Previously, People's Education Publishing House responded twice on May 26th and 28th respectively, saying that "improving painting style and raising artistic level" and "comprehensive rectification before June this year/KLOC-0" failed to calm public opinion. The reason is that textbooks are the main source of students' knowledge. Regardless of the authoritative position of the People's Education Society or the strict choice of the textbook review mechanism, illustrations should not appear. In addition, there are often problematic illustrations in other children's books, such as two boys licking the girl's arm and a puppy licking the girl. The Treatment of Bian Que is accused of being ambiguous. First, it points to core issues such as content review. An apology and a promise of rectification in terms of "painting style" and beauty and ugliness are not enough to alleviate parents' concerns that problematic illustrations will harm minors' physical and mental health. The investigation accountability signal released by the Ministry of Education is a good gesture to dig deep into the root of the problem and then solve it.
Large and small textbooks, long state affairs. The construction of teaching materials is an important support for educating people and becoming talents, and it determines what the next generation of the country learns and believes, so it faces more rigorous review than ordinary books. In addition to the three schools of the publishing house, the teaching materials have to be audited by the education authorities. The teaching materials involved have been used for nearly 10 years. If there are omissions in the teaching material management and review mechanism before 10, in recent years, the relevant teaching material management mechanism has been gradually improved, forming a "five-review" system and a "double-review" system, it really should not be. As many people in the industry have said, problems such as pornographic edge balls should be discovered at the first time. Moreover, the construction of teaching materials is not once and for all, and the reprint of teaching materials faces a new round of content review and supervision and inspection by the competent authorities. This is an important link to reflect the national power of textbook construction, and it is also a powerful means to correct mistakes, encourage progress and punish accountability. In the process of selection, review, supervision and inspection of problem illustrations, it is necessary to strictly investigate and severely punish which links have gone wrong and who have not fulfilled their responsibilities.
Secondly, I want to ask, during the period of 10, many front-line teachers and parents reported the illustration problem several times without results. Has the "combination of government supervision with social supervision, expert supervision and mass supervision" been effectively implemented? Some media noticed that as early as March 20021year, there were related problems on social platforms, such as "How to treat the illustration style in the primary school mathematics textbook published by People's Education Press", but it did not attract widespread attention at that time. Textbook illustrations have a lot of work. After the style is determined, it is usually created by several illustrators, and the progress of painting is difficult to control. It may happen that the text has gone through some review steps before drawing, but the illustration has not gone through a complete review process. Especially in textbooks, pictures are easier to be ignored than words. Therefore, the feedback from children, teachers and parents-users of these textbooks has important reference value. Smooth the channels to quickly reflect the problems of textbooks, which is convenient for the education department to judge and deal with them in time, and ensure that textbooks adhere to the correct political direction and value orientation and conform to the aesthetic habits of the public.
Finally, artists should bear in mind that although there is no uniform standard for beauty and ugliness, excellent works of art must contain the spiritual outlook of contemporary China people and reflect the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, which is no different from ancient times and modern times. What kind of illustrations are suitable for children and textbooks? Through the illustrations of classic textbooks recalled by netizens recently, it is not difficult to find the public's expectations, such as "Young Runner", "Let's Paddle" and "Offer a humble apology".
