1, story introduction:
A swan egg broke its shell among the ducks, but because this little swan was ugly, it was not only rejected by the ducks, but also pecked, excluded and laughed at, even among the chickens. He felt inferior because he was so ugly that he became the object of ridicule by all chickens and ducks, and even his relatives rejected him. In desperation, the ugly duckling flew over the fence and ran away. Once, he met a hunting dog. The hunting dog just sniffed him and didn't catch him. He secretly rejoiced, "I am so ugly that even the hounds dare not bite me!" " "He was glad that he had escaped, but at the same time he regretted his ugliness. After that, the ugly duckling met many difficulties. Later, the yearning and pursuit for a better nature and a better life drove the ugly duckling to stop relying on others for survival. One day, three beautiful white swans swam all the way to him from the shade. The duckling recognized these beautiful animals and felt unspeakable sadness in his heart. The duckling feels that he wants to swim towards them, even if they kill themselves, it doesn't matter, because he loves beauty. But what did he see in the water? It is no longer an ugly duckling, but a beautiful swan!
2. The Ugly Duckling is a children's work with fairy tales and fables.
This book describes a swan egg that broke its shell in a flock of ducks. Because of its strange appearance, it was despised by peers, and it took great pains to grow into a white swan.
Explain that as long as you have ideals and pursuits and work hard for this goal, it doesn't matter even if you are in adversity. "Gold always shines." Frustrations and pains in life are inevitable, and we can only face them bravely. Everyone will have their own dreams. As long as they learn to set goals in life, they will truly realize that they can also become "white swans" and realize their dreams like ugly ducklings through self-confidence and hard work. At the same time, "ugly duckling" is also a metaphor for children or young people who are not paid attention to, and sometimes it refers to things that have just appeared and are not paid attention to.

3. Andersen's common sense of literature
Andersen (1805— 1875) is a Danish writer and a master of fairy tales.
1805 was born on April 2, 2005 in a slum in odense, Fiying Island, Denmark, and received a university education. My father was a poor shoemaker who volunteered to resist Napoléon Bonaparte's aggression and died in 18 16.
My mother is a laundryman and remarried soon. Andersen was tortured by poverty since he was a child. He was an apprentice in several shops and had no formal education.
When I was a teenager, I became interested in the stage and dreamed of becoming a singer, actor or playwright. 18 19 became a small role in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
Later, I was fired because of the wet voice. From then on, I began to learn to write, but the script I wrote was completely unsuitable for performance and was not adopted by the theater.
1822 sponsored by drama director Jonas Colin, attended a grammar school in Lehrer. This year, he wrote a book. Some stories show optimistic belief that goodness and beauty will prevail, while others are very pessimistic and have very unfortunate endings. Part of the reason why his stories are so attractive is that they sympathize with unfortunate people and vagrants.
He also wrote plays, novels, poems, travel notes and several autobiographies. 1in the early morning of August 4th, 875 1 1, died of liver cancer in a friend's country house.
The funeral was extremely tragic, at the age of 70. Andersen is the son of a poor shoemaker, and his mother is a widow on the verge of begging, who makes a living by washing clothes for others.
When Andersen was a child, he not only often dealt with hunger, but also was despised by people everywhere. However, he had a whimsical ambition, which was considered out of proportion to his background at that time-he wanted to be an artist, a ballet dancer, a singer, an artist who performed life and created beauty on the stage.
To this end, he became a laughing stock in the eyes of ordinary vulgar people. But he was not discouraged at all.
Andersen/KLOC-left his hometown of odense at the age of 0/4. What kind of fate awaited him in that bleak society at that time? Hunger and mental shock are inextricably linked with him.
But he overcame all kinds of difficulties with tenacious perseverance. Although poverty and the resulting diseases tortured his body, destroyed his figure and voice and prevented him from becoming a stage artist, he finally achieved his goal with strong will: he became a fairy tale writer loved by hundreds of millions of children all over the world.
The beauty and poems he created in fairy tales have become inexhaustible spiritual wealth and artistic treasures of mankind. Andersen is a famous Danish fairy tale writer in the19th century and the founder of world literary fairy tales.

4. Fill in the blanks with literary knowledge about Andersen's fairy tales.
Andersen's fairy tales are the fairy tales of Danish writer Andersen and one of the most famous fairy tales in the world.
His most famous fairy tales are Daughter of the Sea, Little Tin Soldier, Snow Queen, Thumbelina, Little Match Girl, Ugly Duckling and Red Shoes. Although the genre of creation belongs to fairy tales, it contains rich philosophy of life.
Early stage: full of beautiful fantasy and optimistic spirit, reflecting the combination of realism and romanticism. Representative works include Light Box, Flowers of Little Significance, Thumbelina, Daughter of the Sea, Wild Swan, Ugly Duckling, Princess on the Pea, etc.
Mid-term: the fantasy component is weakened and the reality component is relatively enhanced. In lashing ugliness and praising beauty, it shows the persistent pursuit of a better life, and also reveals the melancholy mood of lack of self-confidence. Representative works include The Little Match Girl, Shadow, A Drop of Water, Mother's Story, Puppet Player and so on.

The tone of the work is low. Representative works include Dream under the Willow, She is a Waste, Nightcap of a Bachelor, Lucky Beauty and Tian Yan.
Andersen is the first writer in the history of western literature to create fairy tales into serious literature. He has a deep understanding of western traditions, and skillfully uses a lot of biblical archetypes and metaphors in his works, which makes his works thicker than traditional fairy tales. On the other hand, Andersen is creative. He did not preach rigidly, nor did he copy the plot and logical relationship of the Bible. Therefore, he did not become a diagram of doctrine, but a work of art with independent value. This makes Andersen's fairy tales reconcile the "either-or" contradiction between "aesthetics" and "morality" that may exist in literature. Andersen is weak and kind. He believes in a complete "love of God". Andersen's fairy tales are more from the prototype of the New Testament than the Old Testament. In his works, as in life, in the face of the sufferings and misfortunes in the world, Andersen did not choose hatred, violence and resistance, but only drew acceptance and hope from his family. As one of his poems said, "You don't understand the fiercest struggle in the world but only know love". There is never despair in Andersen's fairy tales; Although often sentimental, but full of hope. This hope gives his works a sense of comfort beyond time and space. Andersen said in his autobiography: "I am full of love for God and all people!" And he believes that his life has proved that "there is an amiable and lovely God who guides everything to perfection". This is fully reflected in his fairy tales.
