Ye Shengtao is the main founder of modern children's literature in China. In the early days of the New Literature Movement, Ye Shengtao created a considerable number of children's songs, children's poems, children's novels, fairy tales, children's dramas and other works, which changed the face that China's early children's literature mainly relied on foreign works for compilation and restatement.
Extended data:
Ye Shengtao's children's literature works, such as children's poems, children's novels and fairy tales, have obvious children's literature consciousness, which has changed the weakness of early children's literature works, such as lack of skills, simple content and dependence on imitation, and has a mature modern children's literature and art paradigm.
At the same time, Ye Shengtao tried to call for and shape the generation of ideal individuals by means of education and literature, hoping that children would grow into brand-new people, placing their hopes on an ideal society in the future, and completing Ye Shengtao's construction of utopia with words, while children's literature texts were his practice fields bearing literary and educational ideals.
Through the text, it also reflects Ye Shengtao's appeal to rebuild modern citizens behind the reconstruction of children. Through Ye Shengtao's children's literature activities, we can further see the relationship between China's children's literature and national construction.
