人教版高中语文必修4《李清照词两首》教案
2．【提问】《醉花阴》反映的是早年丈夫赵明诚游宦在外，作者一个人留在家中的生活状况和内心感受。对于这样的“闺怨”题材，应当怎样评价呢？【明确】作者作为一个封建时代的妇女，能够坦率地表达出自己对于丈夫深深的思恋之情，描写了闺中生活的孤独寂寞，这在当时乃是一种很大胆的行为。所以，有人批评说：李清照作词是“无顾忌”地“肆意落笔”。其实，感情的充沛、真挚，敢于正面地展露自己的行为和内心世界，正是她创作成功的重要原因之一，也正是她的词最值得珍视的地方。3．【提问】古人常常爱用花比喻人之美貌，如“芙蓉如面柳如眉”，“人面桃花相映红”等，而李清照却说“人比黄花瘦”，这样的比喻有什么丰富的内涵？【明确】黄色的菊花不止外形上雅淡、清秀，与作者因相思而消瘦的体态相近，而且在菊花品格的传统象征意义上，也酷似作者清高、淡泊的精神，这样的比喻正比较恰切地反映了当时作者由于离开丈夫而孤独、愁闷的生活状态和内心情感。

二、程朱理学：1、宋代“理学”的产生：（1）含义：所谓“理学”，就是用“理学”一词来指明当时两宋时期所呈现出来的儒学。广义的理学，泛指以讨论天道问题为中心的整个哲学思潮，包括各种不同的学派；狭义的理学，专指程颢、程颐、朱熹为代表的，以“理”为最高范畴的学说，称为“程朱理学”。理学是北宋政治、社会、经济发展的理论表现，是中国古代哲学长期发展的结果，是批判佛、道学说的产物。他们把“理”或“天理”视作哲学的最高范畴，认为理无所不在，不生不灭，不仅是世界的本原，也是社会生活的最高准则。在穷理方法上，程颢“主静”，强调“正心诚意”；程颐“主敬”，强调“格物致知”。在人性论上，二程主张“去人欲，存天理”，并深入阐释这一观点使之更加系统化。二程学说的出现，标志着宋代“理学”思想体系的正式形成。【合作探究】宋代“理学”兴起的社会条件：
