中国象棋 | Chinese Chess (Xiangqi)

授课老师:朱铁源


🌟 中国象棋是中国传统的益智棋类游戏,有着几千年的历史。
      中国象棋的棋盘中间有一条 “楚河汉界”,这是它和国际象棋最大的不同之一。它使用 “将、士、象、车、马、炮、兵” 等棋子,摆放在棋盘的交叉点上,而不是格子里。棋子不能像国际象棋那样随意走,每个棋子都有自己独特的走法。
✍️ 下棋时需要动脑思考、提前计划,非常锻炼逻辑能力;中国象棋不仅好玩,还能帮助学生提高专注力和耐心。
🖋️ 通过学习中国象棋,学生可以了解中国文化,体验中华智慧的魅力。 


      

🌟  Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) is a traditional Chinese strategy game with a history of thousands of years.
The board has a special dividing line called the “River,” which is one of the biggest differences from Western chess. It uses pieces such as the General, Advisor, Elephant, Chariot, Horse, Cannon, and Soldier, which are placed on the intersections of the board rather than in squares. Each piece has its own unique movement rules. 

✍️  Playing Chinese chess requires thinking ahead and planning strategies, helping students develop strong logical thinking skills. It is not only fun, but also helps improve focus and patience. 

 🖋️  By learning Chinese chess, students can explore Chinese culture and experience the wisdom of traditional Chinese thinking. 

Suitable For:
• Students aged

中文周末课程 | Chinese Saturday Program

        多年来,不少家长对暨南大学出版社的《中文》教材表示不满,认为其词汇量偏低、内容陈旧、语言不够优美,难以激发学生学习中文的兴趣与热情。为了提升中文教学质量,并在董事会的大力支持与推动下,中文学校决定自今年起启用人民教育出版社的《语文》教材。

鉴于周末授课时间有限,学校对中文课程安排作出如下调整:

  • K班:教材保持不变; 
  • 一年级:使用《人教版语文一年级(上)》; 
  • 二年级:使用《人教版语文一年级(下)》; 
  • 三年级:使用《人教版语文二年级(上)》;

  • 五年级 (原六-七年级合班):使用《人教版语文三年级(上)》; 
  • 六年级 (原八-十年级合班):使用《人教版语文三年级(下)》。
