For example, writer Chi Zijian said: "This year's National Paper 1 essay is not very difficult, and it is easy for candidates to understand and use it. At the same time, there is not much room for candidates to express their personal imagination. , there is not much room to test candidates’ personal talents. The idea is not new, candidates should like it, it is easy to answer, it is very close to the candidates’ real life, and it reflects the positive side of exam-oriented education. ”
Writer Feng Jicai said in his review: "The topic is good and quite innovative. In the era of picture reading, a large number of pictures give people pleasure and pleasure, which is suitable for young people. Children receive many pictures every day, and they are interested in composition. Taking the form of comics can easily arouse children's interest in the topic. However, there is a problem with comic compositions. It is difficult to encourage children to explore deeper meanings. Compositions should enable children to explore something, because reading pictures is in the "fast food era." "The surface reactions of "often cannot be reflected in the deeper feelings and thoughts. This is a problem brought about by the visual age and the Internet age. In the Internet age, fast-food-style and commercialized communication makes it difficult for people to get a taste of it, but compositions need to inspire children. Think about it.”
If you were a candidate, how would you write this year’s college entrance examination essay? A reporter from the Zhengzhou Evening News invited five young writers born in the 1990s to write essays for this year's college entrance examination in Henan. Let's see how many points they can get. Which one do you like better?
"Slap" or "Kiss"
Xia Chaoyang
When it comes to children's education, most parents' ideas are that "strict teachers make good students", "A filial son emerges from under a stick". It is believed that relying on the two powerful tools of "slap" and "kiss" is enough to make a child successful and honor his ancestors.
People are familiar with the story of the “tiger mother”. Parents who hope that their children will achieve success all hope that under their “stick” education, their children will lead the way with excellent results and eventually be admitted to a prestigious school. However, what about after getting admitted to a prestigious school? When children are coerced by the "learning-oriented" ideology that has been instilled since childhood, and finally stand out from the battle of "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge", can they really achieve success as parents expect?
The "slap plus kiss" education method simply means that when the child performs poorly in a certain aspect, the parents give the child a lesson; when the child performs well in a certain aspect, , the parents praised them vigorously. On the surface, this education method is beyond reproach and can effectively cultivate children's strengths and eliminate children's shortcomings. But if we think deeper, we will find problems.
This kind of education method will give children a wrong psychological perception. Excellent academic performance is to avoid punishment from parents or to be rewarded by parents. Many children do not understand the relationship between academic performance and themselves. Although the elders around them often talk about "what can I do if I study well...", they cannot feel it at their age, so when they are attracted by new things, It’s easy to get carried away having fun and forget about studying. Young children can still be "coerced and induced" by their parents, but once they reach adolescence, will the rebellious children be willing to be their parents' little sheep? There are countless such examples, and the key reason is that parents only care about scores and ignore children's learning interests. Interest is the biggest motivation that drives a person to persist in a long-term career. If parents want their children to complete their long-term studies with excellent grades, they cannot let their children learn passively under the "slap and kiss", but Cultivate children's interest in learning and let them learn to learn proactively.
More importantly, education under "slap" will cause harm to children's hearts and damage the relationship between children and parents, while education under "kiss" will cause children to develop Too much vanity is not conducive to the cultivation of children's ability to be independent. Moreover, if you focus exclusively on your child's academic performance and ignore the cultivation of your child's abilities in life, making friends, etc., you may eventually develop a "specialist talent" who can do nothing but study.
You cannot have both "slap" and "kiss", but parents can also choose not to have both, establish a close relationship with their children, cultivate their children's interest in learning, and pay attention to their children's various aspects. Ability rather than just academic performance. "Three hundred and sixty skills, one can become the number one scholar". It is not only good academic performance that can lead to "become a dragon". If all the children scored 100 points, no one would stand out. Everyone has their own strengths. What this society needs is comprehensive talents. We should believe that every child has talents, but they are good at different fields.

