"Language is rich in culture。To learn a foreign language is to understand a culture。In the Japanese language class, I will guide students to further establish their cultural confidence in the excellent traditional Chinese culture in the comparative study of Chinese and Japanese culture。When she talks about the Japanese tea ceremony spirit of "peace and quietness" in class, she will guide students to think about the ways and contexts of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges and communication, think about the philosophy, ethics and aesthetics reflected in cultural phenomena, and guide students to further strengthen cultural self-confidence and establish the aspiration of a strong country in the depth of the historical contrast between China and Japan。

"Accurate mastery and flexible use are the keys to language learning。In Zhang Yuanhui's view, teaching students to "speak" is only the basis for learning language, and the most important thing is to guide students to think about "why do so translate" and "how should I translate", help students learn to think in the process of language communication, and then help students build their own thinking framework and truly control language tools。

"On the basis of good lessons, guiding students to apply theoretical knowledge is a key issue to achieve the integration of science and education.。In the usual study life, she also pays attention to guiding students to find problems from their own perspective, and cultivate students' ability to study true knowledge and solve real problems。
