Textbooks are important tools and materials for students to learn, which are not only related to students' grades, but also related to the cultivation of students' three views. A good textbook is helpful for students' growth, but a "poisonous textbook" will unconsciously affect children's life. The illustrations of mathematics textbooks published by People's Education Publishing House have aroused heated discussion. This is no longer a question of the beauty and ugliness of illustrations, but is related to the smuggling of ideological goods, which cannot be tolerated. In addition to mathematics textbooks, Chinese textbooks also have problems.
Zheng's words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone soon discovered that Zheng's shameless editor-in-chief was actually "Cao Wenxuan", the editor-in-chief of the People's Education Press textbook. This man is very famous. He is not only the editor-in-chief of textbooks published by People's Education Publishing House, but also a professor in Peking University. Found that Cao Wenxuan turned textbooks into business. Zheng broke the news: Cao Wenxuan didn't use anyone's articles when compiling textbooks, but used articles from people in his own circle. Originally, everyone took Zheng's words with a grain of salt, but some people found that some contents in the Chinese textbook written by Cao Wenxuan were seriously inconsistent with the mental health of teenagers, and people began to believe Zheng's words.
The most surprising thing is Cao Wenxuan's income. In 20 19, Cao Wenxuan's annual income is as high as 27 million. Why did Cao Can's selected works earn such a high income? In addition to writing his articles into textbooks, Cao Wenxuan also included his books in the recommended reading list of textbooks and bought books on campus. Every year, thousands of parents buy "extra-curricular books" for their children according to the recommendation list, which is why Cao Wenxuan can earn 27 million yuan just by buying books.
Zheng is also very dissatisfied with Cao Wenxuan's high income: he clamored for Cao, the editor-in-chief, to produce the tax bill of that year, and things became more and more mysterious. Although Cao Wenxuan is a professor at Peking University, he is not qualified to write textbooks with his qualifications. Wen Rumin is the only person who really let his articles enter the teaching materials and be promoted to editor-in-chief. Wen Rumin used to be the director of Peking University Institute of Chinese Education, the editor-in-chief of Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools hired by the Ministry of Education, and the head of the Chinese Department of Peking University.
Wen Rumin is a great figure in today's literary world. He is responsible for compiling high school Chinese textbooks. He invited Cao Wenxuan. He admires Cao Wenxuan very much. They used to be neighbors and had a deep friendship. Later, Wen Rumin invited Cao Wenxuan to be the editor-in-chief of the new junior middle school Chinese textbook, which was quite a bit of a gesture of recommending talents and not avoiding relatives.
Wen Rumin and Cao Wenxuan also wrote Great Chinese together. Much of this book is also controversial. The school explained that the textbooks are mainly aimed at middle school students, not primary schools. I hope you can give your opinions after reading the article. The implication is that we ordinary parents are not qualified to comment on Professor Peking University's articles, and think it is inappropriate because of insufficient literary literacy?
Now that the textbook has been questioned, Cao Wenxuan has remained silent, but his predecessor, Wen Rumin, has come forward to respond. He denied that China textbooks were smuggled. It means that the selection of teaching materials needs to go through layers of checks, and after more than twenty or thirty rounds of review, it is impossible for one person to have the final say, so it doesn't matter if you bring private goods. As for why Cao Wenxuan's works were chosen, Wen Rumin clarified that it was not put forward by Cao Wenxuan himself, but decided by the writing group collectively. They think "Lu Hua Shoes" and "Lonely Journey" are rare and good works, which are worth reading by primary and secondary school students, not smuggled goods. Moreover, Cao Wenxuan's works "Bronze Sunflower" and "Straw House" are all award-winning works, especially "Bronze Sunflower" won the "National Excellent Children's Award", and it is well-deserved to be selected as a textbook.
Editors may think that these works have "literary aesthetics", but they can't look at a book written for minors from the perspective of an adult. I hope that both teaching materials and teaching AIDS can be written more attentively and give students a clean learning environment. As for these writers, whether they use textbooks to start a business or not should be handed over to the relevant departments for further investigation, not just listening to one person. However, it is undeniable that there are indeed problems in the compilation of teaching materials. I hope it can be revised in time and supervision will continue to be strengthened in the future.
