Abstract:
Learning the Chinese language has become a pearl of worldwide attention. Its development confirms that interest in Chinese culture is growing from year to year. Cultural inheritance depends on teaching. The introduction and progress of education have a strong influence on the popularization of culture. Focusing on the traditional Chinese teaching model, the current situation in Chinese teaching will be analyzed, the basic principles will be described, and targeted and effective methods of teaching the Chinese language will be proposed.

In modern Chinese education, there are three main principles. The first principle pays much attention to" words "and" sentences," the emphasis is placed on" listening "and" speaking," as well as Chinese characters. Learning Chinese characters takes a back seat because it is quite a thorough and complicated process. The primary study of Chinese writing negates the charm of the Chinese language and culture. The second principle is to create practicality and clarity of learning. Usefulness is to create a real language learning situation; that is, the introduction of speech practice using the principle of "approximation." It is possible and necessary to ignore errors in students' speech that do not interfere with the achievement of the goal of their utterance. It allows a teacher to mobilize the student's enthusiasm.

The third principle is that teachers need to help students learn the purpose and meaning of learning Chinese. Only understanding the ultimate goal of students will help ensure targeted learning.

Students 'learning can be divided into the following three stages:
- the initial stage is the period when students develop necessary speech abilities, and it should focus on the development of language abilities;
- the intermediate stage is when students' communication skills are gradually acquired and should be developed.

The focus is on skills;
-the advanced stage is when students form speech acts, develop the habit of thinking in Chinese, and focus on developing social and cultural abilities.

As a unique tool in economic, trade, and social exchanges between people, language, and text mix, they make a considerable contribution to the development and progress of human society. With the globalization of the world economy, Chinese culture is increasingly important in the global cultural market. Westerners prefer Chinese culture and show a unique fascination with Chinese culture. Teaching Chinese as a foreign language has to go a long way, not only to help students overcome obstacles in learning the language but also to see the deep fascination of Chinese culture.
