Ning Kun asked me to draw him a picture with Kunming characteristics. I thought for a while and drew a picture. In the upper right corner, I drew a stout green cactus hanging upside down with a golden flower at the end. On the lower left, there are some blue mushrooms and boletus. These lines are engraved on it: "Kunming people often hang a cactus at the door to ward off evil spirits." Cactus can survive and bloom upside down. Here we can see the tenacious life of cactus and the humid air in rainy season in Kunming. There are cyanobacteria and boletus in the rainy season, which is extremely delicious. "
I miss the rain in Kunming.
I didn't know there was a rainy season. The rainy season didn't have a concrete feeling until I arrived in Kunming.
I don't remember how long the rainy season in Kunming is, from a few months to several months, it seems quite long. But not boring. Because it stops and stops, stops and stops, not continuous, but endless. And not boring. I think the air pressure in Kunming in rainy season is not low, and people are very comfortable. The rainy season in Kunming is bright, full and full of emotion. Trees and grass turn green again in spring, and summer dreams have long vegetation. The rainy season in Kunming is thick green. The branches and leaves of plants and trees are saturated with water, showing excessive and exaggerated exuberance.
That painting of mine is realistic. I did see a cactus hanging upside down and still blooming. In the past, there were many things to ward off evil spirits in Kunming: a small mirror with eight diagrams painted around it, and a cactus under the mirror-a hole was pierced in the cactus, pierced with hemp thread, and then hung on a nail. There are many cacti in Kunming, and they are very fat. Some people planted a circle of cactus around the vegetable garden instead of a fence. After planting cactus, pigs and sheep dare not eat it in the garden. Cactus has thorns, but pigs and sheep are afraid of pricking.
There are many bacteria in Kunming. Visiting the vegetable market in rainy season, you can see all kinds of bacteria at any time. Boletus at most. When boletus is eaten, every restaurant sells fried boletus, and even there is a bowl on the dining table of National Southwest Associated University. Boletus is as smooth, tender, delicious as beef liver. Stir-fried boletus must put more garlic, otherwise it will easily make people faint. Penicillium is slightly more expensive than boletus. This kind of mushroom is still light green when fried, and its style is higher than that of boletus. There is chicken fir in the bacteria, which has a fresh and rich taste and is unparalleled. Chicken fir is a rare delicacy, but it is not really expensive. The price of a plate of Chinese fir is comparable to that of a bowl of Chinese fir, because it is not rare in Yunnan. There is a joke: someone took a train from Kunming to Chenggong. On the train, he saw a chicken fir tree on the ground. He jumped down and picked it up. He can climb the train in a hurry. This joke aims to show that the train from Kunming to Chenggong is very slow, but it also shows that chicken fir can be seen everywhere. There is a kind of fungus, which tastes ugly and is called Ganba. At first glance, it's really doubtful: can this kind of food be eaten? ! The color is dark brown with green, a bit like a pile of semi-dry cow dung or a trampled hornet's nest. There are still many stalks and messy hair! However, if you work hard, you can choose the loose hair of the grass stem and clean it, tear it into thread as thick as crab legs, and then fry it with green pepper. At the entrance, you will be dumbfounded: is this thing so delicious? ! There is also an ugly fungus called chanterelle. They are all about the same size, with a sliding ring as big as a silver ring, and the color is light yellow, just like chicken oil. This fungus can only be used for color matching and has no taste.
The fruit in rainy season is bayberry. The sellers of Yangmei are all Miao girls, wearing flower hats and embroidered shoes, sitting in the corner of someone else's steps, and shouting with Jiao Jiao accent from time to time: "Yangmei is sold." Their voices soften the air in Kunming during the rainy season. Yangmei in Kunming is very big, as big as table tennis. Its colors are black, red and black. It is called "charcoal plum". It's a good name. It's like a hot briquette! Not sour at all! I have eaten Yangmei from Dongting Mountain in Suzhou and Yangmei from Jinggangshan, and it seems that they are not as good as Huotan Plum from Kunming. The flower in rainy season is osmanthus. Osmanthus fragrans is a white orchid, and Beijing is called "Balan" (this name is really unpleasant). Yunnan calls this flower osmanthus fragrans. Perhaps this flower was originally introduced from Myanmar, and its fragrance is a bit like osmanthus. In fact, this has nothing to do with osmanthus. -But then again, it's called White Orchid and Baylan elsewhere, and it doesn't get along with orchids just because it smells like orchids. The Brando I saw in my hometown is one person tall, and the Burmese laurel in Kunming is a big tree! I live at No.2 Ruoyuan Lane. There is a big osmanthus tree in the yard with dense leaves, which makes the surrounding rooms full of green. When Myanmar and Guangxi were in full bloom, the landlord (a widow in her fifties) and one of her adopted daughters took a ladder to pick them. Every day, they pick some better flowers and take them to the flower market to sell. She is probably afraid that the tenants will pick her flowers at will and often send some to every household. Sometimes send a seven-inch plate, which is full of Burmese osmanthus! Burmese osmanthus with rain beads makes me soft-hearted, not pregnant, and don't want to go home.
