"Art is an important part of human culture, and art curriculum has the function of inheriting culture and art." "Art curriculum can make students fully understand the relationship between art and self, art and nature, art and society, and guide students to love the motherland, understand culture and art, and carry forward humanistic spirit." This is a passage in the "Art Curriculum Standards" of middle schools. As a member of the Chinese nation, we shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting China's traditional culture. How to infiltrate traditional culture education in middle school art teaching, let students master art professional knowledge and skills, promote the inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture, and cultivate a national spirit worthy of the times is a subject that every middle school art teacher must face.

First, educate students to pay attention to traditional culture and cultivate their awareness of protecting traditional culture.

Integrating cultural learning into art teaching is an effective way to carry forward China's excellent traditional culture and improve students' traditional cultural literacy. In the compulsory education stage, art education should fully tap the traditional cultural resources, so that students can feel the great artistic charm of traditional culture from the depths of their souls. First, we should improve students' attention to traditional culture. Today, with the globalization of the world economy, foreign cultures are rapidly affecting our country. Under the influence of "Japanese Wave" and "Korean Wave", some students "snubbed" their traditional culture, knowing little about relevant knowledge, and China's traditional art culture is gradually declining. As art teachers, we have the obligation and the ability to make excellent traditional culture create more glory. For example, in teaching, make full use of multimedia teaching with pictures and texts, so that students can understand China's works of art more clearly and intuitively, feel the infinite charm of traditional art, and stimulate students' love for the motherland and the nation. The second is to guide students to have the awareness of participating in the inheritance and protection of traditional culture in China. With the process of modernization, many traditional handicrafts in China, such as clay sculpture, dough sculpture, paper-cutting, shadow play, New Year pictures and other folk arts, are far from our sight and will face the danger of extinction. How to protect and inherit them has become a major concern of the current society. For example, in the folk art appreciation class, we can show pictures with slides, show real objects on the spot, and even visit and study on the spot, which can help students to learn and appreciate excellent traditional arts, at the same time, enhance their knowledge of national traditional culture, and let our future generations appreciate the beautiful culture brought by our ancestors again, and consciously participate in the protection of China's "intangible cultural heritage".

Second, cultivate students' good quality of respecting and loving life, and enhance national pride.

Art learning is not only a simple skill training, but also a kind of learning and cultivation of cultural quality. In the art teaching of middle schools, we should pay attention to cultivating students' love for the fine art tradition of the motherland, let them realize the true meaning of life and awaken their deep national pride.

Loving and cherishing life is the basis and premise of all national feelings. Art comes from life, and every artist's work is their understanding of life. Through their works, we can understand the artist's feelings and love for life. For example, Qi Baishi's paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects are steady, simple and straightforward, and his paintings of shrimp are somewhat naive and full of rich life interests. Our art teaching should make students feel the author's love for life and the love for life reflected in his works, and educate students to love and cherish life from an early age.

National is history. China's works of art are not only a true portrayal of the social times, but also an important window for history to look at the present. Zhang Zeduan's Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows the commercial prosperity of Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty. Through the works, we can understand the customs and features of the Northern Song Dynasty. Porcelain is a great invention of China people and a great contribution of China people to world civilization. Through the appreciation of porcelain, we can understand the civilizations of China in different periods and its glorious history. Folk art is an important factor of national traditional culture. There are many kinds of folk arts in China, which run through all fields of people's life and spiritual world, directly reflecting the thoughts, feelings and aesthetic tastes of working people, and showing their intelligence and artistic talent.

Third, choose the corresponding starting point in the teaching materials to infiltrate traditional culture into classroom teaching.

1. Learn about traditional culture by combining folk crafts, so that national culture can be passed down. There are many kinds of folk crafts in China, which are extensive and profound. However, students' understanding of folk crafts is relatively narrow. They only get to know them through TV and newspapers, or after seeing the things their parents brought back from the place of origin. They know little about the connotation, value, influence in the world and persistent pursuit of art. For example, in the teaching of "China Folk Art" in senior high school art appreciation class 17, let students know that China folk art is a part of our traditional culture in China. It is like a huge treasure house, with various forms, including paper-cutting, embroidery, New Year pictures, shadow play, clay sculpture, kites, Chinese knots and other exquisite folk handicrafts. And purposefully organize students to collect relevant information in groups of three after school. According to the content introduced by themselves, they will voluntarily form a group, communicate first, and then summarize in groups, so that students can know a little about ancient folk art in China. On this basis, they will organize everyone to design and make paper-cuts, New Year pictures, mud whistles, kites and so on. Through this series of learning processes, they will guide students to improve their learning level from simple skills to an artistic culture, deepen their understanding of culture and history, and establish correct cultural values.

2. Combining with the appreciation of architectural art, we can appreciate the cultural history of China architecture and carry forward the national architectural characteristics. China architecture has a long historical tradition and brilliant achievements. No matter from the structure of the building to the pattern and color of decoration, it embodies the "auspicious view" and "hierarchical view" of architectural decoration, the blending of man and nature, man and society, and people's expectation for a better life, which has extremely profound traditional cultural connotation. Taking China's ancient architectural art as an important object of artistic appreciation and taking architecture as a breakthrough point, analyzing and explaining it can not only make students have a more specific understanding of the main features of China's architectural art, but also realize the profoundness of China's traditional architectural culture, which is conducive to inheriting the characteristics of China's national architecture.

3. Combine the appreciation of famous paintings and infiltrate traditional culture into art classes. Art works reflect the unique cultural background and characteristics of different times. In normal teaching, we should seize the opportunity to appreciate painting and let students feel the essence of traditional culture. For example, students can appreciate the creative features of China's freehand brushwork, such as dripping with ink, similarity and dissimilarity, by appreciating Qi Baishi's Shrimp, Pan Tianshou's Dew and Lin Fengmian's Osprey Boat. Through the appreciation of paintings, students can have a qualitative understanding of China's freehand brushwork and feel the aesthetic essence contained in the ethereal artistic conception in China's traditional cultural creation.

In short, in middle school art education and teaching activities, we need to pay long-term attention to students' learning and exploration of China traditional cultural knowledge, and consider the teaching content with China traditional culture as the starting point, so that students can truly understand the position and value of national traditional art in the world cultural heritage, stimulate young people's feelings of cherishing the artistic heritage of the motherland and caring for national folk culture, and let students learn to consciously inherit and protect the national cultural heritage. In such an era of knowledge explosion, it is our bounden duty to care for and cultivate the national spirit.
