As an essential tool for students' learning, dictionaries play an important role in supporting their learning progress. Recently, however, some people have questioned the compilation of the Xinhua Dictionary, arguing that it has some ambiguous annotations, which have had a negative impact on the development of students' thoughts. This article will delve into this question and reflect on the phenomenon of ideological regression in education.
1. "*Sexuality": Why did the annotation choose to belittle women?
When the new edition of the Xinhua Dictionary explains the verb "play", it chooses to interpret its compound words as "**sex". This explanation is puzzling, because there are many explanations for "play", why choose one that devalues women?This raises questions about the words and attitudes of the writers. This has sparked concern among many parents, who are worried that such an explanation will have a negative impact on their children's gender perceptions.
In our daily life, we often use the verb "play" to describe an act of entertainment, pastime, play. However, in the latest version of the Xinhua Dictionary, we find that the interpretation of the word "play" is completely different from our usual understanding. It is interpreted as "sexuality", which is not only confusing, but also seriously hurts the values of gender equality. Everyone knows that equality between men and women is one of the basic principles advocated by modern society, but this note suggests a prejudice of male dominance, fiddling and controlling women. Such an explanation is not only not in line with the progress of the times, but also conveys wrong values to children.
2. The annotation problem of "Wako":
In the old version of the Xinhua dictionary, we can see the phrase "倭寇", but in the new version, this phrase has been removed. This caused dissatisfaction and controversy among some people. They believe that such deletion is a falsification of history, and the deletion of "Wako" from the dictionary makes it impossible for people to understand and review the truth of history.
The phrase "倭寇" is used to refer to the Japanese who invaded China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Historically, the actions of the Wo Kou have brought great suffering and disaster to the Chinese people, so the word "Wo Kou" has always been a derogatory term. However, in the latest edition of the Xinhua dictionary, this phrase has been removed, causing dissatisfaction and controversy among many people. They believe that this is a falsification of history, and to remove this phrase from the dictionary is tantamount to trying to erase the memory of history, so that people cannot understand and review the truth of history. Such an act is tantamount to a denial of an important event in China's history, and has played a destructive role in safeguarding the country's dignity and historical memory.
1. The contradiction between educational progress and ideological regression
In recent years, China's education reform has been continuously advancing, committed to reducing the disadvantages of exam-oriented education and providing students with more comprehensive development opportunities. At the same time, however, we find some ideological regressions, such as the problems in the Xinhua dictionary today. This contradiction makes people wonder why there are still some ideological regressions in today's vigorous development of education
Education is an important symbol of social progress, which can cultivate people's thinking ability and shape people's positive attitude towards life. However, in today's society, we find some regression in educational thinking. This contradiction is thought-provoking. Our educational reform has continued to progress, vigorously advocating quality education, and advocating people's development in various aspects, but why has there been some regression in educational thinking?The answer to this question may need to be found in a number of ways.
2. Problems with teaching materials: more attention needs to be paid to ideological guidance
As an important tool for students' learning, textbooks play a vital role in the development of their ideas. However, some textbooks have been "smuggled with private goods", instilling incorrect and unhealthy ideas in students. This reminds us that educators must pay more attention to ideological guidance when developing teaching materials to ensure that students are taught the right values and positive attitudes towards life.
Textbooks are one of the most important educational resources that students come into contact with, and the quality of their compilation is directly related to students' learning effect and ideological development. However, in some textbooks, we have found some "entrainment" phenomena, that is, the writers have embedded personal biases and ideological tendencies in the textbooks. This phenomenon can have a negative effect on students' minds and even be misleading. Therefore, educators must pay more attention to ideological guidance when compiling teaching materials to ensure that correct and positive values and attitudes are conveyed to students.
As a member of every family or a member of society, we all share a common expectation of education, which is to raise healthy, happy and positive children. Therefore, we should pay attention to the problems in education, actively participate in the reform of education, and ensure that children can grow up healthily under the guidance of correct thinking.
As a member of a family, we must pay attention to our children's education and the environment in which they grew up. Education is an important task for every family, and we must try our best to provide a good environment for children to grow up. At the same time, we should also take an active part in the reform of education, voice our concern for education, and promote the progress and development of education. Only in this way can we ensure that children can grow up healthy, happy and positive under the guidance of the right mind.
The problem of Xinhua Dictionary in the latest edition has aroused widespread attention and discussion. In particular, the issues of "** sex" and the deletion of "Japanese coles" make people think about the phenomenon of ideological regression in education. We should pay attention to these problems and actively participate in solving and improving them. Education is the key to social progress, and we should pay attention to the quality and ideological guidance of education to ensure the healthy growth of children and create a positive learning environment for them. Only in this way will we be able to achieve the true goal of education and raise the next generation with the right values and a positive attitude towards life.
