Chinese is my favorite subject. Therefore, when I recall my childhood life, the wonderful feeling that Chinese language gives me emerges spontaneously.
The Chinese language first brought me wonderful images, such as "Two orioles singing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascending the blue sky". They are all vivid pictures. As soon as the poem is recited, there is a fragrance in the teeth and cheeks. of beauty. Spring, spring water, and the strong feeling of spring, combined with the numbers "two" and "one row" and the color adjectives "yellow", "emerald", "white" and "green", make you feel that it is extremely beautiful and wonderful. So you have no choice but to admire an old man named Du Fu desperately. Memorization is required, but the poems of Du Fu (as well as Li Bai and Su Dongpo) are not as competitive with you as the current examination questions. You only need to recite them casually once or twice, and the poems will be driven into your brain like wooden wedges. Use it for life.
The second benefit of Chinese language is that it gives you a lot of knowledge. Words themselves are the carrier of knowledge, and Chinese language is unshirkable.
I still remember the "eight-character constitution" of agricultural knowledge. These eight characters are "soil, fertilizer, water, seed, density, protection, management, and work." In the late 1950s and early 1960s, It has been vigorously promoted and promoted as the basis for "big agriculture". As a primary school student, I didn’t know much about agriculture, but there was this lesson in the Chinese class, so I made up my mind to memorize it. These eight words contained the meaning of formulas, so it was easy to memorize and I remembered the difficulty - for the first time in front of me The whole class memorized the text, and I had a rough understanding of the words "management and work" in it, but the teacher gave me a hard time. In order to save face, I memorized it again, and finally I can still memorize it skillfully to this day. I just wonder whether the "Eight-Character Constitution" is really regarded as a "Constitution"?
The Chinese class brings you fresh knowledge, of course not It's just the "Eight-Character Constitution" that contains all kinds of knowledge about animals, plants, mountains, rivers, domestic and foreign countries, and it's all conveyed in a high-level text, allowing you to accept it with conviction. In addition to knowledge, I think the third benefit of Chinese language is to cultivate your interest in writing - you must make sentences and compositions, and also learn to recognize, identify, and combine various vocabulary words. I admit that I have loved making sentences and compositions since I was a child. Sentences give you a primitive sense of creation. You can create just a few lines of text out of thin air. How interesting it is! Compositions are more difficult, usually no less than 800 words, but the title is tempting. You go and invest in: "Memory of a Spring Outing", "My Father", "A Little Thing", "Reading Uncle Lei Feng's Diary", "Reflections on "Eternal Life in the Fire""... You just need to calm down, hold the pen, and think about it. , ready-made sentences are constantly crowded towards the tip of your pen. After a while, a composition is completed, so you admire it proudly, pick out a few typos (usually you can’t pick them out), close the composition, and happily Went to play games with my friends.
The feeling after writing the essay is very unique, very close to a state called "self-realization" by Maslow (a famous American psychologist). Although it is very short-lived, it really fascinates you. Perhaps it was this feeling that prompted me to choose the profession that I would today call a “writer.”
Chinese class, the dream factory of childhood, is an intellectual game that makes you feel interesting after the magical intersection of pen and paper.
I hope you all love Chinese.
