I paid special attention to it yesterday, because my brother's family had children in primary school, so I found a textbook and read it. It's really like this. It feels really strange. Intuitively ugly, it can be said to be extremely ugly. Others have blank eyes, a sick look, no sense of beauty, and don't look like a lively and lovely child at all. Not only that, there are several pages of rabbit ears and tongue sticking out.
The version of this hot search is 1 1 set of primary and secondary school textbooks published by People's Education Publishing House, covering grades one to six, and the examination time is 20 12/20 13. The layout and illustrations are from "Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio".
It is understandable that art is controversial, but now it appears in primary school textbooks. This is not a question of whether art is not artistic, but whether it is suitable or not. As I said above, I don't want to talk about aesthetic factors, because the illustrations in the textbook include stars and stripes, W-shapes, bunnies, squinting and insulting elements. There are different interpretations. It is another concept completely, and it is more appropriate to describe it with meticulous fear.
Without contrast, there is no harm. Look at the cover of the Chinese textbook published by People's Education Press below. It's totally different. It looks very comfortable, the overall painting style is healthy, the children are full of vitality, and the elements of youthful vitality are perfectly displayed. Looking at it is very emotional.
I believe everyone knows that beauty and ugliness are just appearances, and they are all textbooks published by PEP. Why is the gap so big?
We look at the Chinese textbook: 1 editor-in-chief, four primary school editors, one of whom is the great writer Cao Wenxuan. There are eight editors. Responsible editor and Art editor 3 people. Among them, it is called why. The writing unit is organized by the Ministry of Education.
Look at the math textbooks again: 0 editors in chief. There are four chief editors and deputy chief editors. Editor in chief 14. Editor-in-Chief and Art editor. Layout and illustration are now called Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio, and Art editor Zheng Wenjuan belongs to this studio. Compiled by People's Education Publishing House, Institute of Curriculum Textbooks, and Primary School Mathematics Curriculum R&D Center.
Boy, it is obvious that the compiling unit of Chinese textbooks is organized by the Ministry of Education, which is very authoritative. This math textbook is jointly compiled by many units. If something goes wrong, we seem to have to pass the buck to each other.
There are also great differences in personnel. There are editors-in-chief and famous writers in Chinese textbooks, which are quite professional. There are many mathematics textbooks, but they are not professional.
Art editor is also important. China Art editor is not an ordinary person. In the second national press and publication industry graphic design competition, He's works won the prize. The contest was sponsored by the State Press and Publication Administration, and its professional ability was recognized by authoritative organizations.

On the other hand, Art editor, a popular math textbook, works in a private studio, namely Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio. Wu Yong belongs to the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts (formerly Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts). Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, well, everyone knows.
I really want to ask, what the hell is this "Wu Yong Design Studio"? How did this pass the audit? No one questioned during the audit? According to what standard?

It is true that everyone's spit in this incident is ostensibly saying that illustrations are "too ugly". Through the above comparison, this is not only the beauty and ugliness of the relationship, but also the deep anger of the publishing house and relevant examination and approval departments.
On May 26th, People's Education Press responded quickly:
But people don't seem to buy it, because there is no investigation result, no apology, only cold words.
Textbooks and teaching materials are designed to convey truth, goodness and beauty. It is important to distinguish beauty from ugliness, but it is more important to cultivate children's judgment on "right and wrong" and "right and wrong". Textbooks are used to sow seeds for children. How do they have a negative impact? And textbook illustrations are not only related to the cultivation of aesthetics, but also related to the cultivation of values. If such illustrations are popularized, the child's final psychology should be dark. Only healthy and sunny illustrations can make children more positive and have better value pursuit.
According to the news, the Teaching Materials Bureau of the Ministry of Education has paid attention to this matter and intervened in the investigation. I believe it will be severely punished, and everyone should believe it.
Here, I call on the state departments to investigate this matter, investigate these people and these organizations, and give an account to the whole society. Plant trees for ten years and educate people for a hundred years. We really need to take it seriously. Finally, I want to remind parents that even students' textbooks will be "tampered with", so you really have to be careful when buying children's books.
