Аннотация: Кытай тилин окутууда ал элдин маданияты жөнүндө айтуу өзгөчө маанилүү. Кытай маданиятына үрп-адаттар, тамак-аш түрү, кийим-кечек, ыр-бий жанрлары, сүрөт искусствосу, тил жана тарых илимдери кирет. Тилди чындап өздөштүрүү үчүн ошол элдин маданиятын билүүбүз зарыл. Кытай тилин чет тили катары окутууда кытай маданиятын жеткиликтүү билүү негизги ас- пектилерден болуп саналат. Кытай тилин чет тили катары үйрөнүүдө ал элдин маданий байланышын толук аңдап билүү үчүн коммуникативдик компетенцияны өнүктүрүү, колдонуу керек. Кытай тилин чет тили катары үйрөнүүдө студенттер эреже катары кытай коому, маданияты тууралуу көптү билиши керек, ошондой эле чыныгы маданий өзгөчөлүктөрүн үйрөнүүлөрү керек. Ошондуктан кы- тай тилин чет тили катары окутуу кытай маданиятын, тарыхын, адабиятын окутуудан бөлүнүп каралбайт. Түйүндүү сөздөр: кытай маданияты, кытай тилин чет тили катары окутуу, маданий алака, коммуникативдик компетенция, үрп-адат. Аннотация: Культура чрезвычайно важна в преподавании китайского языка. Культура Китая включает в себя обычаи и традиции, кухню, одежду, музыку, танцы, живопись, язык и историю. Чтобы по-настоящему овладеть языком, мы должны изучить культуру, которую представляет данный язык. Соответствующее знание китайской культуры также является одним из аспектов содержания преподавания китайского языка как иностранного. Коммуникативная компетенция, которая должна развиваться при обучении китайскому языку как иностранному, на самом деле является способностью к межкультурному общению. Изучая китайский язык, иностранные студенты, как правило, должны больше знать о китайском обществе и культуре, а также изучить профессиональные культурные знания. Поэтому преподавание китайского языка как иностранного неотделимо от преподавания китайской культуры, истории и литературы. Ключевые слова: Китайская культура, преподавание китайского языка как иностранного, культурный обмен, коммуникативная компетенция, обычаи и традиции. Annotation: Culture is very important in teaching Chinese language. To know language really well, we must learn the culture that the given language is represent. Appropriate knowledge of Chinese culture is one the aspects of content of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Communicative competence, which should be developed when learning Chinese as a foreign language, is in fact the ability to intercultural communication. Foreign students in learning Chinese, as a rule, should know more about Chinese society and culture, also learn well professional cultural knowledge. Therefore, the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language is inseparable from the teaching of Chineseculture, history and literature. Keywords: Chinese culture, teaching Chinese language as a foreign language, cultural exchange, communicative competence, customs and traditions.

Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is a new discipline that has rapidly developed, but Chinese characters are difficult to be taught and write. For bahasa Indonesia doesn't have any relation with Mandarin, it is easy to make mistake in learning Mandarin. When Indonesian students learned Chinese characters, they found that Chinese characters were one of the difficulties. Some of the students realized the importance of Chinese characters. They had learned every day, but the results were not ideal. Because some of the students did not learn very well in Chinese word, it affected their improvement in their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill, also it affected their interest in learning Chinese.

Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is actually the teaching of Chinese as a second language by international Chinese teachers. People must learn vocabulary as a language element in the process of language acquisition. Without vocabulary, there is no language. When we master the vocabulary of a language, we rely on mental lexicon, which is vocabulary that has been stored in the brain for a long time. Through the study of second language mental lexicon, it can be used effectively, and corresponding teaching methods can be used in the vocabulary teaching of Chinese as a foreign language to help students learn Chinese quickly and effectively.

As a critical auxiliary method in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, Chinese songs have the characteristics of a strong sense of rhythm, extensive vocabulary, and rich cultural knowledge. Previous studies have mostly discussed the use of Chinese songs in Chinese teaching from the perspective of teaching methods, teaching experiment design and textbooks. There is no specific research on the construction of a database of Chinese song ratings for Chinese learners of different levels. Based on Internet resources, this study collected 9098 Chinese song lyrics and built a database. Based on the analysis of the characteristic data in the database and the method of building a vector space model, four songs of different difficulty levels were divided, which was respectively targeted at Chinese learners of different levels. This research can reduce Chinese teachers 'lesson preparation time and improve teachers' teaching efficiency.
