Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is accused of being unsuitable for children because of these eight words. Why do people always find faults in the teaching materials?

Zhu Ziqing is a famous essayist and poet in modern China. Many of his articles have been selected into primary and secondary school textbooks, such as Spring, Haste, Back, Night in the Lotus Pond and so on, which are all very classic articles. However, no matter how classic the article is, it can't stand the blind thinking of some people. In recent years, I don't know whether people's academic attitude is becoming more and more rigorous or because some "experts" want to attract attention. Some people start to find faults from the texts selected in the teaching materials to show their uniqueness.

Mr. Zhu Ziqing is famous. If we can find something wrong with his article, it will naturally attract everyone's attention. So first, Ding Qizhen, an associate professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, issued a document saying that the description of Zhu Ziqing's prose "The Back" is inappropriate and suggested that this text be removed from junior high school textbooks.

Let's take a look at the reason why Professor Ding thinks that The Back should be removed, and see what's wrong with such a classic. Professor Ding believes that Zhu Ziqing's description of his father crossing the platform and the railway track in the process of buying oranges violates traffic rules and will mislead students.

I have to admire this professor's ingenuity. When we are immersed in the deep affection between father and son in his works, he can think of traffic rules, not to mention that the things written in the article happened a hundred years ago. At that time, people's awareness of traffic safety was not strong, and when "father" crossed the platform, there was no staff to stop him, indicating that such behavior might be commonplace at that time. The article mainly depicts the father's love, but this professor is critical. It is really a bit "off guard" to pay attention to the traffic safety awareness of people more than a hundred years ago.

The controversy over the traffic rules in The Back has not been settled, and the issue of "Yellow-related" in Moonlight on the Lotus Pond has been raised again. Some people think that some sentences in this article are imaginative. In fact, this view has existed for a long time. Yu Guangzhong was the first to question this article. He thought that there was a sentence in the article, "Like a beauty who just came out of the bath", and the description was easy to lead to association.

Many parents have also suggested that it is a bit embarrassing to read this part when instructing their children to read the text aloud. Middle school students are in adolescence. Although Mr. Zhu Ziqing uses such a metaphor to describe the moonlight in the lotus pond, the words and artistic conception are very beautiful, but it can't help but make young and ignorant students think.

As for the description of this paragraph, Mr. Ye Shengtao put forward his own opinions before he was selected as a textbook. He also thought that if he was selected as a textbook, it would be a bit indecent and too flashy. But after discussion by experts, I decided to keep the original style.

I don't think it's necessary to make a fuss. It's the Internet age, and the scale of information that students get from the media is more than just like "beauty comes out of the bath". Middle school students have a certain ability to distinguish right from wrong. Many times, many things are complicated for us adults. When I was in high school, I also learned Moonlight on the Lotus Pond. When I saw that so-called "romantic" sentence, I just felt that it was beautifully described and there was no other evil thoughts.

There is a saying that what you think is what you see. In fact, there is no need to find fault with literary works. It was a normal metaphor, and such an association, when it diverges, seems to be really a bit inappropriate. If the metaphor of "beauty coming out of the bath" is suspected of being involved in pornography, then it is "gentle and graceful" What about "I can't wait, toss and turn"? Shouldn't it be deleted, too?

Education lies in how to correctly guide children to appreciate beautiful things, and it cannot be deleted at once.
