"Poetry carries history and history carries poetry", and the combination of literature and history has always been an academic tradition in China. "Typical characters and stories in literary works, if well written, will better reflect social characteristics than historical records." Therefore, citing literary works in a timely and appropriate way will make history class more vivid and students' thinking more active. The following is my experience in introducing poetry couplets into history class, and I will share it with my peers.

First, stimulate interest and create a good classroom atmosphere

Comenius said: "Interest is one of the main ways to create a happy and bright teaching environment." With interest, students can feel relaxed and happy in learning, experience the beauty of learning, and give full play to the main role and initiative of classroom teaching. Quoting poems and couplets is a good way to stimulate students' interest and create a good atmosphere. Specifically, couplets are like stimulants, which can make simple knowledge interesting. For example, when talking about Yuan Shikai's restoration of monarchy, I quoted the Spring Festival couplets posted by the masses after Yuan Shikai's death, "Yuan Shikai is eternal, long live the people of China", so that students can feel the profound connotation of "Yuan Shikai is sorry for the people of China" through this obviously problematic couplet, thus realizing the great historical achievement of the Revolution of 1911-making the concept of democratic republic deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Experience has proved that even absent-minded students can participate in the class with great interest at this time. Compared with couplets that appeal to both refined and popular tastes, poetry, with its neat and beautiful sentences and artistic conception of blending scenes, can move students' hearts more, immerse them in the beautiful atmosphere and enjoy the edification of beauty. At this time, students' interest and enthusiasm in learning will begin without warning.

Second, stimulate association and strengthen students' understanding and memory of textbook content.

History is a moving drama, but the history textbook is a shriveled compressed biscuit. It is difficult to ask students to understand and leave a deep impression only by textbooks. Poetry, on the other hand, depicts an intuitive historical picture with vivid brushstrokes, which makes history reappear, allows students to "walk into" history, touch historical figures and perceive historical phenomena, thus deepening their understanding and memory of history. For example, when teaching Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, I recited and analyzed Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring" with my students. From then on, as long as this problem is involved, the famous sentence "Four hundred and eighty halls in the southern dynasties, how many towers are misty and rainy" will immediately appear in students' minds. For another example, in the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when various military groups were fighting for years, the people were devastated and the social economy was seriously damaged, Cao Cao "was born with lice and died." The bones were bare in the field, and there was no one among them, and there was no crowing. This poem is vivid and concrete, which can combine boring teaching materials with vivid historical pictures, stimulate students' imagination and help students deepen their understanding of teaching materials.

Third, provide historical materials and cultivate students' historical thinking ability.

The core ability of history learning is the ability of historical thinking. Providing new materials, creating new situations, asking new questions and guiding students to actively think and explore are the main ways to cultivate students' historical thinking ability. At this time, poetry couplets are a good source of historical materials. For example, when it comes to the Treaty of Xin Chou, we should evaluate Li Hongzhang, and then we can list all kinds of poetry couplets for students to analyze and use. One is Li Hongzhang's works, such as the most famous poem: "My husband only holds Wu Gou, and his spirit is higher than a hundred feet. Who wrote 10,000 years of history? Three thousand miles away, find a seal. " There is also Li Hongzhang's self-deprecating couplet: "There are hundreds of officials in the world, and I am suffering; A spring rises in the chest. " The other is the evaluation of Li Hongzhang by others, such as "I have been rich and prosperous all my life, and three dynasties assisted the main hall." When I was young, I was interested in China, but when I was old, I made a mistake and kissed the tiger and the wolf. Maguan wyndell dichinson betrayed the country, but the wind wall is hard to seal. Hate and hate will eventually lead to death, and I will do my best until I die. " Faced with such a wealth of historical materials, students' thinking will certainly be quite active. Under the guidance of teachers, students will be able to form a more rational evaluation. In the long run, their historical thinking ability will naturally improve.

Fourth, strengthen the relationship between disciplines and improve students' comprehensive ability in liberal arts.

It is an effective way to cultivate students' comprehensive ability in liberal arts to quote poetry couplets and ask questions skillfully in history teaching. For example, quote Mao Zedong's "Water Tune Song Tou" 1956 written in June? Swimming: "I only drink Changsha water, eat Wuchang fish and cross the Yangtze River thousands of miles, so I can see the water." No matter how rough the storm is, it is better to walk around leisurely. You should be more relaxed today. Zi Zaichuan said: The deceased is like a husband! As soon as the wind blows, the tortoise and snake calm down, and the grand plan has been set. A bridge flies north and south, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare. Set up the stone wall of Xijiang River, cut off the Yu Yun of Wushan, and let Gaoxia go out of Pinghu. The goddess should be safe and sound, and will surprise the world. "The teacher can ask when this book was written. It is the first five-year plan period of China's social and economic development, and it examines historical knowledge; What does the high gorge in the poem mean? How many parts are there? What water conservancy project makes "high gorge out of Pinghu" a reality? Investigate geographical knowledge; Ask the philosophical enlightenment of this poem and investigate political knowledge. In addition, there are many poetry couplets containing political, historical and geographical knowledge. If teachers carefully scrutinize and skillfully ask questions, they can enlighten students' wisdom and develop their thinking ability.

To sum up, introducing poetry couplets into history teaching skillfully and timely can stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, deepen their understanding and memory of historical knowledge, and cultivate students' historical thinking ability and comprehensive ability of liberal arts, which meets the requirements of quality education. However, the selection of poetry couplets should be based on the principle of serving history teaching, otherwise it will deviate from the teaching theme, which will not only fail to achieve the intended results, but even outweigh the benefits.