Rain sometimes makes people feel a little homesick. Li Shangyin's Notes for Friends in the North on a Rainy Night is written for many long-term travelers. One day, Sid and I walked from the new teaching building of the United University to the lotus pond. It was raining that morning, and I lived less. After seeing the clear water in the pool and the stone statue of Chen Yuanyuan (it is said that Chen Yuanyuan became a monk after Wu Sangui went to Yunnan and died in the lotus pond in his later years), it began to rain again. There is a small street and a small hotel near the lotus pond. We went in and asked for a plate of pork head and half a catty of wine (in a green glazed pottery cup). We sat down and it rained heavily. There are several chickens in the hotel, all with their heads behind their wings and one foot on the ground, standing motionless under the eaves. There is a big Muxiang flower in the hotel yard, and there are many Muxiang flowers in Kunming. Some small rivers are surrounded by woody plants, but such large woody plants are rare. A woody plant climbed on the shelf and covered the yard tightly. Dense and finely divided green leaves, countless half-opened white flowers and full flower bones have been soaked by rain. We can't leave, so we sit in the afternoon. Forty years later, I still can't forget the feeling of that day and wrote a poem:
"There are few pedestrians outside the lotus pond.
Moss traces in wild shops are an inch deep.
A glass of cloudy wine is after noon.
Muxianghua is wet and rainy. "
I miss the rain in Kunming.
teaching program

2. Taste the characteristics of Wang Zengqi's prose as "light and tasteful".
3. Feel the author's poetic feelings and learn to find poetry and beauty in plain life.
Teaching emphasis: taste the charming and simple natural language and understand the inner charm of the text.
Teaching difficulty: understanding the feelings between the lines of the author.
Teaching creativity: learn an article, use a method, try a style and get some inspiration.
Teaching process:
First, the introduction of new courses, causing thinking
Teacher: Before class, shall we play the game of flying flowers? The key word of our flying flower contest today is "rain".
Transition: It is also rain, which has different feelings in the works of different poets. What is the "rain" in the eyes of writer Wang Zengqi? Today, we will walk into the lyric prose Rain in Kunming.
Design intention: The introduction of poetry creates a beautiful atmosphere and arouses students' strong desire to walk into the rain and articles in Kunming. Let the students walk into the text with the expectation of reading and have a perfect encounter with the rain in Kunming. )
Second, read the text for the first time and experience the affection of trivial matters.
This is a self-reading article. Please read the text by "circle marking".
1. Circle the key sentences and feel the author's deep affection for the rain in Kunming.
Qing: I miss the rain in Kunming.
2. Circle the scenes, things and events around "Rain in Kunming" that the author mainly recalls.
Sunny: cactus hanging upside down in the rain; All kinds of delicious mushrooms; Myrica rubra that is not sour at all; Jiao Jiao's shouts; Burmese osmanthus with fragrant raindrops; Sid's old days of drinking and enjoying flowers ...
3. Thinking and questioning: Isn't the author going to write about the rain in Kunming? But where is the rain?
Sunny: ① It's all the scenery in the rain; ② It grows under the nourishment of rain.
(Design intention: Wang Zengqi confided in the article more than once: I miss the rain in Kunming, the grass and trees in Kunming, and the leisurely and beautiful life. "The rain in Kunming is about rain, but it actually depicts a story in a painting, a nostalgic time, a faint homesickness born of rain and a sense of leisure and tranquility intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in the rain. Wang Zengqi is particularly good at capturing tiny beauty and expressing deep affection in "trivial matters". He is worried about the rain in Kunming, and all the personnel scenes in his works are shrouded in gentle drizzle. The deeper his feelings, the smaller the carrier of his feelings. Everything in Kunming, the "trivia" in life, seems to be scattered in the rain, but all of them are permeated with the author's thoughts and nostalgia for the past. Perceive the full text initially, guide students to grasp the content of the article as a whole, clarify the author's writing ideas, cultivate students' generalization ability and experience the feelings of small things. )
Third, freeze the lens and feel the characteristics of the rainy season in Kunming.