Crying and Laughing
Ge Yao
Ren Gongyou said: The brushstrokes often convey emotion. When I read this article for the first time, I felt that life is a bit desolate. Feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have no reason to do so. They are forced to teach by words and deeds from their parents, teachers, and friends. Not following the wishes of parents is considered unfilial and disobedient to teachers and is considered unteachable. However, there are many great masters in ancient and modern times who apostatize and deviate from the teachings. Moreover, the words of teachers and parents are not the yardstick of justice. What is right and wrong are nothing more than the pros and cons of imposing their thoughts on others. Looking at the world today, where are the people who respect teachers and Taoism? How many people are there who value the teacher’s etiquette and understand the principles of the world? It's nothing more than confusing the public with the words black and white. Master, it's just a job to make a living.
Those who have been misplaced have nowhere to talk, and when they wake up, where can they find a place to express their sorrow?
Today's people are different from the ancients. People are in high places and have no reason to be low. Denial is everywhere. No one cares about your suffering. Just say that if you haven't done it, you haven't tried your best. Otherwise, it will be said. You are making excuses. There is no place for the resentment to be dispelled, and it becomes the root cause of the disease over time. Some of it is soaked in the filth and rain of the world and turns into cancer, which is unintentional for the family and also for the society.
Nowadays, everyone is interested in "Western learning", whether it is "seeking the true scriptures", or just to "coat oneself", swallowing the jujube without seeking the essence, traveling between China and the outside world, but becoming a middle-class person. The ghost man, who is neither Chinese nor Western, has no backbone himself, and then he seeks the way of Confucius and Mencius in ancient books. He only knows it is good but does not know how good it is, and he has ruined the lives of future generations.
The learning of the ancients, firstly, does not seek the benefits of sensuality, dogma, and horse, and secondly, does not seek to hear the names of princes, but only seeks to leave a name in the green tomb after death. This is the most simple way. Utilitarianism is as big as the grand plan of the founding prime minister: studying for the rise of China, and others. The mind is concerned with the sea, and the swallowing and exhaling are the rivers and mountains. His economical style is roughly the heroic spirit of drinking the water of the Yellow River and swallowing the sun and the moon again. Teachers and elders should encourage young people to follow the path of good deeds. A man born in heaven and earth should not live with petty profit-seeking people. There may not be much left of his awe-inspiring atmosphere today, instead of relying on superficial utilitarianism such as wine, sex, wealth and inducement. The ancients were not ashamed of this, but today people often use it as an appetizer before meals. They are angry at others but do not feel ashamed. The two words "hehe" are enough to explain the despicable behavior of his heart.
As the ancients said, words and deeds teach. Today's people are not so good, they only know words but don't know how to teach by example. The fault will be forced on the children themselves, and they will not be responsible for their own self-discipline. I wonder if the big families in ancient times are like this. If there is a Tao, everyone will be willing to commit adultery.
As the saying goes, both parents are teachers and friends. If there is a gap between close relatives, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to fill it. Human existence in heaven and earth has its own unique laws. Whether to criticize or praise, don't just look at the results. Among all the people rowing, the only one who is talking about things does not care about the hard work of others. Even if he has a yellow robe, he will be thrown into the river sooner or later.
Today’s innocence is mostly tarnished by the pros and cons of the world. They often impose their own consciousness on others, but fail to account for cause and effect. There is a saying in Buddhism that good causes will lead to good results. In this world, there is a principle of cause and effect. If a person knows his shame and does good, and strives for eternity, it is natural that his family can support him with kind words and praise. This path is reasonable. If you have hit rock bottom and call the sky, you should not be met with sarcastic comments from your loved ones instead of warm words of encouragement and persuasion, which will only make your heart feel cold and your belly cold and refreshing. As the saying goes, making good friends with others is not as good as adding icing on the cake to giving someone timely assistance. This should be the case between teachers and friends, and this is especially true in the way of getting along with parents and children. Otherwise, things will inevitably go against each other, and the snowball will roll further and further away. If the flood breaks the dam and the situation becomes uncontrollable, it will be too late for you to regret it.
The ancestors once said: Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. Now that I think about it, it still feels like a glass of wine and herbal tea lingering in my nose, leaving endless aftertaste. As the saying goes, there is a true meaning in the music, but I have forgotten the words in trying to discern it.

Anti-traditional education
Innovation in questioning
Wan Wenkui
In the cartoon, student A got high grades but was beaten, which is abnormal. The human attitude is that Student B is praised for his poor performance, which is surprising. The reason is that Student A's performance has declined while Student B's performance has increased. According to common sense, people would find this incredible, but this is the reality.
