On a sunny weekend afternoon, a group of students who are full of love for Chinese culture gathered in the "Moxiang Book House" in the town. The owner of this bookstore, a Chinese teacher who is over half a hundred years old but energetic, is standing in front of a special blackboard with a smile on his face, which is plastered with all kinds of hand-drawn patterns, each of which implies the deep meaning of an idiom. Today, he prepared a unique "Guess the Idiom by Looking at the Picture" challenge, and confidently said to the students: "In this class, let's not play false, just have some hardcore." Well, I guess it's not that hard for you at all. ”
When the students heard this, some of them were eager to try; Some frowned slightly, thinking to themselves. Teacher Li's eyes swept over every child, and the expectation and encouragement seemed to penetrate their hearts and give them infinite courage.
"The first picture, it's started!" Teacher Li clicked lightly, and a picture on the blackboard came into view: a bird standing on a slender branch, surrounded by a rough sea, and a bright moon hanging in the sky. Although the picture is simple, the artistic conception is far-reaching.
"This ......" the students looked at each other, but soon, a crisp voice broke the silence: "Is it the 'Frightened Bird'?" It was Xiaoqing, a member of the study committee in the class, who usually knew the idiom stories well.
Teacher Li shook his head and reminded with a smile: "Look closely, why is the bird standing on such a thin branch?" What is it looking at? ”
At this time, Xiaojie, who is usually taciturn, suddenly spoke: "Is it 'Linyuan Envy Fish'?" But it doesn't seem right......" he said, scratching his head, looking a little uncertain.
"Haha, Xiaojie, you almost caught the point." Teacher Li encouraged, "However, we are looking for idioms that are more suitable for the picture." Come, let me tell you a story......
With the story told by Mr. Li, the students seemed to travel back to ancient times, that is, a seagull that was not afraid of wind and rain and flew bravely, it lost its mate in the storm, but still chose to stand on the thinnest branch, looking at the bright moon in the distance, pinning on the endless longing for his partner and the yearning for freedom.
"Oh! I know! An excited voice sounded, it was Xiao Ming, who usually likes to use his brain, "It's 'a flock of lone cranes'!" No, it's not right, it's not right...... Ah, it's 'Wind and Wood with Sadness'! It's not right......" Xiao Ming's series of speculations drew bursts of laughter from his classmates, but he didn't give up and continued to ponder.
In the end, it was Mr. Li who revealed the answer: "What this picture depicts is actually the artistic conception of 'standing alone, hanging from each other'." You see, isn't the lonely figure of the bird a vivid portrayal of these eight words? ”
The next few pictures are even more eye-opening for the students, from the fable of "a leaf is blind, you can't see Mount Tai", to the conspiracy of "pointing a deer as a horse", and then to the irony of "painting a snake to add feet", every idiom is presented by Mr. Li with vivid pictures and interesting stories. Through laughter and thinking, the students not only deepened their understanding of idioms, but also felt the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.
"It turns out that idioms are not just a few words, there are so many stories and wisdom hidden behind them." Xiaoqing sighed after class.
"Yes, it's great that Mr. Li always allows us to learn in a relaxed and happy atmosphere." Xiaojie also chimed in.
And Mr. Li, looking at the smiles and satisfaction on the students' faces, was full of gratification. He knows that this kind of teaching method not only makes students fall in love with idioms, but also teaches them how to feel and understand this colorful world with their hearts.
As the sun sets, the lights in the book room look particularly warm. This challenge of "guessing idioms by looking at pictures" is not only a feast of knowledge, but also a baptism of the soul. Here, students not only gain knowledge, but also harvest growth and happiness. And all of this stems from the confident and well-intentioned Chinese teacher - Mr. Li.
