2. Word analysis.
(1) Understanding of sentences.
① Boya played the harp and played the harp, aiming at high mountains. Zhong Ziqi said: "How good it is! It looks as high as Mount Tai!" Aiming on flowing water. Zhong Ziqi said: "How good it is. It looks like a river!"
"Good", great. "If", it seems.
When Boya played the piano, he thought of mountains. Zhong Ziqi listened and said (praise): "You play so well! It's like the towering Mount Tai (standing in front of me)!" Boya thought of flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said Ziqi (drunk and rapping): "It's wonderful! The sound of the piano is like an endless river (flowing through my heart)!"
After reading this sentence, we have a deep understanding of " "Bo Ya is good at playing the harp, and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening", we have a more real and vivid understanding. Bo Ya's piano skills were superb, and Zhong Ziqi's appreciation level was equally superb. When teaching, through repeated chanting, you can experience Zhong Ziqi's heartfelt admiration and Boya's ecstatic mood when he met his close friend.
②What Bo Ya thinks about, Zhong Ziqi will definitely get it.
No matter what Boya was thinking, Zhong Ziqi could accurately express his thoughts. Only Zhong Ziqi, who is well versed in music, can truly understand Boya's exquisite music. Only Zhong Ziqi can truly understand Boya's thoughts. If you are in love with each other, you are a close friend!
③Bo Ya said that there will be no more music in the world, which means that the strings of the harp will be broken and the drum will never be played again for life.
"Broken Qin", breaking the Qin into pieces. "Bosom friend" is someone who understands one's own thoughts and speaks the same language. This refers to Boya treating Zhong Ziqi as his close friend. "Recover", again, again. Boya was devastated and felt that he would never find a close friend (who knew him better than Zhong Ziqi) in the world, so he broke his beloved piano and stopped playing it for the rest of his life.
After Zhong Ziqi’s death, Boya was grief-stricken and dejected, and resolutely broke the strings of his harp. What a tragic and touching act! The deep friendship between friends is touching. For thousands of years, the allusions of "bosom friend" have not only been popular in China, but also become famous overseas.
(2) Understanding of words.
Bo Ya Jue Xian: Jue, cut off. Because Ziqi died, Boya broke his qin and stopped playing it. It is a metaphor for giving up a certain specialty or hobby after the death of a close friend to express condolences.
Bosom friend: a person who understands your own thoughts and speaks the same language.

(1) What is a bosom friend.
Read the article again and see what parts you understand and what parts you don’t understand? Students communicate after studying the text.
Several preset teaching generation points:
1. There are four different uses of the word "shan": the word "shan" in "good at drums and harps" and "good at listening" can be understood as meaning "good at, good at"; the two words "shanzai" mean to express admiration.
2. Where can we see that Bo Ya is good at playing the harp and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening? Empathy experience: If you are Ziqi, Boya's drum and harp are aimed at the mountains and flowing water. Through the sound of Boya's harp, what do you seem to see? So how do you praise it?
3. Since Boya is said to be good at drumming and harp, his music must not only express mountains and flowing water. In addition to Mount Emei, Taishan and oceans of rivers, what other moving scenes can his music express? Guide students to imagine the answer: the bright moon, the gentle breeze, the curling smoke, the misty spring rain...
4. Guide students to expand and use language: If you are Ziqi now, "Bo Ya drums and plays harp, aiming at the breeze." Through the sound of Boya's harp, do you feel the gentle breeze? So how do you praise it? ("Good, how gentle the breeze is!") When "Bo Ya plays the harp, aiming at the bright moon", through the sound of Boya's harp, have you seen the bright moon? So how do you praise it? ("How wonderful! It's as bright as the bright moon!")
5. Let’s imagine this picture together: Boya is playing the harp and Ziqi is listening to the harp. When Boya plays the drum and plays the harp, his ambition is for the willows, for the spring rain, for the clouds, for the smoke... How will Zi Qi admire him? Guide students to say sentences in the form of parallel sentences.
6. This is exactly: "What Bo Ya thinks about, Zhong Ziqi will definitely get." When I think about something, my good friend will definitely get it and praise it. This is not an ordinary friend! This is called - bosom friend. Regardless of whether Boya aspires to high mountains or flowing water, or he aspires to the bright moon or the breeze, whatever Boya thinks about, Ziqi will definitely get it. This is a true bosom friend!
(2) Meet and get to know each other.

