Course Description: 

讲好传承千年的中国故事，教授中华语言背后的文化精髓。“以古人之规矩，开自己之生面”。中华悠久历史文脉之贯通在于一脉相承的精神文化对后世思想的启迪。该课程旨在通过讲述经典唐诗宋词和成语典故传授中华民族的先祖智慧，让学生在学习过程中体验中国经过千百年历史更迭所传承下的优秀传统文化。

The course is divided into three parts.

The first part involves helping students learn the pronunciation of Chinese characters using Pinyin, which allows them to read and write the language more easily. It is crucial for students to learn how to read, write, and pronounce Chinese characters accurately.

The second part of the course focuses on Chinese poetry appreciation. Students will be introduced to the rich history of Chinese poetry and the cultural and historical context behind Chinese poetry and its influence on Chinese society and culture.

The third part of the course focuses on teaching Chinese idioms through storytelling. Students will learn about Chinese idioms, their meanings, and their origins. The course also guides students to integrate experiences from Chinese idiom stories with their personal experiences to help them reflect on and summarize what they have learned.

Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to read and analyze Chinese poems and idioms and develop their language proficiency. By the end of the course, students will have a deep understanding of Chinese traditional culture and values.

课程的第一部分将涉及帮助学生使用拼音学习汉字的发音，使他们能够更轻松地读写汉字。 学生学习如何准确地读、写和发音汉字是至关重要的。

课程的第二部分侧重于中国诗歌欣赏。 将向学生介绍中国诗歌背后的文化和历史背景及其对中国社会和文化的影响。

课程的第三部分侧重于通过讲故事来教授汉语成语。 学生将学习中国成语、它们的含义和它们的起源。 该课程还引导学生将汉语成语故事中的经验与个人经历相结合，帮助学生反思和总结所学知识。

在整个课程中，学生将有机会阅读和分析中国诗歌和成语并提高他们的语言能力。 到课程结束时，学生将对中国的传统文化和价值观有深刻的理解。
