The painting style of characters in primary school mathematics textbooks makes people uncomfortable and the characters are morbid.
Before that, many people didn't pay much attention to the illustrations in textbooks, thinking that they were only used to help students understand knowledge and cultivate aesthetic concepts. However, these illustrations can also exert a subtle influence on students' psychology. At school, when we are distracted in class, we will look at every picture in the textbook very carefully. Over the years, students have repeatedly looked at such illustrations, and all the characters are squinting, drooping eyelids and depressed. It is completely inconsistent with the lively and happy characteristics of primary school students.
As early as before, Qian Zhongshu said in Fortress Besieged that this kind of painting "looks like the faces of China people in newspaper cartoons". Our primary school students in China are not like this. This is no longer an aesthetic problem, but an uglification of China people.
Draw red skirts for boys, boys don't deliberately outline their private parts, little girls even have tattoos, and foreign elements appear in many places in the teaching materials, which seriously affects the values of primary school students. I still remember when I was a child, the characters in the textbook were all very sunny and lovely. I don't know when it started, the illustrations in the textbook are all like this.
Creators have also become targets of public criticism.
With the increasing popularity of illustrations and painting styles in textbooks, creators have also become the target of public criticism. No one can understand that it is really unacceptable to draw such figures with such a high degree and such a high level of education.
Textbooks are the carrier of knowledge transmission. Primary school students' three views have not yet been formed, their thoughts are not mature enough, their own judgment is weak and their plasticity is strong. Before this, the government has issued unified Chinese and aesthetic education textbooks and strictly supervised illustrations, which shows that the quality of illustrations has a great influence on students' body and mind.
Don't think this is a mountain out of a molehill. Once or twice, no one will care. Over time, it will become a big event. Art comes from life and life is a universal phenomenon. The strange children in the textbook are obviously abnormal, because this is a new textbook, and the characters in other textbooks are lively and intelligent, with fixed themes. Illustration is also a part of China's traditional culture, which embodies the inheritance of China culture and is also a kind of patriotism.
Attention should be paid to the pictures in children's books.
Especially in details, primary school students are rich in images and often find details that parents find difficult to find. Therefore, the creators of children's books should have childlike innocence and understand the hearts of primary school students.
As early as when art class and physical education class were neglected, the lack of aesthetic education was exposed, and students' physical quality declined. Understanding art and aesthetics has become the specialty of a few people. People don't care whether the illustrations in the book are good-looking or not, and whether they will have a bad influence on students. The influence of culture is inevitable. In the "cultural war", we seem to have lost at the starting line. The infiltration of western culture makes many students think that foreign culture is a high-level aesthetic, and China culture has become vulgar and low-level.
For so many years, these problems have been ignored, and even math textbooks have become "posters of others." Now that everyone is awake, we should let primary school students know that Chinese style is also beautiful, understand China's excellent traditional culture, love China culture, and educate the next generation without aesthetic education.
