None of this matters, because I'm not going to say in front of everyone, whether I'm qualified or not, at least my knowledge of education in China is limited to books, advertisements and television ... I may not even have the most basic right to speak without personal experience!
(Sun Jing School)
Coincidentally, it coincides with the annual 5.20 activity of Sunwell School, and I have the opportunity to thoroughly experience the preschool education in China! In the process of this experience, it really shocked me and completely subverted my understanding of "preschool education in China"!
I'm not going to share my trip with you, so I'll try to pick the key points and tell you my true feelings!
(photo taken with the temple)
(Super Queli)
When we arrived at Sun Jing School, after the wonderful launching ceremony of the temple, we were greeted by a grand ceremony, which opened the door of the school and walked through the Six Arts Avenue (the ancient gentleman's six arts: ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and counting, you don't need to explain it here, you can check it yourself), and then officially entered Sun Jing, which covers an area of 100 mu.
(Open the school door)
Apprenticeship ceremony
The first experience is the teacher's ceremony. The greetings between teachers and students that we are familiar with have become more solemn here. When teachers and students meet, they must bow (female's right hand presses her left hand, male's left hand presses her right hand, hands are hidden in sleeves, hands are raised, bow 90 degrees, then get up, hands follow Qi Mei, and then hands are put down). In addition, she must worship her ancestors (the third division: Confucius and Dong)
(Salute to the teacher)
The whole process was solemn and grand, and the word that impressed me the most was "tired"! This tedious and exquisite etiquette is enough to show that the ancients attached importance to etiquette and let children know manners from an early age. The so-called "righteousness" of childhood should be like this. This suddenly reminds me of an entrepreneur's words, "People with high emotional intelligence in this world are easy to succeed. If everyone likes him, he will have more opportunities." The "EQ" referred to here is not necessarily have it both ways's ability to kiss up to others, but the "education" I heard since I was a child and my personality made me know how to respect others and know how to be polite from the heart!
Isn't "respecting morality and valuing ceremony" an excellent traditional culture in China? Isn't it the spirit that should be passed down? Let children accept the infection of traditional culture from an early age, and suddenly feel particularly important in my heart!
We often say that temperament is from the inside out, and only when there are poems and books can we enjoy ourselves! This requires accumulated learning and long-term continuous infiltration, rather than a simple reading and learning ceremony.
I hope my child is a gentleman from an early age, honest, humble and filial. It is these beautiful wishes that make me have to reconsider the way of educating him. At the age of kindergarten, as a parent, I should give them the meaning of "respecting morality and attaching importance to ceremony", rather than the unchangeable "hard truth" lying in books.
So this excellent traditional culture, the concept of preschool education in China, can only be made clear by this simple ceremony? Of course not. This is what I am curious about. How can this excellent culture be passed on to the next generation? Bad memory?
However, the following experience surprised me. How can children not like this teaching method? How to learn?
There is less gossip, and books and articles are linked together. After I went through the teacher's ceremony again, I deeply felt the importance of letting children know etiquette, filial piety and morality from an early age. So I have doubts (how to make children enjoy learning, love learning, learn well, understand, remember and use? ), continue to open Sun Jingtang's Chinese preschool education 1 day study tour, hoping to find the answer in the next experience!
(Pot throwing ceremony)
Pot throwing ceremony
When it comes to throwing pots, the first thing that comes to my mind is the hit drama "Do you know? Not long ago. I don't think it is the entertainment of ancient people to smash the pot. Is there any mystery? I really can't think of any connection between playing this game and respecting morality and ceremony!
After the throwing ceremony, my first feeling was that I was still unfinished! However, this whole process, I remember and feel more than just "fun"!
In ancient times, the host would hold a grand banquet at home to entertain distinguished guests. This throwing pot was originally a way of entertainment after dinner, but what I experienced here was "learning while playing"! Simulate the scene at that time and feel it!
Two futons are placed side by side in front of the pot.
Host and guest greet each other.
The host lives on the left and the guest lives on the right.
Kneel on the futon
The host first comity: please.
The guest replied, please.
The host gave way again: you are a guest, after you.
Guest reply: You are the host, after you.
Master Sanrang: Please.
Guest three times: OK.
The guest holds an arrow feather (the number of arrow feathers of the host and the guest must be the same)
Keep your upper body straight, hold the sword feather for less than 5 seconds, aim and throw it steadily.
Calculate the score after the end
Host and guest greet each other.
Stay away from each other
end
After reading the above clip, I believe everyone can feel where the ceremony of throwing the pot is. In the process of "playing", along with the process of learning etiquette, this kind of education method can make excellent traditional culture get better inheritance!
Among them, holding the arrow feather to complete the whole process of throwing the pot is both entertainment and "interview". The posture of the pot thrower, the time of throwing the pot and the conversation during eating can not only reflect whether the pot thrower's personality is urgent or slow, floating or steady, but also observe his temperament education.
Of course, different people have different views, and everyone has learned different things, but these have benefited me a lot, and I should also say that the gentlemanly temperament of children who respect morality and courtesy must be infiltrated!
To learn China's traditional culture well, Sun Jingxuetang's first answer to me was to use interest to guide, not to copy it mechanically; Breaking the pot is not just entertainment, there are many manners and reasons in this entertainment.
(step on the drum and read the classics)
Followed by the experience of reading classics, three-character classics! But this way completely subverts my impression of a group of children who shake their heads and say that "nature is good at the beginning of life"! Instead, read the classics while dancing, and teach the teacher to explain in detail the origin of the drum, what material it is, where it is played, and how to jump in the end!
I have experienced it many times, but I am really tired. But during the break, I found that my mind was full of rhythm, body movements and three-character classics, and I unconsciously completed a "recitation action". I can't believe I remembered so much at once!
This shocked me again. So reading classics can be like this! Sun Jing School has spent seven years and invested heavily in curriculum research and development, so that the inheritance of traditional culture is no longer empty talk, which is not a waste of time!
(sand painting learning)
I have experienced two things, so I won't go into details. Let's focus on the feelings after learning sand painting! For people like me who have no sense of picture, it's easy to spread sand paintings with two artistic conceptions: a lonely sail and a distant shadow, and a Leng Jiang fishing alone. While teaching the method, the teacher made full use of the image memory method and drew two pictures and two poems! -"The lonely sail is far away, the blue sky is full, and the sky is only flowing along the Yangtze River", "A leaf boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing for the cold river-snow".
(experience sand painting)
Image memory method is the most suitable memory method for human brain operation mode at present, and its efficiency is 3- 10 times higher than that of traditional sound stimulation memory.
This combination of "new" and "old", this combination of "scientific method" and "traditional culture" really surprised me!
(table ceremony)
One day's study tour has only experienced the tip of the iceberg. "Reading Mongolian classics, learning ancient rituals, learning martial arts, doing various jobs and making a living" is enough for me to learn seven classics, five rituals and eight arts. I have to admit that I fell in love with this kind of preschool education in China!
When I came home at night, I looked through the photos of that day and rearranged my mood and thoughts. I felt that this study tour was really a subversion of my personal concept. As for me, who has two babies at home, I must be responsible for their starting point in life. One day, they will grow up. At that time, they will go their own way, but I hope that before that day, they can be gentlemen, respect morality, respect manners, be filial to their parents, and have the ability to stand in society! Only they know what the end of life is like, but their starting point should be full of sunshine!
(Dragon Dance)
I want to use this article to record my first major choice for my children. Fortunately, you were born in a good era. While growing up happily, you can also cultivate a gentleman's integrity and understand what is fundamental to people.
