Cher's 'Learn and Then' Chaper,

將網站命名為「學而知中文xué ér zhī zhōng wén」主要採自Cher Shares Chinese發聲相似的靈感。 ‘Shares’ 與中文「學而知xué ér zhī」的音接近，而Chinese 的中文翻譯則是「中文zhōng wén」。另為一個原因，也是受到孔子主要言論集「論語」，其中「學而篇」的啟示－「學而時習之，不亦悅乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎?」 意思是說除了做人處事的道理，並在適當的時機加以印證練習，不也覺得高興嗎？志同道合的朋友從遠方來相聚，不也感到快樂嗎？
「學而後知不足」, 透過網絡的分享，又重新讓我更加深入的學習，不管是你還是我，當愈加鑽研之時，我們對知識的渴求愈加深入，也愈感覺自己所學的不足。知識的浩瀚是如此無遠弗屆，也是這樣，讓我們墜入中國文字的優美和悠久傳承的歷史文化軌跡之中。 「學而知中文」，透過學習，我們認識中文，了解中國文字和文化，互相學習，互相砥礪。 孔子說：「學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆」；西方的哲人康德則說：「感性無知性則盲，知性無感性則空」。學思並行，感性與理性並重。中學為體，西學為用。所以說Cher Shares Chinese! 就如同本人－雪兒的學而篇一般，在教學之餘，不斷切磋琢蘑，累進自己教學的經驗！若能踩在雲端的上頭，與大家快樂分享「學而知中文」的點滴，不也快哉！樂哉！

The reason that this site is named "xué ér zhī zhōng wén 學而知中文" is mainly from the sound derivation of ‘Cher Shares Chinese’. 'Shares' is close to the Chinese pronunciation of "學而知 xué ér zhī", while the translation of 'Chinese' is "中文 zhōng wén". Another reason is also inspired by the 'Xue-Er Chapter', from the Analects of our great thinker, Confucius. "Isn't it a pleasure of learning something and then realize it at the due intervals? Isn't it joyful to have friends visiting from afar? Isn't it a gentleman who never get offended even others fail to appreciate his abilities?'
"After Learning and (then) knowing not enough". By sharing Chinese via the Internet, it has again allowed me to learn more deeply. I believe it also applies to you. As we study more, our thirst for knowledge becomes deeper and we feel our deficiencies even more. The vastness of knowledge is so far-reaching that we fall into the enriched Chinese histories and profound cultures. "Learning and knowing Chinese." Through learning, we understand Chinese, and get to know the beauty of the Chinese characters and cultures. We learn from each other, and strengthen our knowledge after then. Confucius said："Without thinking, learning will be confused; without learning, thinking will be dubious." Western philosopher, Kant said : "Perceptual ignorance is blind, intellectual without perceptuality is empty". Learning and thinking go hand-in-hand. 'Cher Shares Chinese' web site, which was built initially for my Chinese teaching, has accumulated my pedagogical approaches and experiences, and also forces me to get more in-depth exploration of the Chinese knowledges. It is like my 'Learn & Then' chapter (Cher' Xue'r Chapter). It is indeed joyful that I can share some Chinese knowledges and continue to ponder my thoughts through the Clouds! |
