“风马牛”一词在我们的日常生活中运用非常广泛,但究其内在的涵义,尤其是“风”的意义却一直有着常见的三种说法:一、走失;二、牝牡相诱;三、风向(自然界中的风)。对三种理解进行比较研究,结论是:风的涵义理解为牝牡相诱更为恰当。如此运用广泛的一个惯用语,去追根溯源,理清其具体涵义,无疑是语文探究性学习的一个很鲜活的例子。这种抛砖引玉可以让学生感受语文学习的价值与魅力、感受语文的工具性与人文性,体会语文的生活化。 The term “windy cow” is widely used in our daily life, but its intrinsic meaning, especially the meaning of “wind”, has always had three common saying: First, the loss; Second,牝 Mutant lure; Third, the wind (the wind in nature). Comparative study of the three kinds of understanding, the conclusion is: the meaning of the wind understood as Qiu Mu lure is more appropriate. Using a wide range of idioms in this way to trace their origins and clarify their specific meanings is undoubtedly a very vivid example of inquiry learning in Chinese. This kind of advice can allow students to experience the value of Chinese learning and charm, feel the instrumental and humanistic language, experience the language of life.