2. Can you feel how Boya felt when he heard other people's unreasonable compliments?
3. At that time, Boya must have had a desire in his heart. What was he longing for? He must have been calling out countless times in his heart. What was he calling for?

6. The gathering of close friends must be very joyful and harmonious. Read the text again and feel the harmony and joy of the gathering of close friends.
(3) Death of bosom friend.
Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and Ziqi passed away unfortunately.
Show the sentence and ask the students to read: "When Ziqi died, Boya said that there would be no more music in the world. He would break the strings of the harp and never play the drum again for the rest of his life."
1. After Ziqi died, how could Boya think that there would be no more silence in the world?
2. Ziqi died, and Boya had to go back to his old life. He couldn't bear the days without a close friend and no one understood him. This kind of pain that no one can talk to is finally expressed in an extreme way: breaking the strings and never playing again for life! Is it just the "string" that Boya is "excellent" here? When he cut off the strings, what did he cut off?
3. When you understand Boya's mood at this time, please read this sentence again.
5. Deep understanding of Juexian
1. Feng Menglong, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty, described this touching story with vivid writing in the book "Warning Words for the World". In front of Ziqi's tomb, Boya once wrote a short song to commemorate his close friend Zhong Ziqi. Show students the poem and read it:
Recalling the past, last spring, I met you by the river. I came back for another visit today, but I didn’t see my close friend. But when I saw a handful of dirt, it broke my heart! Sad and sad, I can't bear the tears. Why bother to come and go? There are sad clouds by the riverside. This song will never be played again, and the three-foot Yao Qin will die for you!
2. As soon as Ziqi died, Yu Boya had to go back to his previous life that no one could understand. Who would he play the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" to? Only this touching story has been passed down through the ages! Students read the text.

6. Extended Reading
Bo Ya learned the guqin
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Boya who studied guqin with Mr. Chenglian. He has mastered various performance techniques, but the teacher felt that when he played, he often did not understand deeply and simply played the notes, lacking a bit of charm and unable to arouse the screams of the audience. The teacher wanted to train him into a real artist. One day, Mr. Chenglian said to Boya: "My teacher Fang Zichun lives in Donghai. He can teach you how to cultivate people's taste. I will take you there and let him teach you. If you talk about it, it can greatly improve your artistic level." So the master and the apprentice prepared dry food and set off in the boat. After arriving at Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea, Mr. Chenglian said to Boya: "You stay here to practice the piano, and I will go find the master." After that, he rowed the boat and gradually moved away.
Ten days have passed and Mr. Chenglian has not come back yet. Boya waited anxiously on the island. While tuning the piano every day, he looked around. He faced the vast sea and listened to the surging waves. Looking into the distance, the mountains and forests are lush and unpredictable, with the sound of birds chirping and flying from time to time. These scenes with their own interesting and strange sounds made him feel relaxed and happy, his thoughts were wandering, and he felt that his taste was much nobler.
Boya developed a creative passion and wanted to compose his feelings into music, so he set up the piano, poured his passion into the strings, and composed a song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" in one go.
Not long after, Mr. Chenglian returned from the boat. After listening to his emotional performance, he said happily: "Now you are the best luthier in the world. You can go back!" Boya suddenly realized. , It turns out that the sound of the waves and the singing of birds are the best teachers. After that, Boya continued to accumulate experience in life and art, and finally became a master of piano playing in the world.
