This book is a little rough at first reading, with a lot of content and profound content, involving history, geography, humanities, folk customs and so on. Part of the content is difficult to understand because of ethnic reasons.
From the picture, the picture in this picture book is very beautiful and distinctive, with soft lines and a little Komori feeling. There are many humanized descriptions in A Quiet Nature, which makes people feel the beautiful atmosphere of "harmony between man and nature" that the author wants to describe. The style of writing is also very poetic, and many metaphors are used to explain "what is a river?" This huge theme.
Literally, a river can be a line, a journey, a home, a vitality, a name, a gathering place, a hidden place, a memory, a smell, a water body, an energy, a reflection, a road and an ocean! The author borrows grandma's story and gives an answer of *** 13 from different angles. Every answer may be mixed with human geography, and some have biological content.
Every page, whether it is text or pictures, the author generally has a multi-level and multi-angle description. For example, my favorite content on page 8 is the story of vibrant animals and rivers, as well as famous rivers such as Heraclitus and Jordan River, which show the vitality of rivers from different angles.
I have to say here that this book is really full of details. For example, Heraclitus, who appeared on this page, was actually an ancient Greek philosopher, that is, a philosopher who put forward that "one cannot walk into the same river twice". It is said that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, and now he is located in a place called Yardeni.
In terms of details, there is a 14 page lock, which is also displayed in the picture book, symbolizing people's good wishes.
There are also pages about the origin of river names; For example, the discovery of the Amazon River and the New World; Rivers and the development of national economy and culture; Myths and legends of rivers; ; Countries that originated from rivers, even countries named after rivers; Rivers and religions, such as the Indus River; Rivers and environmental protection; River power generation .......
Generally speaking, the pictures in this book are very beautiful and the color matching is very advanced, giving people a warm feeling.
The writing is also beautiful, like poetry.
It's just that there are too many contents, maybe I don't have enough connotation, and many contents need to consult the reference materials to understand their connotation.
However, personally, I think too much content is complicated and involves too many complicated issues, such as religion and environmental protection. The author wants to talk about it, but it's all superficial, only that it has something to do with rivers. What does it matter? The author didn't mention the narrator who might need picture books to supplement it.
But the same book, so many subjects, so much content, is a bit like a hodgepodge.
Anyway, I don't particularly agree with this content, and I don't recommend it. At least junior high school students and even adults can watch it?
