college dream of 2 1 1/985! In the following study and life, everyone tacitly maintained their love for ancient poetry.
To ask Cao Ma what it was like to be forced to recite ancient poems, many of me would say:
How many literati seem to come from the depths of history, pointing out the maze, comforting the soul and pointing out the direction for people who love ancient poetry. The essence of those cultures has melted into the blood, becoming elegant and decent in daily conversation and gentle and gentle in daily behavior.

Next, let's take a look at how ancient poetry quickly distinguishes people's cultural realm.
For example, if you meet a beautiful girl, a lout will only say: I am X, beautiful! However, people who have read the Book of Songs can easily draw the following conclusion: "Guan Guan's dove is in Hezhou; The beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. "
For example, in the face of seeing beautiful scenery, what comes to mind is not the dry "beautiful", but the charming artistic conception of "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn waters are * * * and the sky is one color".
The profound cultural accumulation of ancient poetry has many advantages, such as saving embarrassing Chinese achievements, improving people's aesthetic level, making love more meaningful and lasting, and making speech more elegant and decent. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is even harder to persist!
Reciting is, after all, a boring but persistent thing. Without energy, how can we taste the fragrance of knowledge? Do adults relent at first when they see their children making a fool of themselves and let them live naturally?
In other words, you are not helping the child, but watching the child go to mediocrity instead of helping him!
We don't expect our children to become great poets when they grow up. We just hope that she can enjoy reading and reciting, improve her cultural accomplishment and taste, and live high will always be full of spirit wherever she is.

Please don't think that forcing children to recite ancient poems is killing their playful nature. The birth of interest is often not without reason, and how much strong interest begins with helpless persecution!
When accompanying, urging and even forcing children to recite ancient poems, the test is not only persistence, but also adults' understanding of life, time management and responsibility to children. At the same time, in the long journey of life, children also need to practice and slowly realize:
Nothing can be successful overnight. Only by investing time, energy and perseverance can we touch that clear spring!
What kind of experience do children who are forced to recite ancient poems when they are young grow up?
At the beginning of falling in love with ancient poetry, it was a bit reluctant. The vast majority will still be glad that they have been influenced by ancient poetry culture since childhood, which will still make them feel very happy!
