The National Custom Of "Cuckoo" And Its Application In Chinese Teaching In Middle School

The meaning of national idiom is the meaning related to national culture added on the basis of the conceptual meaning of words,which reflects the national character of semantics and is closely related to the history,customs and other aspects of the nation.Many words in the selected text of Chinese teaching materials of middle schools contain abundant meaning of national sayings.Therefore,the meaning of national sayings is intrinsically related to Chinese teaching of middle schools.In order to improve the teaching effect of the Chinese course,it is necessary to carry out the teaching of national idiom in the Chinese course.Chinese education and national culture education complement each other.Efficient Chinese classes should not only impart language knowledge,but also inherit national culture.If students only understand the conceptual meaning of words,do not understand the meaning of national idioms,they will not be able to better understand the text;Therefore,when interpreting the text in Chinese teaching materials,strengthening the interpretation of national and common words with national cultural meaning can help students understand the text more deeply.In Chinese,the word "cuckoo" refers to both the cuckoo bird and the azalea flower.The meaning of the national saying is rich,mainly referred to as "emperor",homesickness,sorrow,sadness,parting mood,symbol of "spring",cherish spring hurt spring and other items.The generation of these national colloquial meanings is closely related to the natural characteristics of cuckoos and rhododendrons as well as the myths and legends about cuckoos.The upper,lower jaw and tongue of the cuckoo are red.Rhododendrons are mainly red flowers.This is a natural feature,but it was interpreted by the literati blood red.According to the records of the king of study,the king of the ancient kingdom,died and became a cuckoo bird.Blood dripping,also dyed red.As a result,the cuckoo has an indissoluble bond with the rhododendron,which makes "cuckoo" become a national common word and contains rich national common sense.In addition,rhododendrons generally open in spring and have a relatively short flowering period,so "rhododendron" gives rise to the national saying meaning of symbolizing spring,cherishing spring and hurting spring.The word "cuckoo" appears in some of the articles in the current Chinese textbooks of middle schools,which contains different meanings of national sayings.However,the survey found that the current middle school Chinese teaching in the interpretation of national idiom meaning is almost in a state of blank.The reason for this is that teachers lack the knowledge reserve of national colloquial meaning and fail to realize that the teaching of national colloquial meaning will affect the deep interpretation of texts and the establishment of efficient classes.Therefore,there is basically no teaching of national colloquial meaning,so that students naturally do not understand what is national colloquial meaning,nor will they understand the connotation of words according to the national colloquial meaning,and deeply interpret the text.Therefore,it is necessary to introduce the teaching of national colloquial meaning in middle school Chinese teaching to strengthen teachers and students’ understanding of national colloquial meaning.In terms of specific teaching strategies,teachers can carry out teaching according to the national colloquial meanings,such as "king" of "cuckoo",national homesickness,sorrow and sadness,parting emotions,symbolizing "spring",spring and hurting spring,etc.,according to the teaching principles and methods,and in combination with specific texts.In this way,students can not only understand the conceptual meaning of "cuckoo",but also master the corresponding national colloquial meaning.It is helpful for students to construct and use language,to develop and improve their thinking,to appreciate and create aesthetics,and to understand and inherit national traditional culture.
