Composition "China in the Book"

Take this example, I want to say: even as a China person, it is not easy to really understand China; Because China is a big book, a heavy, extensive and profound book. It is not easy to understand this big book thoroughly, but it is better to try to understand something than to be ignorant. In the annual CCTV Youth Song Contest, when a singer is embarrassed because he can't answer the common sense of China's history, it often attracts some ridicule. In fact, we should not just laugh at others and ask ourselves: What do we know about China, who was born and raised in Shanghai?

In the past twenty years, I have often heard some words of "starting from the doll". So, can we also apply it-looking at China from a doll? Of course, this can't be just a slogan. What matters is how to implement it effectively, and this set of Reading China (primary school volume, three volumes * * *) provides a good reader for implementation.

Each volume of "Understanding China" is divided into ethics, literature, art, science, folklore, paragraphs of ancient classic works, ancient poems, myths and legends, fragments of novels, and short articles introducing some related knowledge, with beautiful pictures; In terms of arrangement, as the editor said, "With reading proposed by the famous educator Mr. Ye Shengtao, we can combine selected articles, travel through ancient and modern times, broaden our horizons and give students a broad knowledge background." After reading it for the first time, the author thinks that the selected content is accurate and reasonable, easy to understand and suitable for primary school students to read and understand.

This set of books not only selects and records ancient classic works, but also includes elegant short articles related to China's history, culture, art or folk custom by modern and contemporary writers such as Shen Congwen, Bing Xin, Zhu Ziqing, Lao She, Wang Zengqi, Fu Lei and Jia Pingwa. These essays can help primary school students gain some knowledge of "understanding China" through simple reading, and be nourished by the spirit of "letting things go smoothly".

The author also had some surprises when reading, such as this article "Looking at Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses": Terracotta Warriors and Horses and figures are lifelike, but they look different, and no one is sad. They all seem to be standing guard for the great emperor with sincere joy. Their' material treatment' seems to be very good, otherwise how can we satisfy everyone? ..... They talked to each other loudly: "We have been sleeping for thousands of years. Today, when I woke up, I saw mountains and rivers full of flowers and the people were in high spirits. ..... We should also do our part and never lag behind others. Now is a good time to show your talents. Go! Do it! ..... "If Ji Xianlin was not printed in black and white, I can't imagine that words with such rich imagination and lyricism would be written by Mr. Ji.

Of course, it is not enough to indulge in how brilliant China was in ancient times. It seems a bit like A Q's "We used to be much richer". Let children "know China", not only let them know about ancient China, but also draw what they look like now; So I think the article "The Fifth Great Invention" in the book is very commendable. This article talks about the past-as early as 7,000 years ago, the ancestors in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China had planted rice, and this southern region as we know it was called "barbarian" by our "sages" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. Known as the "father of hybrid rice", Yuan Longping not only solved the problem of eating in China to a great extent, but also planted its hybrid rice varieties in India and Viet Nam, and achieved considerable yield. Some foreign experts even called Yuan's hybrid rice the "fifth great invention" of China after the four great inventions. This article can make people feel rationally that the four great inventions of the ancients are certainly worthy of glory, but our creation today is undoubtedly more precious-"reading" can not only stay in the past tense, but also be the present continuous tense. A few days ago, Reading China, which was planned by New Reading and Writing magazine and published by Shanghai Far East Publishing House, came out. Starting from the reality of students, this book selects fresh and approachable contents in the 5,000-year Chinese civilization. In the process of writing, we pay attention to the explanation in simple terms, illustrated with pictures and texts, and strive to make students happy to get close to and read.
