"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is a long-standing ancient love story that occupies an important place in Chinese cultural tradition. However, today's elementary school students have a new perspective on the story. At a primary school in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, when Ms. Yang, a Chinese teacher, asked students what they thought of the story, she was amused by their answers. It can be seen from the students' answers that they have different attitudes towards the love choice between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They believe that only the Queen Mother's mind is normal, and the choice of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is debatable.
The students had different evaluations of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and one of the boys thought that why the Weaver Girl chose the Cowherd, because he had no culture, no money, and was not handsome, and it was difficult to understand the choice of the Weaver Girl. Another student admitted that the Weaver Girl was carried away by love and chose the Cowherd irrationally. In fact, the choice of the Weaver Girl did cause some controversy, and some parents also expressed their agreement with the students' views. They believe that the Weaver Girl should not win love by ** and stealing clothes, and it is normal for the Queen Mother to object to such a practice. It has to be said that the students' new thinking is commendable, and they no longer easily accept the indoctrination of traditional ideas, but dare to question the moral bottom line in them.
The primary school students raised several questions about the choice and behavior of the Cowherd. First of all, they pointed out that the Cowherd obtained marriage by ** and stealing the Weaver Girl's clothes, which was already illegal and disrespectful to girls. In normal thinking, the cowherd should be severely punished. The Cowherd's mistake came first, the Weaver Girl was the victim, why did he let the girl marry him?Such propaganda distorts moral bottom lines.
Secondly, the primary school students questioned that the Cowherd knew that his material conditions were poor, but he insisted on turning the Weaver Girl into his wife. They don't think it's true love, because the Weaver Girl could have lived a fairy-like life, but she had to face rebellion with her family, heavy labor, and giving birth to a baby. The Cowherd did not pay any cost, found a free labor force through this "hooliganism", and maintained a high appearance. Elementary school students speculated that this was more like the author's fantasy when he was poor, and belonged to the ancient version of "Shuangwen".
From a modern perspective, primary school students try to interpret the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They believe that this is the story of a "white rich beauty" who was abducted to the countryside while traveling in a big city. The girl was forced to give birth to a baby with a poor man and had to work every day. The appearance of the Queen Mother was just to save her "daughter". This interpretation is different from the previous way of thinking, and in the story under the traditional concept, the Cowherd has always been considered to be the "bullied" party. However, it is an improvement for elementary school students to use their ingenuity to see the essence of the story.
This kind of progress is inseparable from the correct guidance of teachers and parents. Today's parents and teachers are becoming more enlightened in the process of nurturing future generations. They allow the next generation to express their true thoughts, allowing for new ** on ethics and principles. More and more people are realizing that it is far more important to develop judgment and the ability to analyze the essence than simply obeying authority. If this story is used as a text, the teacher should explain the behavior of the cowherd as a negative example, instead of making the boy mistakenly think that "the other party can fall in love with him after hiding the girl's clothes" and imitate it.
It is not a new phenomenon that elementary school students have created new differences in their evaluation of traditional stories. In recent years, an increasing number of teachers have reflected this situation. This generation of primary school students has a clearer perspective and correct values, which is an improvement. Sometimes, the party standing on the moral high ground is not necessarily the innocent who has been wronged. is like the character of the cowherd, he was once considered to be the "bullied" party, but now the primary school students find out that he is a cheating girl and wants to make a good name, and his behavior should be stopped. The progress of primary school students is inseparable from the guidance of teachers and parents, who allow the next generation to express their true thoughts, and guide them to think and analyze the essence of the problem. This kind of guidance allows primary school students to see things more clearly and have healthier values.
In short, primary school students have a different evaluation of traditional stories than in the past, and they are more thinking and questioning the characters and plots in the stories. This progress is inseparable from the right guidance from parents and teachers, who allow the next generation to express their opinions and develop their ability to judge and analyze the essence. This progress is positive, and we look forward to the future of education to better guide students' thinking and growth.
