Let China's splendid history and culture be passed down overseas (pictures) Documentary of the Chinese Knowledge Competition -- Shen Haojin, a fourth-grade teacher at the Modern Chinese School in Alberta …

In the quiet classroom, only the rustling sound of pen writing could be heard, and all 34 students in the class were concentrating on answering the test questions. This is the written test part of the "Chinese Culture Knowledge Competition" organized by our school in the fourth grade "Ma Liping" class. The written test part includes 50 multiple-choice questions about Chinese history, from the stories of the ancestors of the Chinese nation "Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor" learned in the textbook, to the extracurricular supplementary stories of Sun Bin, Sanqi Zhou Yu...; from the four great inventions of ancient times, to the four great masterpieces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties; from "Kong Rong gave the pear" to "Meng Meng "Three Movements of the Mother"; from the Three National Essences to the Four Treasures of the Study; from "The Analects of Confucius" to "Compendium of Materia Medica"... Although these test questions only cover a small part of China's 5,000-year history and culture, it is not easy for Banana, whose average age in our class is only 10 years old, to fully grasp it. But surprisingly, most students completed all the questions within 20 minutes. What is even more surprising is that three students reached 100 points, and a total of 16 students scored 90 or above. Behind the good results lies the diligent efforts of the students and the meticulous "accompanying" spirit of the parents.

The second part of the competition, the oral test, the idiom story performance, is even more exciting. The humorous "There is no silver here", the lively "Fox pretends to be powerful", the profound "blind man touching the elephant" and "self-contradiction", and the "Cheng Menli Xue" who respects teachers and loves to learn, not only won rounds of applause from the students in the audience, but also made the parents who acted as judges sigh. From Ma Liping's first grade to Ma Liping's fourth grade, there are about 30 idioms appearing in books. Many students have only a partial understanding of these idioms and swallow them wholeheartedly. Such competitions can not only test students' speaking proficiency, but are also beneficial for students to better understand and use these idioms.
