After liberation, he served as deputy director of the General Administration of Publication, vice minister of education and president of People's Education Publishing House. He was a member of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth NPC Standing Committee, the fifth China People's Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee, the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the vice chairman of the sixth China People's Political Consultative Conference. Ye Shengtao began to write short stories in classical Chinese as early as 19 14, and changed to vernacular Chinese around the May 4th Movement. 192 1 At the beginning of the year, Mao Dun, Zheng Zhenduo and others initiated the organization of a literary research conference, and put forward the idea of "for life" and put it into practice seriously. His works in this period include Short Collection of Diaphragm (1926), Fire (1923), Offline (1924), City (1926) and Uneven Collection (. The works have a wide range of themes and rich contents, exposing and satirizing the darkness of the old society from different angles and sides, and reflecting the tragic fate of the people. The works created after seeing the rise of revolutionary forces are full of eager pursuit of light.
As early as 1920- 192 1 year, Ye Shengtao wrote many small poems for children, such as Children and Shadow, Worship Bodhisattva, Joy of Success, Little Fish, Two Children and Injury. These poems are about children's lives. From the winter of 192 1, he devoted himself to the creation of fairy tales. 1923, the first collection of fairy tales, Scarecrow, was published, which was called "a road created by China's fairy tales" by Lu Xun. 193 1 year, the second collection of fairy tales, Stone Statues of Ancient Heroes, was published. Later, he wrote fairy tales such as Smart Bison, Bird Whispering and Animal Whispering, Don't Be in the World, and also created fairy tale operas such as Bees and Wind and Waves.
Early fairy tales try to outline a beautiful life, a country where children are innocent; Soon, I realized that it is far better to show the injustice of the world to children than to cultivate their beauty with heart. In the later fairy tales, while enthusiastically praising the mass struggle and revolutionary forces, they mercilessly satirized and castigated the reactionary and decadent forces. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China wrote "Notes of a Teenager" at 1956, which vividly described the spiritual world of a teenager's growth, with rich imagination and beautiful scenery. In the same year, Selected Fairy Tales of Ye Shengtao was published. 1979, fairy tales such as scarecrow were published. As a famous modern writer and educator, and one of the contemporary "masters of language", Ye Shengtao has a special position in the history of children's literature in China, and is an important founder of China's modern fairy tale creation.
