Vice Principal of Hangzhou Senior High School, Senior Teacher, unique in poetry teaching. He is the author of the first interactive poetry calendar in China, "Interactive Poetry and Lunar Calendar", and published a personal collection of poems "Moonlight Stew west lake".
The recently concluded Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a joyful party for sports fans, but also an unforgettable feast for poetry lovers, because the countdown to the opening ceremony uses ancient poems to introduce the twenty-four solar terms, and one poem corresponds to one festival.
"Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently", Du Fu's "Happy Rain on Spring Night" is written about rain; "The spring wind is like a distinguished guest, and it will prosper as soon as it arrives", Yuan Ming's "Spring Wind" writes about the spring equinox... Vivid and beautiful.
This week, in the sixth lesson of the Zhejiang Youth Poetry Conference Cloud Classroom, the invited "famous teacher observer" is Gao Li, vice principal of Hangzhou Senior High School and Chinese teacher, who will take us to learn poetry with the twenty-four solar terms!
Poetry pays great attention to formal beauty
The 24 solar terms are a poetic expression of ancient high technology
Poetry originally pays great attention to the beauty of form, and if conditions permit, I will try my best to let students learn the form of poetry to be beautiful.
When I talk about poetry in class, I often use the form of solar terms and special festivals (such as Chongyang, Dragon Boat Festival, etc.) as the angle of combing poetry or supplementing the content of understanding. In this way, you can use the festival and festival as an introduction, introduce the poems to be spoken, or you can supplement the relevant cultural knowledge to help students understand. Sometimes, I even deliberately choose a special time node to talk about poetry. The general reaction of the students was: more impressive.
I also often use festivals, festivals, etc. as examples to play some extracurricular poems with poetry friends and students to enhance the cultivation of poetry. For example, we have selected and compiled "Twenty-four Solar Terms Poetry Collection", "Thinking of Relatives every Festive Season - Thoughts Hidden in Holiday Poems", "Happy Birthday to You - Selected Poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties", "Dapeng and the Phoenix - Those "Bird" Poems of Li Bai and Du Fu" and other interesting poetry collections.
In the countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics, the reason why the twenty-four solar terms were chosen with poems was to echo the 24th Winter Olympics, and the second was to give the number of 24 corresponding chinese traditional scientific and technological culture and literary poetry, and to show it to the world. The 24 solar terms cross-integrate the advanced astronomy, geography and agronomy of ancient China, which is the "scientific and technological code" that China led the world in the era of agricultural production. Poetry and proverbs, paired with the twenty-four solar terms, are the poetic expression of this high-tech.
Throughout the ages, there have been many poems written about the solar terms, but not many have entered the language textbooks. Du Mu's "Qingming" is a must-memorize article in primary schools, but it is not an informal text. This is because the selection of poems in textbooks should comprehensively consider many factors such as theme, genre, era, poet, etc., of course, the most important thing is classicism. Our classical poems are too good, and the capacity of teaching materials is too small, so the solar terms poems are almost "completely destroyed" when they are screened.
If you want to know more about solar terms poems, you can do it outside of class, and there are many online searches for "solar terms poems". However, it should be noted that some poems seem to write about the characteristics of a certain solar term, such as "sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently" ("Spring Night Happy Rain"), although it is written about spring rain, but strictly speaking, there is no conclusive evidence that Du Fu wrote about the "rain" festival. It is clear that there are many "rain" solar terms, such as Yuan Shu's "Yong Twenty-Four Qi Poems", he wrote about the twenty-four solar terms specifically. Among them, the "Rain" section is also well written: "The rain washes the spring, and Hirata has seen the dragon." ...... The clouds are light and heavy, and the scenery is light and thick..."
Then again, why can the ancients write about the solar terms so beautifully, and we modern people can only look back on it? In addition to the factors of time and space and identity, I think the biggest difference between us and the ancients is that they observe and understand everything in more detail than we do, so they are more vivid and "more affectionate" when writing about weather and climate.
