图解六书——从古汉字看世界

Course Syllabus 课程章节
10As the first module of the project course, this section is the focal point of the entire program courses. The teaching objectives and content of this module focus on "Illustrating the Six Categories," which involves categorizing Chinese characters based on historical, natural, artistic, and life-oriented perspectives. After breaking down the structural components of Chinese characters, the goal is to use intuitive images to systematically analyze each character, rendering them more concrete. This approach aids students in understanding the origin of Chinese characters, principles of character formation, evolution of character forms, as well as the original meaning, extended meanings, and metaphorical meanings of the characters they are learning. The aim is to eliminate students' apprehension towards Chinese characters and cultivate their ability to independently study the form, pronunciation, and meaning of characters. Furthermore, by focusing on different categories of Chinese characters, students can delve into China's history, nature, art, and daily life through ancient characters. This allows them to gain a preliminary understanding of the Chinese stories embedded in characters, deeply appreciate the cultural richness behind Chinese characters, and comprehend the Chinese thoughts reflected in related characters, such as the Chinese perspectives on history, nature, art, and life.
作为本次项目课程的第一个板块,本版块是本次项目的重点课程。其教学目标和教学内容为“图解六书”,也就是在将汉字按照历史、自然、艺术、生活四个方向进行分类后,在分解汉字的构字部件的基础上,借助直观的图像将汉字一一解析,使其具像化,帮助学生了解汉字的起源、造字原理、字形演变以及所学汉字的本义、延伸义和比喻义等,消除学生对汉字的畏难心理,培养学生自学汉字形、音、义的能力。
此外,通过聚焦不同类别的汉字,学生能够借助古汉字走进中国的历史、自然、艺术以及日常生活,初步了解汉字里的中国故事,深刻体会汉字背后所蕴含的汉字文化,理解相关汉字背后所体现的中国思想,如中国人的历史观、自然观、艺术观、生活观等。
