Wang Liqun has long been familiar with the stories in the "Historical Records", and he selected 60 wonderful stories of traditional Chinese culture that children aged 6-18 should know from the 130 articles in the "Historical Records". "It took me three years to select 60 representative character stories in the "Historical Records", and the order of the stories is basically in the order of the time when the main characters are alive, so that readers can form a rough positioning of the positions of historical figures in the long river of history and avoid the chronological dislocation of shapes and objects. In the selection of characters, it takes into account the understanding of children, the role played by characters in history, and the characters are helpful to children's learning Xi and growth, while taking into account the detailed and appropriate details of each story. ”
This set of books is not based on a single article in the "Historical Records", but widely occupies the materials: one is to synthesize the relevant content of the relevant catalogs in the "Historical Records", and the other is to open up the relevant documents in the "Historical Records" and "Zuo Chuan" and "Warring States Policy" and other books, and corroborate each other, so that children can have a more comprehensive understanding of the real history. It is more important to give children a reading perspective, not only to know what it is, but also to know why it is so. At the end of the story, Wang Liqun also made a unique comment on the story.
Many books on the market only write fragments of characters, while Wang Liqun writes about the lives of characters. These characters in "Historical Records" have failed first and then succeeded, some are late bloomers, some endure humiliation, and some have ...... who succeed first and then failThey have all gone through an extraordinary life, and through these stories, they have subtly sharpened their children's lives, so that children can inherit excellent traditional culture, improve their ideological realm, and enhance their cultural self-confidence. Wang Liqun said.
At the event, Wang Liqun shared the book "Reading Historical Records, Becoming a Great Tool" with readers from the aspects of writing background, why children read "Historical Records", and what they learned from "Historical Records", supplemented by vivid and vivid cases of classic characters in "Historical Records".
I write this set of books to tell history from a literary point of view, and the last stanza of each story is a literary essay. Wang Liqun said: "To read history, we need to read stories, but the fundamental purpose is to be wise and reasonable. Because of the different times and different value orientations, children's ability to understand problems is being cultivated, and it is necessary to guide how to read some of the stories recorded in the "Historical Records" and what to Xi from middle school. It is necessary to adopt different methods according to the different contents of the "Historical Records", and some need to be categorical, criticizing what should be criticized, and praising what should be praised;Some just need a little guidance to stimulate the child's spontaneous thinking. ”
Reading "Historical Records" can learn knowledge, increase wisdom, and understand the principles of life and affairs. The Chronicles can tell us how we came to be;The Chronicles can also tell us how we should live in the presentThe Chronicles can also tell us how we can move towards a better future. Wang Liqun said.
