Yu Qiuyu, a highly respected scholar, has always been the focus of attention. His words and teachings are not only full of profound thoughts, but also have the power to inspire people's hearts. As an outstanding writer, he pioneered the new literary form of cultural prose, which injected new vitality into the literary world.
Yu Qiuyu's writing style is unique, with delicate and poetic strokes. His works explore the cultures of the East and the West, and present complex cultural phenomena vividly and vividly through simple language.
His cultural travelogues, such as "Cultural Journey", "A Sigh for a Thousand Years", and "Travelers Without Borders", not only allow readers to appreciate the cultural customs of various parts of the world, but also guide them to think deeply about the evolution and future of human civilization.
In "Cultural Journey", Yu Qiuyu explores the foundation and connotation of Chinese culture with a unique perspective and thinking. Through his depictions of landscapes, monuments, people and other elements, he shows the breadth and profundity of Chinese civilization.
He explores the true meaning of life through landscapes, explores the historical destiny of Chinese culture and the inner character of Chinese literati and artists, and inspires the world to think about the historical trend and future development of Chinese culture.
In "A Thousand Years of Sigh" and "Walkers Without Borders", he crosses borders and explores cultural relics and historical backgrounds around the world, showing a broad cultural vision.
Yu Qiuyu's writing is not only of literary value, but also ideological and enlightening. His works guide readers to think about the direction and future of human civilization, and inspire people's love and pursuit of culture.
As a pioneering writer and scholar, Yu Qiuyu has undoubtedly made great contributions to our cultural inheritance and development.
Recently, however, it has made quite a splash in the education world. Some people accuse Yu Qiuyu of only teaching students to write nonsense, and this remark is like a bombshell, which has caused widespread discussion and controversy in the education and literary circles.
Xu Jilin, a professor of history at East China Normal University, said in an interview on January 9 that after Yu's work was selected for textbooks, students would only write some correct nonsense.
Professor Xu Jilin expressed deep concern about introducing Yu Qiuyu's article into the textbook. He pointed out that although Yu Qiuyu's article is beautifully written, there are obvious biases in the content.
Professor Xu believes that Yu Qiuyu's interpretation of history and culture in the article is too subjective and sometimes even distorts the facts, which may have a negative impact on the formation of young students' cognition and values.
In addition, Professor Xu also expressed doubts about the phenomenon of "over-packaging" in Yu Qiuyu's article.
He pointed out that Yu Qiuyu's articles are often ornate in rhetoric, but they pursue too much form and ignore the content and depth of thought.
This way of writing may cause readers to suffer aesthetic fatigue, and for young students, it is more likely to cause them to misunderstand literary creation, thinking that the gorgeous style can represent everything, thus ignoring the true value and meaning of literature.
Generally speaking, Professor Xu's point of view is that although Yu Qiuyu's prose has a beautiful literary style, it pursues too much rhetoric and rhetorical devices, resulting in gorgeous and empty articles.
Moreover, Yu Qiuyu's works lack ideology and depth, and there are many places that are not rigorous enough in terms of history, so it is difficult to get real thinking.
For adult readers, his articles are prone to aesthetic fatigue, and if students read his articles, it is easy for students to just mechanically imitate his language and learn some flashy expressions, which are often out of touch with the actual content of the article, lacking internal logic and coherence of thought. I can't really improve my writing.
At the same time, he pointed out that Yu Qiuyu's works often lack ideology and depth, and it is difficult for students to get real inspiration and reflection when reading his articles.
Of course, the lack of rigor in historical knowledge is more likely to mislead students.
In short, Xu Jilin is critical of the inclusion of Yu Qiuyu's works in textbooks, believing that this will lead to a decline in students' writing ability. He emphasized that students' writing should focus on ideology and content quality, rather than mechanically imitating some flashy language expressions. At the same time, he also called on the education department to re-examine the selection of teaching materials to ensure that students' writing skills are truly improved.
So, what exactly is it that makes this revered literary master label the "godfather of nonsense"?
First of all, we need to understand Yu Qiuyu's teaching philosophy. Yu Qiuyu has always emphasized the importance of cultural literacy and humanistic spirit in writing.
He believes that a good writer should have a wide range of cultural knowledge and profound thoughts. Therefore, his teaching method is often to inspire students' thinking and creative inspiration through the explanation of cultural background, historical evolution and literary classics.
However, some people believe that Yu Qiuyu's teaching method focuses too much on the inculcation of cultural knowledge and neglects the cultivation of students' language use and expression skills.
They see Yu's class as more like a cultural lecture than an actual training in writing skills and language. Therefore, although students have learned a lot of knowledge under his guidance, they are unable to effectively translate this knowledge into their own language expression, and the articles they write often seem lengthy and cumbersome, lacking logic and organization.
In addition, there are some people who think that Yu Qiuyu's style of literary creation is too obscure, which also affects his teaching skills. They believe that Yu Qiuyu's literary works often pursue profound cultural connotations and ideological depths, and this style is also reflected in his teaching style to a certain extent. As a result, some students find it difficult to understand and accept his teaching methods and philosophy.
To sum up, there are many reasons why Yu Qiuyu was accused of being the "godfather of nonsense". Although his teaching philosophy focuses on the cultivation of cultural literacy and humanistic spirit, there are also problems such as paying too much attention to knowledge indoctrination and ignoring the cultivation of language expression ability.
However, from Professor Xu Jilin's conversation, I think that Yu Qiuyu should not be blamed for the nonsense of students' essays, without Yu Qiuyu, students' essays are also a lot of nonsense.
Back then, when we wrote essays, who didn't sublimate the theme from a small thing, and who didn't write a scene without ending like Yang Shuo?
Also, what is ideological or depth of thought, does an essay have to be like philosophy**? Or sublimated to the height of the national economy and people's livelihood?
Many of Yu Qiuyu's essays, especially travelogues, were written on the road, such as "A Sigh for a Thousand Years", where he passed through the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with poor material conditions and no good writing environment.
Moreover, the Internet was not developed at that time, and it was not so easy to collect historical information, even now, the Internet is developed, and it is easy to collect historical materials, but there is also a lot of historical knowledge on the Internet, and even contradictory, are students not misled, and there are many historical dramas under the banner of historical dramas, and the nonsense of historical dramas is even more misleading to students' knowledge.
Students' assignments are just assignments, not creations, and assignments have an imitation process, and if you don't imitate Yu Qiuyu, you can also imitate Lin Qingxuan, Zhou Guoping, Bi Shumin or Li Juan, Chi Zijian, just like Xiaohongshu said, you can also write if you turn over the books of these writers.
Of course, Yu Qiuyu can only be Yu Qiuyu, which requires the teacher to let students break out of his routine and form their own style in learning Yu Qiuyu's prose in teaching.
Also, who asked students to write nonsense essays, they all know that college entrance examination essays are routine essays, which are correct nonsense, do you dare to show off your personality casually?