The reason is also very simple, one is "once upon a time slow". The ancients had more time and patience with nature than we did, and could communicate with nature more from a spiritual and subjective point of view. Second, the mentality of writing poetry is different. The ancients did not take writing poetry as homework, and most of them did not want to become professional poets, but more "my palms are my hearts", recording the bits and pieces of life and all things, so these poems are more real and beautiful.
A poem was accompanied every day for 360 days
There are many ways to accumulate ancient poems
A few years ago, I compiled a book called Interactive Poetry: The Lunar Calendar, which some readers said was an "encyclopedia" of ancient life, because I assigned an ancient poem written on that day to each day of the year. The students were curious where I got these poems. Today, I will reveal the secret to the young readers of the "Growth Reader".
The idea of writing this poetry calendar first arose 20 years ago in college, but how to compile and choose which poems to choose has been figured out step by step in the past 20 years.
20 years ago, when my vision of reading ancient poems slowly expanded from various anthologies such as "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" to "Quan Tang Poems", "Quan Song Poems" and other poetry collections, as well as the complete poetry collections of Li Du Yuanbai and others, I found that Chinese was too "time-conscious", and many poems we could find a clear date of writing: "March 28 Gift Zhou Judge's Text", "After The Dream of August 30th of the Second Year of the Bao Calendar", "September 1st Meng Twelve Cangcao Fourteen Master Book Brothers"... So, I had an idea at that time: if you collect all the poems for three hundred and sixty days a year (lunar calendar), how fun it would be!
The calendar is matched with ancient poems, of course, based on the time of poetry creation, for example, the first day of the first month of the first month is Wang Anshi's "Yuan Day", because this poem was written on this day. On August 15, Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" was selected, because this song was written in the "Mid-Autumn Festival". Secondly, mainly on the basis of taking into account the classics of poetry and the vividness and taste of life of the written content, let everyone read more diverse, broader time and space, more poets' works, and know more interesting souls.
Of course, in addition to the induction and arrangement methods such as solar terms and dates, there are many good ways to learn and accumulate ancient poems.
For example, the well-known "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" (Selected Poems of Qing Yutang) is summarized and sorted according to the genre, and its order is Wuyan Ancient Poems, Wuyan Lefu, Qiyan Ancient Poems, Qiyan Lefu, Wuyan Law Poetry, Seven Yan Law Poems, and so on.
For example, if you want to strengthen your understanding of typical imagery, you can choose to compile series such as "Moon", "Willow", "Sunset", "Peach Blossom", "Long Pavilion"; if you want to be familiar with the theme of poetry, you can use "Border Plug", "Pastoral", "Detention", "Festival Sequence", "Farewell" and so on as an angle; if you want to understand the style of poetry, you can sort it out from the direction of "majestic", "graceful", "beautiful" and "simple"...
You can even sort out a group of poems for drinking tea, a group of poems about animals, and a group of poems about makeup.
If we learn and be good at discovering the relationships and characteristics of poetry, we will find many interesting ways to summarize and organize.
Last year, I took the students to study the ancient poetry unit, and together they found that 6 of the 8 poems in this unit were written on the Yangtze River, and the other two were one person yearning for Zhejiang in Shandong, and the other missing Shandong in Zhejiang, so we gave these 8 poems along the Yangtze River with a "Thousand Years Poetry Road Wanli Poetry Heart Map", which is also an interesting way to summarize.
Famous teachers and observers ask questions
Write your favorite poems into lyrics
Rewrite your favorite poem, turn it into a lyric, and be able to sing it with a melody.
The essence of this problem is to imitate the sentence form and rhythm of the original song, the second is to understand, reorganize and recreate the poem, and the third is to deepen the understanding of the poem in the application of what he has learned, and to experience the musicality of the poem in the form of singing.
Tip: According to the rhythm of the selected music, the poems are appropriately modified and filled in the music score for singing, for example, using Li Qingzhao's words as materials to fill in the words for the popular song "Slow Sound".
