Gan Guoxiang: Childhood Childlike Poems (Part Two) (Live Oral Record Edition)

This article is arranged according to the recording.

Science and art are different. Art and history become truth only because they are unique. Science becomes truth because it is the same everywhere. Please remember this sentence, humanistic spirit science is the only one, only to become the truth. When we become unique, we become truth, the truth in psychiatry.

Ye Xue's children's poems, through the teacher's presentation these two days, I have read three realms.

The first realm, represented by Hedgehog, is a kind of children's poem with moral and allegorical style. It uses stories to tell the truth, not intentions. It is close to education and far from poetry, but it is still a good poem. Read the poem "The Hedgehog says" carefully. The rose has thorns, which is its shortcoming, but it has roses. Even if it has shortcomings, people like it. The porcupine, on the other hand, develops the thorn representing the shortcoming into the advantage. For hedgehogs, thorns are their characteristics. How do people face their own characteristics? These characteristics have both advantages and disadvantages. This kind of poem pursues the spirit, which is correct and ingenious. It requires the reader to observe and then observe. Observation is scientific thinking, and observation is the opposition and difference between things and me. The thing is a strange other, and it is the material I want to dissect. When we are observing, it means that we are already doing natural science, not humanities. Moral education in children's poetry is redundant, even if a very good poem is added with morality, it will destroy the best things.

I really like this poem. Ye Xue and I are just two trees. We can't grow together. We can only look at each other from a distance.

The two trees are brothers and sisters, classmates and husband and wife, all of which are interdependent, leaving their own interpretation space for readers. When we want to join moral preaching, its space is narrow. This kind of poem is rare in Ye Xue's poems, and some of them are exquisite.

What is most popular with famous teachers is this kind of poem, which embodies the taste and beauty of things. The most polite is centipede. I think it represents the second realm of Ye Xue's poetry, which is wonderful. This requires imagination, observation and imagination! Show it, analyze it-I try to enter the other and become that thing. This relationship is "you and me".

There is also a third realm, which is the expression of human self and existence. Pursuing meaning and style. It is experience, feeling and understanding! I forget things, things are me, I am things. I am not the physical me, but the whole me in front of me. Everything in the world is ready for me. This heart is the universe, and the universe is this heart. Everyone likes Jin Meiling's Stars and Dandelions, which is of course good, but isn't Ye Xue's Collection of Grass Beads as good as this poem?

Have you read any books about sympathy? Compassion.

Let's talk about the combination of reading and writing in children's poetry teaching. Is the teaching of children's poetry a word game until it becomes poetry? In other words, it is to restore the poet's life world, enter a vivid life world, and create a life truth that we have experienced. I think words blur our direct connection with the life world, so playing with words will never produce good poetry. Only people who don't know the language can speak words and sentences well and open a Chinese dictionary. Which word is not a good word? Both the initial writing and the writing inspired by Ye Xue's poems are not "looking for a good metaphor", but:

Recall the deepest connection between something (whether clouds or raindrops) and my life: which time, which day and which moment it surprised me or calmed me, how can I express this surprise and calm? In other words, I have mastered the mystery of a new language game, and I will try to imitate it.

If I come to the shadow, before class, I will write down my ten advantages and five disadvantages. At the end of the class, let the children imitate the original poem and write one or two shortcomings in the format of "The shadow is good … and I …". You will find that this is a kind of psychotherapy and a moral lesson. We should externalize our shortcomings, discard them and reach a settlement with ourselves.

Where is its mystery? How can I write a poem if only grass appears in the second verse? If there is "busy", in fact, the meaning of this poem has already appeared, then only the construction of language is left. Therefore, don't write the whole poem, let the children write it first, and then compare it with the poet, and you may find it better than the poet's. Instead of learning before teaching, nor teaching before learning, we compete with poets in the game of poetry.

Everyone thinks of ladybugs as little jeeps. What will happen if we play together? What if they are gathering? How to realize the "game" again and again? How should I taste it?

The same is true of Sheldon Silverstein's Who and The Springboard, which reveal the game method of Sheldon's poetry. This is a bit difficult. It doesn't matter whether you write or not. Understand that this kind of poem is a poem, not in imagination, but in deliberate surprise. So its teaching point is how to discover and create this kind of surprise, and imitation is worthless. Poetry can only be learned if it is broken. It is meaningless to imitate the sentence before it.

I don't pursue its original intention at all. I regard it as snow in Ninghai in summer.

Fairy tales and poems are unreasonable, and there is richness hidden behind them. Ants and snails are invisible in winter. A snow, a great scenery designer, suddenly created a brand-new stage and staged a wonderful story. This is not snow in the real world, but snow in fairy tales and poems. When snow falls all over the earth, the real world disappears, and the world of fairy tales and poems is born!

On the snowfield, everything performs and everything sings-we sparrows present and ants and snails who are not present are invited to perform: "Three or two snails are lying down, seeing the snow for the first time! Dazzling white makes them feel dizzy ... "

Dizziness is a must! This is the first time you have seen snow, and this is the first time snow has fallen on your heart. This is a brand-new world for them, and children's poetry is the snow of snails and ants in China's education in this era, which they have not encountered and experienced. And Mr. Wang Songzhou, Mr. Ye Xue and Mr. Zhang Zuqing, the "experienced sparrows", have the greatest courage to walk a tightrope between telephone poles at this moment. Occasionally deliberately staggered, so that the straws who have been staring at it are nervous for a while ... "They are teasing us!

Of course, the phrase "a jar of sunshine" is infinitely wonderful, and only drunkards can deeply understand it.

On the snowfield, everything performs and sings. Invite our sparrows present, and invite those ants and snails who are not present to play ..... to listen to childhood, protect childlike innocence and return to eternal childhood.

Growth requires a long study; Growth requires a lifetime of study.

Children's poems, fairy tales, nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes are the ways for us to return to innocence. As guardians of children, we should return to innocence.

Going back to nature means giving every river and mountain a warm name.

Just at this moment, we are still Adam and Eve, and we need to name everything:

If a name is a truth, if a name expresses our relationship with everything. Then, make yourself smaller and smaller.
