①從政府人員組成看,南京政府是一個以資產(chǎn)階級革命派為主體的政府。②從政府頒發(fā)的法令和措施看,這些法令體現(xiàn)了資產(chǎn)階級民主革命的要求,對于發(fā)展民族資本主義經(jīng)濟、資產(chǎn)階級民主政治和文化教育以及改革社會風(fēng)氣,都起了積極作用。③從頒布的《中華民國臨時約法》看,憲法體現(xiàn)了三權(quán)分立的政治體制,體現(xiàn)了資產(chǎn)階級民主主義的要求,是中國歷史上第一部資產(chǎn)階級民主憲法,具有反封建專制制度的進步意義。(2)從南京臨時政府的內(nèi)外政策分析南京政府的根本弱點①未徹底地反封建。它沒有采取比較徹底的反對封建主義的措施,特別是對封建統(tǒng)治的基礎(chǔ)——地主階級土地所有制沒有觸動,這樣,南京臨時政府也就不能真正地把廣大人民群眾動員起來,因而缺乏真正的群眾基礎(chǔ)。

教材分析改革開放后我國的綜合國力不斷增強,人民對祖國統(tǒng)一的愿望越來越迫切。本節(jié)課以“一國兩制”構(gòu)想的提出,香港、澳門的回歸和海峽兩岸關(guān)系的發(fā)展為中心,說明實現(xiàn)祖國統(tǒng)一,完成中華民族復(fù)興是歷史發(fā)展的必然。第一目“‘一國兩制’構(gòu)想的提出”主要講述了“一國兩制”的含義及歷史意義。第二目“香港、澳門的回歸”著重講述了香港回歸、澳門回歸的經(jīng)過及歷史意義,這是“一國兩制”成功的實踐。第三目“海峽兩岸關(guān)系的發(fā)展”講述了大陸注重發(fā)展與臺灣的關(guān)系,促進海峽兩岸的經(jīng)濟文化交流與合作,打破了幾十年來海峽兩岸的隔絕狀態(tài),促進了祖國統(tǒng)一的進程。此外,教材還通過“資料回放”“歷史縱橫”“學(xué)思之窗”等欄目,為學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)提供了一些詳細的史料。在教學(xué)中要分析圖表資料,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生理解完成祖國統(tǒng)一大業(yè),實現(xiàn)中華民族的復(fù)興,是任何人也阻擋不了的歷史潮流。

二、程朱理學(xué):1、宋代“理學(xué)”的產(chǎn)生:(1)含義:所謂“理學(xué)”,就是用“理學(xué)”一詞來指明當(dāng)時兩宋時期所呈現(xiàn)出來的儒學(xué)。廣義的理學(xué),泛指以討論天道問題為中心的整個哲學(xué)思潮,包括各種不同的學(xué)派;狹義的理學(xué),專指程顥、程頤、朱熹為代表的,以“理”為最高范疇的學(xué)說,稱為“程朱理學(xué)”。理學(xué)是北宋政治、社會、經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的理論表現(xiàn),是中國古代哲學(xué)長期發(fā)展的結(jié)果,是批判佛、道學(xué)說的產(chǎn)物。他們把“理”或“天理”視作哲學(xué)的最高范疇,認為理無所不在,不生不滅,不僅是世界的本原,也是社會生活的最高準(zhǔn)則。在窮理方法上,程顥“主靜”,強調(diào)“正心誠意”;程頤“主敬”,強調(diào)“格物致知”。在人性論上,二程主張“去人欲,存天理”,并深入闡釋這一觀點使之更加系統(tǒng)化。二程學(xué)說的出現(xiàn),標(biāo)志著宋代“理學(xué)”思想體系的正式形成?!竞献魈骄俊克未袄韺W(xué)”興起的社會條件:
畫中的諸多圖像反映了畫家對于傳統(tǒng)繪畫因素的吸收。那個懷抱死去孩子的母親圖像,似乎是源自哀悼基督的圣母像傳統(tǒng);手持油燈的女人,使人聯(lián)想起自由女神像的造型;那個高舉雙手仰天驚呼的形象,與戈雅畫中愛國者就義的身姿不無相似之處;而那個張臂倒地的士兵形象,則似乎與意大利文藝復(fù)興早期某些戰(zhàn)爭畫中的形象,有著姻親關(guān)系。由此可以看出,畢加索不僅是一位富于叛逆精神的大膽創(chuàng)新者,同時也是一位尊崇和精通傳統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)家。教師須強調(diào):現(xiàn)代主義美術(shù)是現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派的總稱,現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派眾多,多姿多彩,但它們也表現(xiàn)出許多共同的特征。在技法上,它們大都反對傳統(tǒng)的寫實主義,追求新奇,空間結(jié)構(gòu)錯亂,色彩配置隨意,點線紊亂,缺乏透視可謂它們共有的特點。在創(chuàng)作主旨上,它們都主張強調(diào)自我,表現(xiàn)個人情感和內(nèi)心世界??梢哉f,現(xiàn)代美術(shù)藝術(shù)再現(xiàn)了20世紀(jì)西方世界的精神狀況。
商業(yè)活動、人口遷徙、教育活動是文化傳播的主要途徑。隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的不斷進步,文化傳播的手段也越來越多樣,越來越先進?,F(xiàn)代文化傳播已經(jīng)不僅限于這些,傳播的媒介越來越多。經(jīng)歷了口語、文字、印刷、電子和網(wǎng)絡(luò)等發(fā)展階段。二、大眾傳媒:現(xiàn)代文化傳播的手段1、 傳媒:傳播的媒介2、 發(fā)展:口語――文字――印刷――電子――網(wǎng)絡(luò)3、 現(xiàn)代傳媒包括:報刊、廣播、電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、雜志、書籍、手機、電子讀物等各種現(xiàn)代傳媒的作用各具特色,各有優(yōu)點。(學(xué)生討論并暢談各自的優(yōu)缺點)歸納:新的傳媒的出現(xiàn),并不意味著舊傳媒的消失,各種傳媒都在文化傳播中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。傳媒的真正開始面向大眾傳遞信息,是以印刷媒體的推廣為標(biāo)志的。如今,依托電子技術(shù)、微電子技術(shù)、光纖通信技術(shù)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)、多媒體技術(shù)等現(xiàn)代信息技術(shù),大眾傳媒能夠最大程度地穿越時空局限,匯集來自世界各地的信息,日益顯示出文化傳遞、溝通、共享的強大功能,已經(jīng)成為文化傳播的主要手段。
(一)、生活中的文化傳播◇課堂探究:(1)旅游歸來,介紹異國他鄉(xiāng)的風(fēng)俗人情、奇聞趣事;闔家團聚,高談闊論各自的所見所聞;獨居一室,打開收音機收聽節(jié)目……這些現(xiàn)象具有哪些共同特點?生活中還有哪些現(xiàn)象屬于文化傳播?(2)你能歸納出文化傳播主要有哪幾種方式嗎?◇探究提示:(1)這些現(xiàn)象都屬于文化傳播,通過這些活動傳遞知識、信息、觀念、情感和信仰等。生活中朋友聚會、參加娛樂活動、在家上網(wǎng)看電視等,都屬于文化傳播。(2)文化傳播主要方式有:商業(yè)活動、人口遷徙、教育、文化娛樂活動等。1.文化傳播的含義文化交流的過程,就是文化傳播的過程。那么何為文化傳播?人們通過一定的方式傳遞知識、信息、觀念、情感和信仰,以及與此相關(guān)的所有社會交往活動,都可視為文化傳播。
