What are the familiar idioms related to historical allusions?
Presumably everyone can say a lot, such as "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat", "fighting against the water", "looking at the plum to quench thirst", etc. Behind these idioms are rich historical stories, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and have become a valuable asset for us to learn history and comprehend the philosophy of life.
The revival of Chinese culture requires a modern interpretation of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, absorbing the essence, guiding our current work and life, so that people at all levels can be infiltrated and nourished by excellent culture.
"China in Idioms" was born from 500 audio programs on Cao Yuqian's platform, which has accumulated more than 20 million times. "China in Idioms" is a book that uses idioms as a starting point to tell the history and cultural spirit of our country.
The book is divided into two volumes, extracting 100 idioms from ancient times to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, which have the imprint of the times, while clarifying the cultural genes of the Chinese nation, there are not only idioms interpretation, but also classic poems, mutual learning between China and the West, interdisciplinary and film and television development, and research trips, etc., which are quite encyclopedic.
Each idiom is like a historical treasure, reflecting the glory and richness of our country's history. Cao Yuqian, the author of this book, interprets these idioms in depth, and shows the cultural genes and spiritual core of the Chinese nation through the surface meaning of the idioms.
This way of learning idioms, mastering idiom allusions, and understanding historical events is refreshing. Edutainment makes idiom learning more fun and productive.
This book is part of the "Walk for Humanity" series. Zhang Jun, the chief planner, wrote in the book's "Trek":
The spirit of culture leads to the future. 5,000 years of China and today's China have the same culture and consistent spirit. ”
For example, adhering to the idiom of the Chinese nation's never-yielding spirit, the author summed up its cultural spirit with the teacher's "make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory", from which we seem to see the scene of thousands of years of fighting for the continuous inheritance of the Chinese nation.
The instructors' articles entitled "The Fool Moves the Mountain" and "Serving the People" and "Commemorating Bethune" encouraged the ancestors to "dig up" the two mountains of imperialism and feudalism that pressed on the heads of the Chinese people, so that the Chinese nation could stand tall among the nations of the world.
In the study trip module of this section, the author lists two memorial halls, two geoparks, one revolutionary site, and one scenic spot. Themed educational beads like this can be picked up in the book.
What is commendable is that all the contents quoted in the book are marked with asterisks when they refer to the topics of Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools. This is not only the highlight of the book, but also the author's ingenuity.
