理性对待“对儿童读经的批判”

Reflections on the Criticism of Children's Reciting Classics

读经提倡者认为读经具有文化传承、开发潜能、道德提高的功能。反对者针锋相对地认为读经扼杀了儿童的天性。从文化生态学的角度来看,读经尽管存在着不科学的地方,但也有其合理的一面,当代对幼儿读经态度的改变取决于其是否适合幼儿的兴趣。同时,幼儿阅读文化经典更需要创意性的早期阅读。

The supporters of children＇s reciting classics hold the view that it has the functions of transmitting culture, developing potential and improving morality, while the opponents think it would harm the children＇s nature. From the perspective of cultural ecology, reciting classics is reasonable despite some shortcomings. In the modem times, whether people will change their attitudes towards children＇s reciting classics is determined by whether it appeals to children. Meantime, it requires the early reading in a more creative way.