1. What are the characteristics of Rain in Kunming in Wang Zengqi's eyes? Try to sum it up with one or two words in the text.
Sunny: The air is humid and the rainy season is quite long, but it is not boring and the air pressure is not low. People are comfortable. The rainy season in Kunming is bright, full and emotional, and it is dark green.
2. Choose a kind of scenery in this article to feel the characteristics of rainy season in Kunming.
The teacher used a picture as an example: "Look, the cactus hanging upside down at the door is" thick green, rich and extremely fat ". Such a vigorous cactus is nourished by the rain in Kunming, so the rainy season in Kunming is thick green and full.
(Design intention: overall perception, pursuit of beauty, poetic reproduction, etc. Guide students to experience the beauty, poetry and deep feelings conveyed by the author through the rain in Kunming and the scenery and people in the rain in the process of reading characters silently. This link has achieved the learning goal of "understanding the characteristics of rain in Kunming". )
Fourth, read the text and experience the sentiment.
"Forty years later, I still can't forget the feeling of that day." Which pictures in the text are very emotional? Read the sentences and discuss the emotional content in groups. Teacher's example analysis: Little girl selling bayberry: (1) Read aloud: "All the bayberry sellers are Miao girls." ... in Jiao Jiao's voice. (2) Tasting: A few strokes draw an impressive picture, depicting a charming, quiet and lovely girl image. In her early years, she had to sell bayberry to supplement her family. Life should be hard, but she still wears a flowered hat and shoes embroidered with flowers, which shows that she loves beauty and is full of hope for life.
Group cooperation experience: preset "mother and daughter send osmanthus to Myanmar" and "drinking with friends in the rain".
Analysis: The poor little girl who loves beauty, the landlord and mother who share the sweet-scented osmanthus in Myanmar, is brave and calm in the face of hard life. They live bright, full and full of feelings, just like those tenacious, tall and beautiful cacti.
Design intention: Wang Zengqi's prose is picturesque, quiet and beautiful, which requires constant reading and deep thinking, and makes full use of reading tips and comments. In class, students should not only give them back their time, let them immerse themselves in the textbooks and "read" alone, but also let them "read" purposefully with their learning tasks so that they can put them back and forth freely. This link is intended to grasp the key points and discover beauty and harmony. )
Fifth, cooperative inquiry, the language of analysis is light and tasteful.
Teacher: Wang Anyi's evaluation of Wang Zengqi: When you read his prose, it's like listening to an old man talking about his family. It is slow, leisurely and ordinary, but if you just understand his prose in this way, it will be too superficial ... the whole plot, the thinking of every sentence and even the punctuation practice of his article are full of feelings.
Task list of group cooperative learning:
Activity 1: I am a reader.
Please read your favorite sentence as a reader. Students can find out their favorite paragraphs. By reading aloud, they feel the beauty of scenery, interest, human feelings or atmosphere, sketch in circles, taste the "plain and tasteful" language in the text, and experience Wang Zengqi's special feelings about the rainy season in Kunming, and feel the beauty of the text and the beauty of its inner meaning.
Example: ① Boletus is as smooth, tender, delicious as beef liver. "Smooth, tender and delicious." Can you change the comma into a pause?
Clear: No, it reflects the author's intoxication and praise. Teachers and students sum up together: Wang Lao has a magical pen, and he drew a picture with a few strokes, sometimes with vivid metaphors, sometimes without metaphors, but only a few small punctuation marks can always make us feel the situation at that time.
At first glance, it's really doubtful: can this kind of food be eaten? ! ..... The entrance will make you tongue-tied: Is this thing so delicious? !
Qing: Write the ugly shape of Ganba mushroom through metaphor, which is in sharp contrast with the delicious taste after the entrance, and write the author's surprise and love for the delicious taste of Ganba mushroom. "?" "!" The use of ""is not only concise, friendly and colloquial reading, but also highlights the author's amazement and love. Follow-up: If you put an exclamation point before these two sentences to express the author's feelings, what would you add?
Preset: (Hey) Can I eat this food? ! (Wow/Ah) Is this food so delicious? !
Read each other between teachers and students, once again realize the author's love and nostalgia for delicious mushrooms in rainy season, and remind students to pay attention to punctuation marks at the end of sentences.
Comments in time: Mushrooms belong to the rainy season in Kunming, and the color and fragrance of mushrooms belong to the interesting gourmet Wang Zengqi. It is because people's hearts are interesting that articles are interesting. Wang Zengqi's prose is so unpretentious, natural and interesting.
