Review opinion
Among the colorful candidate picture books, the monochrome "Into the City" is particularly eye-catching. Drawing lessons from traditional woodcut and paper-cutting techniques, the author drew a bright and simple picture in black. The seemingly monotonous black-and-white effect is stronger than the colorful effect. I have always believed that the colors painted by a child's imagination are more vivid, three-dimensional, natural and have a long memory than those instilled in him.
This is a work with strong Chinese cultural characteristics. The old story is simple and interesting, the plot develops repeatedly, and the protagonist keeps marching and encountering, which is very suitable as the theme of picture books. For a long time, how to combine the rich and heavy culture of the East with the picture books originating from the West has always been a difficult problem. The bold attempt of this work, I think, is relatively successful. The Monkey King, Lin Daiyu, Song Wu and Jiang Taigong. The content in the book may not be understood by children at first, but even if they don't understand it, they can get joy from the story. Moreover, adults can tell children about the characters and works that Descendants of the Dragon should know by reading with them. At this point, foreign children will be the same, and this book will even give them a fresher and stronger * * *.
It is not an easy task to integrate ancient culture into children's books with modern methods. It is extremely difficult to make nationality universal and universal. The author must have written this book out of kindness. I think at the end of this work, if the relationship between Jiang Taigong's fishing and his father and son's going to town is clearer and easier to understand, this work will be a world-class picture book masterpiece.

brief Introduction of the content
The doorbell rang. This is a strange uncle. He put a coat outside the window and wanted the little boy to help him pick it up. But mom says you can't open the door for strangers. The little boy began to think about what he could do to help. They interacted through the door of the security chain. Finally, the boy successfully helped his uncle get the coat and handed it out through the door. He said with a clear conscience, "I didn't open the door for strangers!" " Between the strange alienation of the city and the balance of children's kindness, let readers feel the little warmth under the protection.
Review opinion
"The Door" ingeniously selects a tiny fragment of contemporary urban daily life, showing how childhood life exudes naive warmth and goodwill to the world in its unique way in the increasingly closed urban living space. The whole story bears a distinct imprint of contemporary life. However, while fully respecting the principle of children's self-protection of "not opening the door to strangers" in real life, the author skillfully turned this helplessness from the reality of urban life into a special and warm daily encounter between people from the perspective of childhood.
The painting style of the work is simple, clean and simple, and it pays attention to the sensory presentation of children's perspective. In addition to using ordinary painting pigments, writers also skillfully cut and paste special materials from their daily lives, such as cloth and spinning. Use soft cotton and linen fabrics and thread materials to represent walls, clothes, window sills, cat's eyes, tables and chairs, cacti and other objects. The natural intimate atmosphere of the former unconsciously dilutes the indifference of modern architectural images such as apartments, doors, windows and fences. This unity of opposites of vision and emotion, which is composed of painting materials and picture contents, skillfully echoes the presentation of the theme of the story and also shows the wisdom of illustration design of picture books.
The work attempts to find a real "gap" for us with the image of "door" symbolizing urban division, so that we can communicate with each other and be warm to each other. All the losses and hopes related to reality reflected through this "gap" let us feel and meditate. (Fang Weiping)
