Then, if you see such "words", will you fall in love with Chinese class again?
This is the Biography of Hulan River (picture book edition), which was carefully compiled by the crooked rabbit children's library. This set of picture books reproduces the five most childlike chapters in Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River with expressive and imaginative pictures, including the classic paragraphs included in many primary school Chinese textbooks, such as People's Education Edition and Su Education Edition, and leads the children into Hulan, a small town on the northeast border a hundred years ago, and experiences those with the protagonist.
Highlight 1: The original text is suitable for literary enlightenment.
"We often think that children can only read fairy tales and popular science books. In fact, this is wrong. In fact, during the children's language enlightenment, we should read more classic and beautiful articles with our children, so that children can automatically input these beautiful words and expressions in their brains, so that their oral expression ability can be improved, and once they start composition practice after primary school, these beautiful words and expressions will be instantly activated and their writing level will be improved accordingly. " Song Wenru, the editor of this book, said.
Indeed, "literary enlightenment" is one of the original intentions of this book. Because she saw that improper use of words is becoming more and more common in primary school students' compositions. According to statistics, the most common word in primary school students' compositions today is "buy".
This is no wonder, because we are in a commercial society, not only parents usually spend their spare time shopping in buy buy, but also advertisements that children are most exposed to. Advertising brings temptation to people, especially children with poor self-control. This is why there are a lot of "buy this" and "buy that" in primary school students' compositions. But in view of this problem, editor Wen Song raised his own concerns:
"The lack of vocabulary is just a symptom. What really worries us is the poverty of children's inner world, which comes from the fast-paced life. Our children are very tired. I see that some of our young members have been holding non-stop early education classes since 1 year old. After going to kindergarten, they have signed up for four or five interest classes. When they get to primary school, they still have homework to do in turn ... In this fast-paced life, it is difficult for children to feel the changes around them, let alone their own hearts. "
Because of this, the crooked rabbit children's library finally chose to adapt Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River when planning this topic, because its childlike perspective, description of family ties and expression of nature will stimulate children to observe, understand and describe things around them carefully, thus improving their language ability and laying a good foundation for the cultivation of their writing ability after entering school.

With this mood, I can describe the world that belongs to children in Xiao Hong's works to children. "

After a while, a white butterfly flew away from the wall.
Whose home are they from and who are they flying to?
The sun doesn't know this either.
-Hulan River Biography (Picture Book Edition) My Back Garden
With the change of urbanization and society, children have been away from nature for a long time. Only from popular science books can we know how grasshoppers jump, how bees collect honey, how cucumbers climb, how they bloom and how they bear fruit ... but after all, it is based on a rational understanding of popular science books.
But this time, through Xiao Hong's words and the vivid reproduction of the words by the illustrator, we can truly feel everything that has come out of the rural pastoral land-in this small garden, bees, butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies ... Chinese cabbage, radishes, leeks, millet, green bristlegrass, roses ... grow vegetables, weeds, water ... play with flowers and grass. Time goes by slowly ... in the warm parent-child reading, parents and children can return to nature with the fragrance of grass and soil and experience happiness and beauty.
Highlight 4: grandparents and grandchildren have strong family ties.
Grandpa was in the backyard all day, and I followed him in the backyard.
Grandfather wears a big straw hat and I wear a small one.
Grandpa grows flowers and I grow flowers;
Grandpa pulls weeds and I pull weeds.
……
Grandpa squatted on the ground and pulled out the grass, so I planted flowers for him.
Grandpa only knew that I was playing tricks on his hat, but he didn't know what I was doing.
I put his straw hat in a circle of flowers, twenty or thirty red flowers.
Hear grandpa say:
"It rained heavily this spring, and the roses in our house are so fragrant that I am afraid I can smell them in Erli Road."
He made me tremble with laughter.
When I finished planting, my grandfather didn't know, so he pulled weeds on the ridge.
I stood far away, afraid to look at grandpa. I just want to laugh.

Highlight 5: Look at how children recite poems in the past.
Whenever my grandfather teaches me a new poem, if I don't like it at first, I say, "I won't learn this."
Grandpa changed a song, and it's not good to change another song. I still don't want it.
"In the spring morning, I woke up easily, and birds were singing everywhere. But now I remember that night, that storm, and I want to know how many flowers were broken. "
I like this poem very much. I was very happy when I read the word "birds are singing everywhere around me".
I think this poem is really good, really good to listen to, and "everywhere" should be good.
There's another one I like better:
"On the platform of Yao, I couldn't sweep away the children several times.
Just cleaned up by the sun, also called the bright moon to send the future. "
I don't know what this means. I interpret it as "Celie can't be swept suddenly"
The more you read, the more you feel, and the more interesting you read.
Whenever guests come, my grandfather always asks me to read a poem, and I always like to read this one.
The guest didn't know if he understood, so he nodded and said yes.
-"Biography of Hulan River (Picture Book Edition) Learning Poetry from Grandfather"
"Reciting poems" is an unavoidable project for most children when they grow up. Almost every child will recite at least one or two poems and hundreds when he arrives at kindergarten at night.
So how did people in the past learn to recite poems when they were young?
In Xiao Hong's pen, the little hero also studied ancient poems with his grandfather. However, their method of reciting poems is not the same as it is now, but more similar to learning children's songs. Xiaojie's grandfather even asked Xiaojie to listen to poems before teaching. If it is not good, he will change it until he is satisfied. It can be said that he respects children's subjective wishes very much. So in the picture book, the memories of the little hero and grandpa reciting poems are full of happiness. Although grandpa will also let the little hero show his achievements in reciting poems in front of guests, the process of reciting poems is more like emotional communication between grandparents and grandchildren. When reading with children, such interesting plots will not only arouse children's interest in ancient poetry, but also inspire parents' education. Picture book for early childhood education
