The Chinese zodiac has a unique meaning for Chinese!
Take our sister as an example, she is a dog, so she has a natural affection for dogs, and usually likes to imitate the movements of puppies. My sister is a dragon, and since she was a child, she felt that her zodiac was particularly sacred, because it symbolized power and auspiciousness in traditional Chinese culture.
After visiting the Dali History Museum, the sisters have been discussing the 12 zodiac signs. For example:
Why did the 12 zodiac signs in the exhibit become thirteen (with more turtles).
We've seen other animals in the zodiac, but it seems we've never seen a real dragon
Why does the "big turtle" carrying the stone monument have a dragon head?
Thinking that the Year of the Dragon was coming, and my understanding of dragons was only scratching the surface, I decisively entered this set of "Hello, Magical Chinese Dragon". When I accompanied the children to read the story, I learned all kinds of knowledge about dragons by the way, and the book involved bits and pieces related to dragons, which is especially suitable during the Spring Festival!
The full set of 4 volumes, namely "A Dragon Flying in the Sky", "Dragon Celebration", "Wonderful Dragon Journey", "Eat the Dragon", the story starts with the little protagonist's visit to the Forbidden City, and experiences various adventures with the son of the dragon through dreams, presenting readers with a world full of whimsy. The overall style is very much in line with the children's imaginative world, and the reading process is full of fun.
The four picture books interpret the knowledge of "dragons" for us from different perspectives.
"A Dragon Flew in the Sky".
When Guoguo visited the Forbidden City, he saw the spine beast "mocking the wind" on the Taihe Palace, and mistook it for a dragon. After some popular science of mocking wind, Guoguo understood what were the characteristics of each part of the original dragon. For example, dragons have rabbit eyes, crocodile heads, cow ears, and deer horns.
"Dragon Celebration".
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of whom were different. After the performance of the dragon father and the dragon nine sons, Guoguo finally met the nine sons of the dragon and learned about their specialties.
By the way, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, not that the dragon only had nine sons! "Nine" means "many" in ancient times, so the dragon gave birth to nine sons to refer to the dragon having many sons. prisoner cow (qiú niú), 睚眦 (yá zì), mock wind (cháo fēng), 蒲牢 (pú láo), 狻猊 (suān ní), 赑屃 (bì xì), 狴犴 (bì àn), negative 屃 (fù xì), 螭kiss (chī wěn). How many can you name?
"Wonderful Dragon Hunt".
Seeing that the Forbidden City is about to open, and the tourists are coming, but the dragon on the Nine Dragon Wall guarded by the Gang is gone, who did it? Looking at Jair's gloating look, I knew that it must have been disgruntled when it performed the day before, so it waited for the opportunity to prank, which really responded to the idiom "Jairus must be repaid".
In order to retrieve the nine dragons, Guoguo and Gan Tuo searched for dragon-related artifacts in the Forbidden City, and finally recovered all the dragons.
"Eat That Dragon".
Some people want to eat dragon whiskers, some people want to eat dragon scales, and some people want to eat dragon eyes, which can startle the snooze! When I went to the world, I saw that people were making pastries to celebrate the harvest.
Dumplings are dragon ears, noodles are dragon whiskers, wontons are dragon eyes, spring cakes are dragon scales, isn't it quite similar to use these noodles to spell out a dragon?
In this book, there are not only childlike but also the nine sons of the dragon, the cultural relics related to dragons, and the dragon in traditional pastries. Don't miss it for curious kids!
