爱国主义教育应从民风民俗中加深民族认同感

Learning National Identity Through Established Practice and Customs

爱国主义情感实际上就是民族认同感。我们不能指望从课堂中培养学生的民族认同感。应该从传统文化中、从生活实际中、从民风民俗中领悟中华民族的特征。通过旅游寻根、祭典祖先、解读家谱和考察节日,可以使青少年一代感受到强烈的民族认同感,以弥补学校教育的不足。

Actually, patriotism encompasses national identity. We can't expect to cultivate it in the classroom. Instead youngsters are wished to comprehend the features of Chinese nation from traditional culture, everyday life, established practice and customs. Meanwhile, youngsters can hold the strong feeling of national identity by traveling to seek the ancestor of China, holding a memorial ceremony for Emperor Huang, interpreting family trees and investigating the origins of Chinese festivals. These activities can make up for the deficiency of classroom instructions.
