Literacy and early education in kindergartens
The old headmaster of Tsinghua suggested that children's literacy should start from Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

I have a friend who has a successful career and a son in middle age, which I cherish very much. My son is only over one year old, so he sticks the corresponding Chinese characters on the doors and windows of his home, hoping that the words can enter Aiko's young mind imperceptibly. When I was a guest at her house, I didn't agree with this practice, thinking that it was a hindrance. But I didn't object too much at the time. It was only later that I occasionally heard that another friend's daughter had a brain atrophy that I became nervous. Ten years ago, this two-year-old girl could read hundreds of Chinese characters. Although it cannot be concluded that brain atrophy is directly related to premature literacy more than a decade ago, it is enough to arouse vigilance. After some consideration, I suggested that my friend take off the Chinese characters on the door and window and enlighten my son with the method of "physical pictures-Oracle Bone Inscriptions inscriptions-modern Chinese characters". In the eyes of ordinary people, Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the knowledge studied by the old gentleman and scholar. It seems that adding Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscriptions to the enlightenment of "physical pictures-modern Chinese characters" did not help the seedlings grow, but simply helped them fly. As we all know, Chinese characters are difficult to learn. It is difficult for children to read them. Wouldn't it be worse to recognize Oracle Bone Inscriptions? To tell you the truth, I always thought so. It's embarrassing to say, because of the Cultural Revolution, I never went to middle school seriously after the sixth grade of primary school. 1978 after I was admitted to the university, I studied engineering, and I didn't know much about the bronze inscriptions in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Until a few years ago, when I came into contact with Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscriptions in order to find out the meaning of civilized time units, I was shocked by her charm. While trying to establish the internal relationship between the time unit of "year" and agricultural production mode, I "accidentally" found that the word "year" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions itself is the concentrated expression of agricultural production mode. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's inscription "Year, from grain to people, indicates a bumper harvest if people push grain". It vividly and accurately expresses the input-output cycle of spring sowing and autumn harvest in agricultural production. The year in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is not only an abstract symbol representing the time unit, but also a vivid expression of the relationship between man and nature in time and space. From this, I realize that Chinese characters are not just a symbol, but a Chinese character itself may be a philosophy and an article. They are the way for our ancestors to know nature and understand life. For example, Oracle bone inscriptions depict bronze inscriptions, such as cattle, horses, boats and pots, which are fascinating. From these beautiful hieroglyphics, you can understand why Chinese characters have calligraphy, why the civilization before modern times in China is so splendid, and why China has maintained a unified trend for thousands of years ... The reason why Chinese characters have calligraphy lies in the aesthetic feeling of Chinese characters. Then why does Pinyin lack aesthetic feeling? What is beauty? How much ink did people spend to answer this question? In fact, the answer existed even before words appeared. In the rock paintings of primitive people tens of thousands of years ago, the aesthetic feeling is not inferior. What elements support the charm of the original work? The most important thing is not rarity or remoteness, but nature. Sunrise and moonset, mountains and rivers, any child knows that it is beautiful without teaching. The beauty of nature is not only that it is the most reasonable, but also that people who appreciate it are also the products of nature. Man exists because he is connected with the earth, the sun, the moon and the vegetation. Without nature, there would be no human being. Like all things, man is the son of nature. A child can know the beauty of nature without teaching, because he actually doesn't understand beauty with his head, but experiences beauty with his flesh and blood. The essence of beauty lies in people's experience and appreciation of their own existence. As hieroglyphics, the Oracle Bone Inscriptions on the inscriptions not only performs its symbolic function, but also quietly conveys the direct information of the objects they want to express-the diversity of nature. As the only uninterrupted civilization in the world, the Chinese characters used in China today are directly related to the inscriptions in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Therefore, the beauty of Chinese calligraphy comes from the beauty of nature itself.

