Appreciation of childhood game prose

what is the game? In the theory of "game theory" of the origin of literature and art, Schiller thinks: "People live in the real world and are bound by both material and spiritual aspects, so they are often not free; Therefore, people always want to use their remaining energy to create a free world, which is the game activity. " Gross pointed out: "Games are not aimless activities. The games of young animals and children are all preparations for practical activities needed in future life. For example, girls playing with dolls are practicing being mothers in the future.

Childhood is always inseparable from games. Careless children play from morning till night every day, never tired, no! If they are tired, they will continue to play, but they will never finish playing. What are they playing?

Playing glass balls, slapping (throwing paper shells), jumping rubber bands, hanging old treasures, riveting sledges, hide-and-seek, three words, making snowmen, having snowball fights, catching chickens with eagles, throwing sandbags, throwing handkerchiefs, playing ice, catching dragonflies, kicking shuttlecocks, shaking hula hoops, cutting cloth with stones, and making the world peaceful.

wow! Countless! Most of these games have been passed down to today, and some games that children are still playing are often seen by us adults, which makes us feel nostalgic and miss our childhood games.

I remember when I was a child, games were always inseparable from poplars. After the 6-year flood, many lush poplars appeared in the old town of Xihu, and "hanging old treasures" came from poplar leaves. Every autumn comes, a lot of plump poplar leaves attract children to pick them up, then remove them and hook them with stems. Whoever doesn't hang and fold them is an old treasure. In order to turn their stems into old treasures, some people grind them on the wall and sip them under their feet, no matter how dirty. In order to become old treasures, they try their best to transform them.

In the past, folding games were not some origami that children bought in bookstores now. At that time, we would fold handkerchiefs into "mice", green bristlegrass into "puppies" and poplar leaves into "small bags" (it was a basket and wallet on mom's arm when playing house).

"riveting plow" is the name of the old man, and now it is called sliding dog plow. In the past, the average poor family didn't call it a sledge, but children who love to play by nature are always so smart-secretly take out their own shovels or washbasins and slide on the loess pile with their adults on their backs. It gets dark early in winter, and if you hear an adult calling, you won't go home immediately. When your family comes out to look for it in person, it's time to be beaten, because the washbasin is worn out, the shovel handle is broken, and the' back butt of cotton trousers is wet and sticky loess. After a beating, you will steal these belongings and go outside to rivet the sledge.

"Peace in the World" is a game in which the word "Tian" is drawn on the land with wooden sticks or stones. First, the words "Peace in the World" should be written in the grid, and then the winner will write a note through the "stone top cloth". After writing it, around the word "Tian", steamed buns and flags will be drawn respectively, and "Zhubao" will be drawn diagonally. This kind of game reflects people's desire for "peace" and demand for "food and clothing" in the past. Now, it's not easy to find a piece of land to play this game. If you find it, you still need chalk, so you just have to go to the store to buy a plastic map to play!

"Yi Ga La Ha" is a traditional game of the Han nationality. "Ga La" is the joint of the pig. This game needs five joints of the pig. People have made up many "passes" to see who can pass the game with good skills. The plastic galaha sold in the market now is not as easy to play with as the bones of real pigs, because the plastic is too light and it is difficult to control the strength thrown into the air.

Looking back on the past is an activity that is close to nature, very simple, free and free without any expenses. Nowadays, children will clamor for their parents to buy such and such toys, but they still think the toys they have are not fun. Now children have everything they want, but why are they not so happy? Because of their lack of playmates, the most important thing is that they rarely have the opportunity to play with children. Besides making up lessons is training, parents are not at ease with their children going out to play alone. When we were young, our families didn't care where we went wild, as long as we went home.

Finally, I'd like to talk about the girl's game "bungee jumping". Traditional rubber band skipping is accompanied by many ballads of the times, such as:

"There are eight companies on Nanjing Road, one pair of trousers is worn for nine years, three years after the first three years, and three years after sewing."

-"Good Eight Company"

"Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie and Jiang Jie, you shed blood for the people, and blood donation was not in vain. We must take revenge!"

-Jiang Jie

I found that when girls jump rubber bands now, they just giggle and jump around, and those beautiful traditional songs disappear without a trace. What a sad thing!

I remember that Wang Meng, a famous scholar, came to Benxi to make a forum on "harmonious culture" and said that the current works have no sense of history, and history is the brand of the times, just as some literary works can last forever and be brilliant, not only because of their "historicity", but also because of their rich "traditional cultural connotation". "I really can't stand that people nowadays don't even know who Confucius is." I am also helpless that children nowadays have never even heard such game songs as "Good Eight Company" and "Jiang Jie". Games, like literature and art, need certain communicators for their development and inheritance. I think the most direct communicators should be the parents of children.