Hotel drinks: a remote street, a quiet small hotel, a table, two stools, a plate of fat but not greasy pig's head meat on the table, half a catty of wine, friends sitting opposite, the rain outside the store, faint flowers, time seems to stand still at this moment. How beautiful this leisurely and plain atmosphere is!
(Design intention: Wang Zengqi's prose is light and tasteful, so it needs to be read and pondered constantly, and make full use of reading tips and comments. In class, we should not only return the time to students, let them immerse themselves in textbooks and "read" alone, but also let them "read" purposefully with their learning tasks, thus realizing freedom. This link is intended to grasp the key points and discover the difficulties of beauty and taste. In order to guide students to taste the language emotionally, instead of sliding on the surface of the text indifferently, I have designed some activities to provide students with as many opportunities as possible to show their "talents", encourage students to have personalized experiences and expressions, make reading a pleasing enjoyment, become a stage for students to express themselves, and let students find their favorite language for analysis and thinking, which fully embodies students' dominant position, respects students' individuality, and is reading-oriented, understanding and reading. In the stage of group discussion, teachers participate in group learning and give necessary guidance and control to the process of group learning. )
Activity 2: Video Appreciation: Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles-Steamed Chicken
This family is so famous. First of all, the soup is good. The noodle soup is covered with oil and seems to have no heat, but the temperature of the soup is above 100 degrees. It is said that there is a "Xiajiang man" driver who doesn't know the rules of crossing the bridge rice noodle. When the soup was served, he gulped it down and was burned to death. Second, the slicing materials are exquisite. Chicken slices, fish slices, waist slices and ham slices are all cut very thin and intact, so that the soup bowl can be cooked instantly, just right.
Design intention: This course belongs to self-study, and the key point is that students should learn the ability of independent reading and understanding, and be able to use this ability for independent learning. Students can read Wang Zengqi's "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles-Steamed Chicken" and feel a bowl of ordinary crossing the bridge rice noodles written by the author. Language is as common as rain, but it makes people feel full, bright and emotional.
Activity 3: Try the knife: China on the tip of the tongue.
China people's feelings about food are mostly homesickness, nostalgia and nostalgia for the past. What's the taste of your hometown? Imitate the author's simple and homely language style, select the special food in his hometown and write a few interesting words.
(Design Intention: The most natural and wonderful practice in prose teaching is reading language and expressing emotions. Chinese teaching is the highlight of Chinese classroom teaching in middle schools. We should pay attention to students' language practice and explore innovative design of language teaching. Enrich emotions and enhance the ability to describe life in various reading, writing and creative activities. Learning and using flexibly not only trains students to master the language, but also expresses their love for their hometown. )
Sixth, step by step to realize beauty and feel the author's poetic aesthetics.
In the author's eyes, everything is beautiful and poetic. Why does the author describe Kunming so beautifully?
The background information turns out that Wang Zengqi's life is extremely difficult. He experienced a period of complete social transformation in China. 1939, he was admitted to the National Southwest Associated University, where he met literary celebrities such as Shen Congwen and Wen Yiduo. During this period, although his life was hard, his spirit was greatly satisfied. In Kunming, Wang Zengqi also entered a creative peak, at the same time, he also gained the love of his life. Therefore, there is no doubt that his seven years in Kunming. -"Wang Zengqi in Kunming"
Because of love, the scenery, things, people and things he wrote are particularly emotional. Because of love, emotions are as long as rain. Because love, writing and language are like rain.
Reading, reading and sharing
Teachers can guide students to combine text content with real life, extend "I find _ _ _ _ is also a kind of beauty" from class to class, guide students to observe life, feel the interest and beauty of life, and cultivate students' ability to combine reading and writing.
(Design intention: Teacher Wang recorded the poetry in ordinary life and the beauty and goodness in ordinary people with the most emotional words. Although he experienced ups and downs, he thought of suicide because he couldn't find a job after graduation, and he collapsed. But he always found the beauty and interest of life with a calm and poetic aesthetic attitude. He once said: "In any adversity, you can't lose your lyrical interest and love for life." Guide students to feel the author's poetic feelings and learn to find poetry and beauty in plain life. )
Seven, class summary:
The rain in Kunming is bright, full and full of emotion ... Mr. Wang Zengqi's prose seems casual, but in fact it is ingenious. Behind this kind of "painstaking management casually" is the capture of the subtle beauty of life and the relaxed and free brushwork of the master. If you are not satisfied with Wang Lao's prose and want to know more about Wang Lao, you can look at his works Plants on Earth and Light is the Strongest Taste of Life.
