Recently I asked my daughter which articles in the Chinese textbook she likes best? My daughter said she liked Lu Xun’s articles the most. I'm secretly surprised that children have such good taste? Mr. Lu Xun is a huge mountain of modern Chinese literature. Isn’t it the most serious, profound, and combative literary image? Can students like it from the bottom of their hearts?
After some communication, my daughter told me many interesting things about Lu Xun while saying, "Brother Xun is so cute." What about fighting pigs, going to Xidan to buy a bunch of candies just after getting my teeth filled, and Internet celebrity quotes like "Save the children", "There are two trees in the yard, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." "The classic meme. In short, she said that when she thought of Lu Xun’s lovely image, reading his words filled her mind with pleasure. In addition, Lu Xun's articles were not false at all, they were very true and beautiful, so she liked them.
My daughter also said to me, you don’t even know this? Check it out online yourself! Unexpectedly, children fell in love with Lu Xun mainly because of his "funny" character. Xia Yan said that Lu Xun was "humorous as hell"; Chen Danqing commented that Lu Xun was "the most fun-loving person in China in a century." I think if the teacher can start from this point, he will be able to successfully cultivate more children's interest in reading Lu Xun, starting with the cute characters, starting with prose, and gradually moving to essays and then to more complex thoughts.
(Excerpted from the Internet)
I feel that what children often read on a daily basis are the simple, straightforward and practical texts on public accounts. In addition to Chinese textbooks, prose should be disappeared from their sight. Now that you have some interest in high-quality writing, you should find some more materials for your children to enjoy reading. I have the impression that there is a series of picture books called "Everyone's Little Pictures", which are classic prose works by modern literary masters, supplemented by beautiful pictures, which are so beautiful. I borrowed a few books first, including Mr. Lu Xun’s classic prose "She Opera".
The illustrations in this book are so beautiful that I read it myself first and found it a hundred times more interesting than when I read textbooks in my childhood. The beautiful Jiangnan water town, the theater floating on the water, the awning boat like a water taxi, the white-striped friends in the waves, the twists and turns of watching the theater... Why did I not find it so interesting to read it when I was a child, and just studied it as a text? What's on your back?
After reading the book, my son became interested in cooking beans on the awning boat. He asked his father why there were cooking utensils on the boat and he could light a fire for cooking at any time. Dad explained that in the past, many people in the south of the Yangtze River made boats their home and lived on the water. There were no tiles on the shore. After liberation, I didn’t have an address when registering my household registration, so the government forced me to go ashore for resettlement. As traditional canal shipping disappeared, this group slowly disappeared. I think you should have a perceptual understanding of this after reading "Changjin Lake". The protagonist's family lives on a boat. His parents said, "Our family has been floating on the water for generations."
If after reading this book, you are confused about the "big ship" and "white-covered ship" that a group of children ride on in the book, you can just read another book - according to Mr. Lu Xun's brother Zhou Zuo "Owl Boat" edited by Human Letters. The same water town, the same life, told by different narrators, it is quite interesting to refer to each other. In the letter, Mr. Zhou Zuoren introduced to his friends in detail the awning boat, a means of transportation in his hometown, as well as the differences between the small awning boat and the large white awning boat, as well as the various memories and experiences of riding the awning boat.
Looking at the pictures in the book, I couldn't help but think of the time when the children were young and I took them to Shaoxing to play. The pictures were exactly the same as those in the book, but the children didn't recognize Lu Xun at that time.
This series of books has been published in several series, with a total of thirty books. I feel that the illustrations have greatly improved the readability and interest of those beautiful articles that are no longer with us. Among them are several other famous works by Mr. Lu Xun: "Young Runtu", "Kong Yiji", and "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore". I think that at the right time, you might as well enjoy it with your children, regain the beauty of prose, and taste folk customs, China, childhood, and the four seasons in the eyes of literary people.
