A few days ago, with the support and guidance of the two committees of Shuangling Village, Guankou, Jimei District, the New Era Civilization Practice Station of Shuangling Village organized parent-child families to carry out an interesting farming activity with the theme of "Straw Fragrance in the Countryside, Hoeing Stubble and Rope Braiding". (The Strait Herald, December 6).
Such activities are of course conducive to parent-child interaction, but their significance lies more in the experience of farming culture. For example, when the farming expert explained the knowledge of farming, everyone "quickly learned to hoe off the rice stubble easily and quickly, and use the straw to make twist and grass ropes", which is obviously a long-lost experience.
Today's children, the usual trajectory is from the home to the school gate, even if it is a holiday, it is also homework, it is rare to have travel opportunities, not to mention the horses, most of them are man-made landscapes. Under the lack of "farming education", many children can't even name ordinary vegetables, which can be said to be a very typical "no distinction between grains". The society is developing rapidly, but no matter how fast and how far we go, we have come from an agricultural society after all. In other words, this knowledge about agriculture is our "way to come".
Therefore, it is necessary for children to go into the fields, learn to Xi ploughing, raising seedlings and other agricultural work, experience farming culture, feel the difficulties of crops, know how difficult it is for us to create and accumulate wealth, and know how much our civilized society has experienced along the way. This feeling is not only to understand some farming knowledge, but also to "not forget the fundamentals", and from this point of view, the more "farming fun activities" are the better.
