What is a picture book?
Question 1: What is a picture book? Picture books are a kind of books, which can be traced back to China. It may be that the early Japanese used China's Buddhist scriptures and Hokkekyo as picture books, which later developed into the present picture books. This term has appeared for about ten years, and picture books are actually picture books. In order to avoid confusion with books, I am used to using this term imported from Japan.

The difference between picture books and other ordinary picture books is that picture books usually have independent painters, and the pictures have their own style. The pictures are real-time and can be drawn into a picture. We often see some illustrated books. Although the pictures in these books are very interesting, they are only a supplement to the text, and they are just pictures with the function of the text system. This kind of books is more common in textbooks and supplementary books. The pictures in the book do not have the function of "picture language". Compared with China's traditional comics and cartoons, the latter is like a traditional stage play, and readers can only watch it from a certain angle, which will produce a great sense of distance. Picture books for children are like movies for children. It not only shows a broad vision, but also highlights the details. It has an extremely interesting story, which hides the rhythm design of starting, carrying, flipping and combining. Some cartoon children's books based on pictures are also different from picture books. These paintings and calligraphy are beautiful, and the picture is the solidification of mobile comics, which has lost the charm of activities in form. The apparent plot has been "dismembered" and it is difficult to express the original content. The pictures in the book are just symbols to evoke memories of the comic plot. We can appreciate this "image language" by reading the Japanese version of the European folk story Wolf and Sheep. The text is simple: "The wolf entered the lamb's house ...". A whole page is full of pictures of wolves opening doors and coming in. All the lambs are in a panic. Some are hidden in the clock, some are hidden under the bed, some are hidden behind the door, and some are hidden behind the sofa ... This painting has greatly aroused the interest of young readers.

Question 2: What is a picture book? It is called a picture book in English. When Chinese characters are used as traditional "picture books", as the name implies, they are "picture books". In other words, it refers to a kind of book with painting as the main part and a small amount of words. At present, the picture books on the market mainly focus on children, covering literature, education, popular science and so on. Jimmy, Qian Haiyan and other adult picture books are all picture book writers in recent years.

Question 3: What is a picture book? The concept of picture books:

Speaking of picture books, it is actually very similar to China's early picture books. In fact, according to the English meaning, it is a painting and calligraphy. So it is easy to understand that a book with only a few words or even no words is called a picture book.

The difference between picture books and ordinary books;

Ordinary textbooks have only one or two small illustrations, which can only be said to be books in the traditional sense. For this reason, pictures are only used for decoration or to support text description. Picture books, with no words or only a few words, are used for guidance. It is also different from those big picture books. A big picture book only uses a continuous picture to express a complete story, but can't form a single picture. But a picture book can even, even one of its pictures is a story itself, which can be formed separately. Therefore, when choosing a gift, everyone should be careful not to be cheated by the merchants. A book with a big picture is not a picture book if it can't be drawn independently.

For parents who have bought picture books, they may feel that the price is too high. In fact, at present, there are no writers specializing in picture book painting in China market. So these picture books are all imported from abroad, and some of them are even written in English and Japanese. Therefore, for this kind of books, it is more expensive. Because it is new, it is naturally expensive. Another is that the printed materials of picture books are also very different from our ordinary books. Because it is a book for children, the requirements for paper will be very strict.

Picture books use pictures to express stories, because there are few words, so generally speaking, someone needs to understand the meaning in the pictures before the story can be told completely. However, in fact, there are too few people who have this ability, because we lack aesthetic feeling. For the study and strengthening of aesthetic feeling, it is recommended to read Letters on Beauty. So few people can read stories from pictures. Therefore, under normal circumstances, picture books will work hard on the image expressions and facial expressions of characters. In this way, children with strong understanding can see their emotions, or nervousness, or fear, or other things at a glance.

For picture books, if parents don't understand them, they may feel that there is no need to buy them for their children. Besides, they are too expensive. In fact, parents are advised to buy some books for their children selectively and let them discuss the story in the picture together. Even if you don't understand, you can tell your children something you can see and understand according to the gourd painting. However, in this way, even if you don't understand it at all, you can enjoy the paintings with your children. In fact, it is also an aesthetic practice, right? Picture books are mostly pictures, but few words.

Question 4: What is a picture book? In picture books, pictures are no longer the embellishment of words, but the lifeblood of books. Even some picture books have no words, only pictures are telling stories. Picture books attach great importance to the continuity of emotion and theme, and form a continuous visual image in just a few dozen pages. The author and painter of picture books are equivalent to film directors. He must tell the story beautifully and clearly in a limited space. An excellent picture book can make illiterate children understand its meaning. In addition, the picture books are beautiful and the layout is unique. The front cover, the title page, the text and the back cover form an almost perfect whole. The charm of reading picture books (1) Picture books conform to children's thinking characteristics and can stimulate children's interest in reading. (2) Picture books are exquisite and rich in connotation, which can give children an artistic aesthetic influence. At present, most of the excellent picture books are the works of world-famous illustrators, which are not only exquisite in painting, but also rich in connotation. Reading picture books cultivates children's emotions and develops children's artistic aesthetic ability, which can't be improved only by reading words. (3) Picture books can activate children's imagination, which is conducive to the cultivation of children's creativity. Picture book stories cross national boundaries and various cultural backgrounds. Through words and pictures, let children enter different worlds, let children have rich associations with the story, and expand their creativity and imagination infinitely. Parent-child reading has many benefits. Parents accompanying their children to read picture books is the best parent-child way. During the parent-child reading time, the text and images of picture books will affect children's visual system and cerebral cortex, and the vivid narration of parents will mobilize children's auditory organs, which will improve the overall processing level of information for children. The process of children reading picture books is also a process of information exchange and emotional exchange with adults. Through parent-child reading, parents are more likely to establish close and harmonious relationships with their children. In the process of reading, parents should not be indifferent bystanders, nor authoritative narrators and judges, but equal participants. Parents' enthusiasm and attitude will directly affect children's reading interest. The choice of excellent picture books can be analyzed from the following two aspects: (1) The story content should be close to children's life, preferably something that children are familiar with, but there should be some changes different from the normal state, common sense and natural feeling, so that children feel familiar, strange, novel and interesting. The language of the story is simple, concrete and vivid; Simple sentences, short sentences and colloquial sentences; When reading aloud, it is bright, lively, catchy and full of music. (2) In terms of picture performance, the picture should be visually beautiful and the colors should be used appropriately, such as white rabbit, red fox, green grass and golden sunshine. In this way, the image in the story will be more vivid and stimulate children's desire to read. The composition of the picture is also an important means to create the visual beauty of the story. High-low contrast and scattered composition can visually arouse pleasure, focus on the main characters and plots of the story, and enhance children's understanding of the story.

Question 7: What is the origin of western children's picture books? So far, there is no unified conclusion on its concept. Picture books are derived from Japanese habits, and picture books are English picture books. In Taiwan Province Province, China, picture books and picture books are often mixed together. Picture books are strictly picture story books, and the definition of picture books is sometimes quite broad, even including non-fiction knowledge picture books, toy books, ballads and so on.

The pictures in picture books are generally hand-painted, delicate and vivid. Pictures play a narrative, lyrical and expressive role in the whole work. Picture books are different from traditional picture books. Take Donna's love of learning as an example. If the mode of the illustrated book is text+picture, and the picture is only a supplementary description of the text, then the picture book is text × picture, which means that the pictures in the picture book are completely independent of the text, and the text and the picture convey information and complement each other, and even the picture is more important than the text.
