"Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" was suggested to delete the 8 words "unhealthy" to raise questions, and the conflict between home and school became the focus
"Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" is a classic work in our primary school textbooks, and many friends remember its existence. Its author is Zhu Ziqing, who is now a well-known essayist, writer, and poet. His prose presents a poetic and literary style. At the same time, it also contains a fresh sense of simplicity.
The poetry collection "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" is also a rare classic in modern folk prose poetry. Through the beautiful moonlight of the lotus pond, it expresses the author's melancholy and bleak inner feelings. In this article, the author's prose literary style is rich in powerful imagination. However, many seem to be skeptical about the impact of this article on students. Some have even begun to question whether the article is suitable for inclusion in primary school textbooks.
Before the work "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" appeared in our textbooks, it was adapted from a lyric poem. This lyric poem from the Southern Dynasties period, "Picking Lotus Fu", was quoted by Zhu Ziqing in prose. The poem is about a group of young men and women playing in a boat on a lotus pond. The poem reflects the joy of these ignorant children picking lotuses, and the graceful postures of the girls reflect the beauty of lotus flowers. The text includes the following sentences:
It contains the following words:'Magical children, magical girls, rippling on the boat'，'Thin tape light yarn, walk slowly'，'In the early summer and early spring, the leaves are soft and the flowers are early, and the fear of getting wet and smiling, and the fear of pouring out the clothes'。
Delete "Lotus Picking.
Such a classic and beautiful poem, but it was deleted. At that time, there was a famous writer and educator named Ye Shengtao. He is also a great master of language arts. He advocated standardizing the vernacular of our modern Chinese, including grammar, idioms, metaphors, rhetoric, punctuation, etc. Thus, at the time, Yip's job was similar to that of a literary editor, i.e., he was also a person who purified poetry from prose.
Ye Shengtao's educational thought has made great contributions to China's education reform. Based on the ontological viewpoint and logic of Chinese education, he has created a new dialectical path that adapts to China's education reform. He analyzed the educational principles of Chinese education with a unique vision, and also summarized the practical problems existing in Chinese educational thought.
Many friends feel that the first poem has no impact on Chinese educational thought, so why should it be deleted?Our literary experts have the answer. Because the content expressed in this poem does not conform to the social and political background of the time, and does not conform to the mainstream thinking of the people at that time. The petty-bourgeois sentiment expressed in the poem has been pushed to the forefront.
Negative reviews of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond".
Not only did Ye Jiaying think that prose poetry was inappropriate, but some prose writers also made negative comments about prose poetry. As we all know, Yu Guangzhong is also an excellent local writer, and his work "Homesickness" has been included in primary school textbooks. He felt that there were too many fairy tales in this work called "Lotus Pond", which was suspected of exaggeration. Although there are many fairy tales and the number is large, they are not accurate. Just like in prose.
A green field appears on the lotus leaf, which is in the shape of a fishbone. The lotus leaf is like the wings of an ant, hanging high on the water. In the middle of the layers of lotus leaves, a few small white flowers bloom from time to time, some are shy, like pearls, like stars in the blue sky, like a beauty just out of the bath"。
Yu Guangzhong believes that the original text in the above prose passage uses too many metaphors and is not concise enough. In his opinion, good prose should be concise and euphemistic. He thinks that the article as a whole is not beautiful and is not an excellent popular prose. Many readers disagree with him.
One of them"Like a freshly washed beauty"become a point of contention. Ye Lao thought that the metaphor in the sentence was too inappropriate, so he deleted it. Later, when the prose was rewritten, this sentence continued to appear in the article. Scholars also have different opinions on this issue.
Advice for parents.
So far, it's not just writers and scientists who are arguing about the issue of prose. There are a lot of parents who want this article to be removed from elementary school textbooks. They think,"Like a beautiful woman out of the bath"This controversial phrase is unhealthy for young children. This way of expression is not conducive to the normal development of children's psychological and emotional development.
They argue that the inclusion of such expressions in textbooks may affect the minds of emotionally unconscious children. Parents who have entered early childhood and the period of ignorance of men and women believe that this sentence will make their children have meaningless thoughts and even aggravate the phenomenon of early love. Therefore, they suggested that this phrase be removed from textbooks.
Of course, this is only the opinion of some parents, and there are also parents who are in favor of their children learning this essay. In their opinion, the description of this prose is very literary and characteristic, and there are no dirty words. For children, there is nothing but wonderful literature and creative beauty.
The writing is also very beautiful, and it stimulates the children's imagination and love for literature. This controversial word is not a swear word, but a representation of the beauty of the lotus flower. It shows the beauty of the lotus flower, which is pleasing to the eye and relaxing. Therefore, these parents agreed to include this essay in the textbook.
Parents have gone too far on whether or not to incorporate this essay into their students' textbooks. At the beginning of man, nature is good. Children don't think much about it. As for what parents think"Hibiscus out of the water hibiscus is difficult to draw"This must be entirely the inner thoughts of the parents themselves.
Parents believe that the child will associate this expression with something that will impress him. But take a look and think about how a child's pure heart can distort classic literatureChildren must grow up normally, and not in the castle that their parents built for them. Parents who are overprotective of their children can also become a huge burden on their children.