The standard for measuring a person has changed. It is no longer about the level of performance, but about progress and regression. We may find it difficult to accept it. Analogy to today's society, when we are accustomed to the fact that one plus one equals two, we will not doubt the second answer. However, if someone questions it one day, we will think that they are crazy. The social atmosphere remains unchanged forever, and they adhere to the laws of their ancestors like jade and do not know the principles of change.
Yes, many people will be like this, and the weakness of human nature is also the same. They are unwilling to face reality and refuse to change.
While we are accustomed to being taught "rules", we have ignored innovation and lost the courage to doubt. How is this different from being lifeless? It’s better to throw away the tasteless food!
Take students as an example. Most of us will accept traditional education and regard it as "classic". It is true that classics will remain forever, but this does not exclude the dross in them. There is a saying in the teacher's saying: Hearing the Tao There are successive professions and specializations, that's all. Everyone has their own skills that they are best at, which can be developed and differentiated. Therefore, no one can be copied. Confucius said: When three people walk together, there must be a teacher. Don't be blindly arrogant, but know how to be humble. study. Not following the crowd, taking the essence and using it, adapting to the development and changes of society, is the spiritual outlook that today's youth should have.
In addition, we are often troubled by the fixed thinking, we believe in old rules, are unwilling to develop new methods, and stick to the rules. This will lead to attempts to degenerate step by step, ignoring many bold ideas, and Ending with regret! Therefore, it is important to change the growth mindset in questioning.
Therefore, we must learn to question, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and seek innovation within tradition. Only in this way can we have a new way of survival.
As the younger generation, we should abandon the customs, not stick to the old rules, not be troubled by the tradition, show the vitality of the younger generation, open up new methods, introduce the old and bring forth the new, and welcome the new developments in the future. situation!

Be kind to current and future generals
Jing Zhuoran
Is there a general in the world who never loses a battle? Maybe, but it must have been written by the writer. A thousand-mile horse sometimes stumbles, and a tiger sometimes takes a nap. General Yongsheng does not exist in real life.
A is the "student master" of the class. His scores in all subjects are at the forefront of the class. He is a "good boy" in the eyes of parents, teachers and students. But we can't pour honey into his ears just because he got perfect marks in this exam, without fear of him becoming proud. Let's not let us yell at each other and use feather dusters on our butts just because he loses two points next time. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in military affairs. We should educate our children not to be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, and to welcome every exam calmly. If he gets full marks, advise him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity; if he loses a small mark, remind him to sum up his experience. The top students cultivated in this way will have a mentality that will not worry about gains and losses, will develop normally mentally, and will be able to integrate into society in the future with determination and ease, and become the pillars of the country, nation, and family.
As the saying goes, good children are praised. Although B failed this time, we should be kind to him, help him analyze the reasons, help him improve his quality, and let him make a turnaround next time. Isn't our education designed to enable everyone to make progress? We must not judge heroes based on the level of their credits. There are many people with high diplomas and low levels, and there are countless people with low diplomas and high levels. Low academic performance does not mean that someone has poor abilities in other areas.
Yes, most of the students studying in school now are only children. Educating children is like buying lottery tickets. Maybe it is a university or middle school. The children are admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, and the parents have a good harvest; Maybe the child is in primary school or not in middle school, and the child is only admitted to a junior college, or even fails. Parents may think that their investment is in vain. In fact, parents’ investment in education will never be in vain. Although the child's academic performance is not good, perhaps in the process of learning, he has realized the way of doing business, the way of being a writer, and the way of being a human being, and these are the ways of survival in future life.
In fact, whether a "student master" has a score of 100 or 98, as long as he has a correct learning attitude, the parents' expressions and body language should not be worried about gains and losses. For student B who is hovering on the edge of passing, parents should focus on encouraging and helping. After all, the child is making progress. People are like crops, some mature early and some mature late. The so-called late bloomers should also be true for this reason. The child's current test scores are not good, but his or her scores in real life may be enough to make people look up to him.
When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be in decline. Student A is a general with a score of 100 and a general with a score of 98. Know your shortcomings and make up for them, know your shame and then be brave. Student B with a score of 55 is a future general and a score of 61 is on the way to becoming a general.
Be kind to current and future generals, and do not decide whether to send flowers or sticks to students based on their scores. This issue is worth pondering for teachers and parents.
