How to introduce Chinese culture to young children

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and it is also the most important and solemn festival for Chinese people all over the world. I often hear that children are not looking forward to the New Year now, the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and the New Year is becoming more and more boring.

It is becoming more and more important for children to be influenced by traditional culture. So how to introduce children to the culture of the Spring Festival and the traditional customs related to the Spring Festival? It is recommended that parents use the same way of reading picture books:

First, parents can combine words and ** to tell children the story of the Spring Festival. The second is some traditional customs, it is difficult to appreciate the breadth and beauty of Chinese culture just by telling it, and it is easy to present the picture with picture books, which is a good solution to this problem. Third, parents and children can spend a relaxed and happy parent-child time together.

The first picture book: "Reunion".

The first picture book recommended is called "Reunion". This is a story about a father, and it is also a classic of Chinese people who move the world with plain language. For the first time, an original Chinese picture book was selected as one of the New York Times' Top 10 Best Children's Picture Books of the Year.

The story is told from the perspective of a little girl named Mao Mao. At the beginning, he told us that Dad could only come home once a year, "Dad built a big house outside. He only goes home once a year, and that is for the Chinese New Year.

Today, Mom and I both woke up very early because- Dad came home. ”

Mom and Maomao pick up Dad home. Dad had a scruffy beard and was a little haggard. Mao Mao watched from afar.

A simple sentence outlines the family norm of thousands of migrant workers: the father is away all the year round, and the children and mother stay in the hometown, which is a family where the father is absent all the year round. So will the little girl Maomao accept her father?

How can the youngest daughter celebrate the Spring Festival with her father, who only sees her once a year? Will it be smooth sailing? The reader's heart is also tense.

Our traditional Chinese culture.

Wedding flowers, ceremonial flowers, shoe flowers, door rafts, Wanzhou cloth shadows, bucket fragrant flowers, paper-cut group flowers, paper-cut flags, paper-cut Chinese characters, paper-cut pictures, etc. The content of the paper-cut contains a strong breath of life. Fish.

Birds and beasts, flowers and trees, pavilions and bridges, these natural scenery that people are familiar with and love, have become people's paper-cutting patterns. Every time there is a New Year's festival or a happy event, people have to cut some "Fu" words, "Xi" words and so on to celebrate. A decoupage drawing is a drawing cut out of a piece of paper.

Let's take a look at this "scholar" first, there is a gentleman reading with a book in his hand, and he looks like a scholar; Look at this "Phoenix Playing Peony" again, there is a phoenix playing on a peony, like a child playing ......

There are also many traditional Chinese cultures, such as calligraphy, embroidery, theater and so on. Well, do we have a lot of traditional culture in China?