Chinese characters carry more information than foreigners' pinyin characters. Chinese characters are not only a symbol, but also a picture. The information conveyed by a picture is often difficult to express in thousands of words.

From the perspective of learning rules, the process of learning to recognize Chinese characters is always the other way around. Only by remembering the symbolic meaning of Chinese characters can we understand her natural attributes. I remember learning to read when I was a child. Only a few Chinese characters are related to objects. For example, the teacher said that "horse" expresses a horse with four legs and dragging its tail. Unfortunately, I didn't see Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin Wen. The rule of the word "horse" is that there are physical horses first, then pictographic horses with Oracle characters, and finally horses printed today. The process of the word "horse" was originally in line with human cognitive process: direct perception-memory representation-abstract thinking. But the process of learning to recognize Chinese characters is still from physical objects to symbols. Why not add Oracle Bone Inscriptions's inscription to the two-stage teaching process of "Object Map-Modern Chinese Characters", thus becoming a three-stage learning plan of "Object Map-Oracle Bone Inscriptions Inscription-Modern Chinese Characters"? It is almost as easy for children to identify Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which has a close pictographic relationship with the real thing, as it is to identify the pictures of the real thing itself (such as the pictures of cows, horses, boats and pots in the chart attached to this article). These Oracle Bone Inscriptions can build a godsend bridge between physical pictures and Chinese characters. In the face of physical pictures, children's imitation graffiti may even be similar to Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscriptions. The three-stage literacy program not only conforms to people's cognitive laws, but also makes the literacy process full of fun. More importantly, it can cultivate the beauty of Chinese characters, the harmony of nature, the pride of the nation and the pride of civilization in the pure and young hearts of children. Chinese seal? Dancing Beijing, the emblem of Beijing Olympic Games, has made great contributions to expanding the cultural map of the Chinese nation in the information age.

There are hundreds of Chinese characters in Chinese that are closely related to objects in terms of reference, pictograph, meaning and sound. If the earliest Chinese characters recognized by children in China are obtained through the program of "Object Map-Oracle Characters-Modern Chinese Characters", will their literacy process become happy? Will their way of looking at the world improve? Will the quality of the whole nation be improved? Under the threat of the sharp deterioration of the earth's biosphere and the aggressive clash of civilizations, isn't the three-stage literacy method a century-long plan for the survival and development of the Chinese nation? Why did a preschool children's literacy program become a century-old project? This is because the three-stage program of "object map-Oracle characters-modern Chinese characters" cannot be compensated by the model of "object map-modern Chinese characters-Oracle characters". Like me, I know Chinese characters first, and then I get in touch with Oracle Bone Inscriptions's inscriptions. At best, I only understand the beauty of some Chinese characters in my mind, but it is impossible to melt their beauty into my blood. The first reaction of a Chinese character is its meaning, not its beauty. I missed the link of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscription in the literacy stage, so I'm afraid I can only have the aesthetic feeling of knowing Chinese characters in my life, and it's hard to have a direct aesthetic feeling. In this sense, we and even our children have been delayed. When recommending the three-stage literacy method to my friend, I said to her, "It's a pity that when my son was young, he knew nothing about the bronze inscriptions in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Life is irreversible, and so is the process of recognizing Chinese characters through Oracle Bone Inscriptions's inscriptions. I hope you will seize the opportunity to train your son well. " She replied, "You haven't taught your son, but you can also teach your grandson!" " A person's literacy plan will inevitably affect his lifelong cultivation. How will the process of rote memorization from generation to generation affect the quality of a nation? The direct motive of writing this article is to recommend a book about children's literacy, Oracle Bone Inscriptions Children's Literacy and Painting, to friends who have preschool children at home. Wang Run Chengzhu 20 1 1 Beijing Arts and Science Publishing House. I thought at that time that it would be great if I could give her son a three-stage literacy book "Physical Map-Oracle Characters-Modern Chinese Characters" suitable for children. Now that this idea has come true, China's children are blessed!
