Family education,School of Chinese Language,Cultural Identity

受1848年淘金热影响,我国华南民众开始移民美国。在二战以前,受排华法长期影响,华人移民在异质文化中艰难生存,教育成为延续中国传统文化、寄托民族感情的重要手段。以语言学习伴随的文化学习为主要内容,以家庭教育和社区中文学校教育为主要形式,传统文化教育一直维系着华人与祖国的感情联系,强化着青年一代的民族意识,形成了强烈的民族文化认同。

Influenced by the gold-rush in 1848,many people from South China began to emigrate to the USA.Before the Second World War,persecuted for a long time by Chinese Exclusion Act,the Chinese immigrants lived a hard life in the different culture.And education became an important means to continuing Chinese traditional culture,and placing their national feelings.By the main contents of cultural study accompanied with language study,and by the main form of family education and community education,the traditional education has played a role of tying the Overseas Chinese with their motherland,which strengthens national consciousness of the young generation and forms strong national culture identity.
