The Scarecrow shows children the sufferings and fate of workers and peasants in the 1920s, and its writing style has long been the dominant style of Chinese children's literature creation. ?
Ye Shengtao's fairy tales have poetic artistic conception, easy-to-understand fairy tale language and nationalization style. His fairy tale theme and fairy tale content are very national. In the excavation of the theme of fairy tales, the scarecrow embodies a distinctive national color. In the narrative mode, it is a three-stage and partial repetition. The Scarecrow reflects the general bitterness and hardships of the people at the bottom of society through the unfortunate experiences of the old woman, the fisherman's daughter and the weak woman.
The Scarecrow shows people's sufferings, with gloomy atmosphere, novel and unique conception, delicate and realistic description and full of realistic content. ?
Judging from the tone of Ye Shengtao's fairy tales, most of them adopt repeated variations commonly used in folk stories. Although his fairy tales contain the inherent fantasy color of fairy tales, most of the details are mainly realistic, and the fantasy in the story is also produced on the basis of realism. Such realism is hard to find in ordinary fairy tales.
