As we all know, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is an ancient and widely circulated folk tale, which has been passed down from generation to generation and word of mouth for thousands of years, and its appeal and influence have not diminished but increased. However, in my classroom as a Chinese teacher, I was frustrated by the series of questions raised by students. They questioned whether the Cowherd was a thief, he stole someone else's clothes, was it illegal?There are also people who think that the cowherd is lustful and a hooligan, and he ** fairy bathes. These questions were unexpected to me, but they also reflected the active and sharp thinking of the children. Faced with these questions, I can only bite the bullet and continue to attend classes and answer as best I can.
"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" tells the story of the Cowherd's hard life. His parents died, he was bullied by his relatives, and he didn't get any property, so he could only live with an old cow. This situation was very common in ancient societies, and many children were orphaned due to family poverty or other reasons, and their lives were difficult. The Cowherd is one of them.
Cowherd's life is full of hardships and suffering, he has not received a good education, he has no money and wealth, and he is not even good-looking. However, it is precisely because of these painful experiences that the Cowherd has become known to cherish, be kind to others, and be kind and honest in his heart. This kindness and sincerity attracted the attention of the Weaver Girl, and the two eventually became husband and wife and lived happily ever after.
In fact, most of the children in ancient societies were in very difficult circumstances, and they often did not receive a normal home education and did not have the opportunity to receive a good education. In contrast, we modern people are much more fortunate to have a good family environment and educational conditions. Therefore, while Xi learning the story of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", we should also pay attention to the education of poor children, actively participate in public welfare undertakings, and provide them with better development opportunities.
When students question whether the Cowherd's act of stealing clothes is illegal, we can think from a legal perspective. If the Cowherd's actions had happened today, he might indeed have been suspected of theft. Under the provisions of the Penal Code, the unlawful detention of a person or the other unlawful deprivation of his or her personal liberty is punishable by law. What the Cowherd did can be regarded as an act of "unlawfully depriving others of their personal liberty in other ways", which is similar to the crime of unlawful detention.
However, we must note that "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is an ancient mythological story, which takes place in a completely different era from the laws of modern society, with different values and morals. In ancient societies, laws and regulations were not as clearly defined and applied as modern societies. Therefore, we cannot simply explain the actions of ancient figures in terms of modern law.
When students question whether the Cowherd is lustful, we can interpret the behavior of the Cowherd. First of all, the Weaver Girl did not appear in the story of the plot, so the Cowherd did not take a bath. Secondly, the Cowherd took the Weaver Girl's clothes so that the Weaver Girl would come to him, not to take possession of the Weaver Girl's clothes. Therefore, we cannot assert that the Cowherd is lustful.
In addition, we can also understand the relationship between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl from the aesthetic concept of the ancients. In ancient societies, aesthetics were different from modern ones, and so did the beauty and values that people pursued. The ordinary characters represented by the Cowherd successfully pursued the Weaver Girl, reflecting the ancient people's yearning and cherishing of sincere love. This was a beautiful and true love story for the people of that era.
I think the questions and suggestions of students and parents about the text "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" are very good thinking and questioning. In the Xi, we should maintain the ability to think independently, have the courage to question, ask questions, and find answers. That's how you can really learn knowledge.
At the same time, when answering students' questions, we should also look at the story from the perspective of the ancients. As an ancient mythological story, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" has completely different values and morals from modern society. We should place it in the long river of history to understand and judge, and we cannot use the eyes and laws of modern people to explain the behavior of the ancients.
In general, the text "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is a folk tale that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it represents people's yearning and pursuit of a better life. In the process of learning Xi this story, we should pay attention to the kindness, hard work, and pursuit of beauty contained in it. However, we also need to be clear that even the best stories can have flaws, and we need to learn to analyze, think and pick the positive values in them.
Finally, I think the questions raised by the students are a valuable asset, and they allow us to better understand the text "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". Students should be encouraged to ask questions, think and explore, and help them develop critical thinking and independent thinking skills, so that they can gain more inspiration and knowledge.
