Aren't China people's love stories suitable for teaching Chinese as a foreign language?

Some love stories of China can well reflect the traditional culture of China. As the carrier of traditional civilization, putting some appropriate and positive love and marriage stories into teaching materials for teaching Chinese as a foreign language can not only let people in other countries know about China, but also promote the spread of China culture. Therefore, if the materials are properly selected, they can be used as teaching materials for teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

There is no uniform pattern and definition of marriage and love in China. Therefore, Chinese marriage and love are diverse and rich, some are feudal, and some are open and inclusive. If we want to use them as materials for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, we need stories that can represent China's cultural character.

The main story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is that two young people fall in love and despair for love. This can show our reserved and unyielding character and can be integrated into teaching Chinese as a foreign language as a part of our traditional culture.

When it comes to "Chinese style", many people instinctively think of the autocratic, closed and even cruel feudal marriage system. In ancient times, "parents' orders and matchmakers' words" were emphasized, but children's wishes were generally not respected, and sometimes men and women who were in free love were separated. These bad systems are the dregs of feudal society and are not suitable for teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

Similarly, in modern society, there are still some places where seemingly "Chinese style" is actually vulgar wedding methods, which turn happy events into farce. This is the bad side of "Chinese style".

A country's traditional culture always has its essence and dross. Every country is trying to integrate excellent traditional culture into the present society, while abandoning the influence of bad culture. Introducing Chinese-style love stories into textbooks for teaching Chinese as a foreign language is a way to publicize and popularize China's excellent culture. Therefore, we should try our best to explore stories that can represent excellent culture, so that modern people can learn good marriage and love concepts embodied in stories, such as loyalty and respect for each other.
