The Amethyst and Disciples Rules are rubbish, so don't let the children read them.

Three Amethyst and Disciples' Rules are traditional enlightenment textbooks in China, and they are the most popular and prestigious textbooks for children's enlightenment literacy in the current trend of Chinese traditional studies. I won't go into details about its contents.

Although Saint Amethyst and Disciple Rules have made great contributions to educational enlightenment for thousands of years. But due to the changes of the times. Changes in social context and ideological trend of the times. The language of Saint Amethyst and Disciples Rules is outdated and decadent. Although there are some flashes, they are generally text rubbish. Like toxic milk containing melamine, although most of it is milk, it may also contain poison. Will you let your children read?

Some people will say, you are great. Write an article and have a look. In fact, I really wrote such a children's enlightenment rhyme: Elegant rhyme Guo Xue's "Ode to the Boy". Today, in the form of comparison, I will talk about how the old versions of Mongolian children's textbooks "Saint Amethyst" and "Disciples Rules" make garbage. Of course, mine is not necessarily good. But the mule is a horse. Pull it out for a walk. It is also a great achievement to bring some enlightenment and thinking to everyone.

Because to start talking, the emperor may not have said enough. To put it simply, it is inevitable to hang leaks. Today, let's have a brief talk. After the topic is opened, we will have in-depth discussion and debate with interested friends.

Tongziyin is the sacred amethyst and disciple's rule in the new era. It absorbed the essence of the old version and made a brand-new creation at the same time. It contains the cultural and moral education knowledge that children need to grow up. Part of the content imitates the sacred amethyst and emphasizes the transmission of basic cultural knowledge; Part of the content imitates Disciples Rules, emphasizing the education of children's moral cultivation. Why didn't the author compile two new three-character classics and Disciples' Rules? Instead, the three-character classics and disciples' rules are combined into one. First, the two contents overlap; Second, there are some outdated contents in the two, and there is no need for children to learn now; Thirdly, the study time of primary school students is limited, so it is very simple to simplify the complex, save study time and improve study efficiency.

The main content of Disciples Rules is the moral admonition to children in feudal patriarchal society. It is the code of conduct for children such as "filial piety, courtesy and faithfulness", which is in line with the social environment and understanding at that time. From the perspective of modern people, it is meaningless, or decadent. For example:

Three years of mourning, often mourning. Living in a different place, wine and meat are absolute.

The funeral was complete and the ceremony was sincere. What happened to the dead is just like what happened.

Old people stand, young people don't sit. Old people sit, and life is sitting.

Keep your voice down in front of your elders. Inappropriate, low and smelly.

This is foolish filial piety and not worth taking. This lacks modern people's sense of equality. If we do this, we will train little slaves.

In view of this, the author made a careful thinking on Disciple Rules, took its essence and discarded its dross, referred to valuable ideas in various classics, and combined with the new fashion and new ideas of the times, compiled a three-character rhyme motto for children in the new era.

Give a few examples:

Men are brave and women have dignity. Clean as jade and firm as steel.

Stand loose and sit clock. Lie like a bow and walk like the wind.

Wealth can be given up, and reason must fight. Can be healthy and energetic.

Keep your word. Keep the agreement and keep the promise.

One spring, one morning. Time is pressing, and time waits for no one.

Take Wan Li Road and read thousands of books. Embrace the piano and repair the sword.

From the literary level, the narrative of Saint Amethyst is like a running account, and the words almost make people drool, which is not enough for students to learn elegant words. Even Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies in the period of the Republic of China, while affirming his persuasion function, thought that "the words of Saint Amethyst are too repetitive to be flowery". Now, let's make a simple comparison between the old and new versions of similar content. What about the astronomy, geography, animals and plants of Saint Amethyst? :

Three talents, heaven and earth people, three light people, sun, moon and stars.

Three cardinal guides and five permanent members, monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, these four seasons, luck is endless.

East, west, north and south, this square should be in the middle.

…………

It is said that benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith in the five permanent members cannot be confused.

There is vegetation on the ground. This plant is found all over land and water.

There are insects, fish, birds and animals. This animal can fly away.

Rice, millet, millet. These six valleys are eaten by people.

Horses, cattle and sheep, chickens and dogs. These six kinds of animals are fed by people.

When it comes to astronomy, geography, animals and plants, it is introduced to people in a detailed and orderly manner, and it is also mixed with human relations and social common sense such as "the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the stupidity of the scholars", and the style of writing is sloppy and lack of organization; Knowledge is complete, but the language lacks literary talent; There are many images, but the artistic conception is monotonous and even more boring. And the rhyme is not rigorous, such as: "three talents, heaven and earth, three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars." Three cardinal guides and five permanents, the monarch and the minister are righteous, the father and son are blind, and the couple are in harmony. "A few words don't rhyme. Look at the author's part about astronomy, geography, animals and plants:

The sky is gray and the ground is yellow. Gankun is big, and the sun and moon are long.

Bucket handle hangs down and the Milky Way is bright. There are more seasons and the years are getting old.

Clouds cause rain and condensation frost. The spring breeze is warm and the autumn dew is cool.

High mountains and vast oceans. Zebi waves are rippling and wild.

Dust blocks fog, xiaoxiang. Jiangnan is humid and Hebei is barren. ?

The Yellow River is around and the Yangtze River is long. Mount Qomolangma, Taiyue Ang.

Dragon Teng-hai, tiger Xiao-gang, beast walking, bird flying.

Bees collect honey and cicadas drink pulp. Pond carp, ridged sheep.

Forest timber, buildings and beams. Vegetables are green and fruits are fragrant.

Willow by the river, poplar by the road. Peach blossoms are gorgeous and plum blossoms are fragrant.

By comparison, the reader will be clear. Another example, extracted from the historical part of the old version of "Saint Amethyst":

Wei Shuwu, fighting for Ding Han and the Three Kingdoms, arrived in the Jin Dynasty.

Song Qiji and Liang in the Southern Dynasties were both in Jinling.

Northern Weiyuan, Dongxi, Yuwen Zhou, Gao Qi.

From the Sui Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, it was a dangerous place, which was no longer passed down and was out of control.

Tang Gaozu, an uprising department, established the country except the Sui rebellion.

Twenty stories, 300 years, when the beam was destroyed and the country changed.

There is a reason why Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou Dynasties are called the Five Dynasties.

Yan, Zhou Chan. Eighteen passes, mixed north and south.

……

Between Daoxian and xian county, there is chaos. At the beginning of Britain and France, the commotion was contemptible.

After the same light, Xuan Tong is weak. Pass on the nine emperors, and the Qing Dynasty will die.

The revolution was successful and the monarchy was abolished. Establish the Constitution and the Republic of China.

The whole thing is just a running account, crashing, what country has perished and what dynasty has risen again. Children have no beautiful pronunciation except remembering the names and order of dynasties. What can a child do except know a few words? Let's look at the author's corresponding historical part:

Wei Shuwu, Cao Liusun. There is chaos in fighting for the tripod.

Blood and fire, smoke and dust. Bones, broken pedestrians

Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The wind is rustling and it is raining.

Jinling Ferry, Weishui Bridge. Looking back, the country is far away.

The river runs and the water flows east. Sui dynasty, mixed in space.

Dig a canal to levy Korea. Unity is strength, and the whole world is boiling.

Xiongzai also, Wei Datang also. Jiujifang, Wan Li.

………………

Rain in America and Europe, wind in Wu Jia. A hundred officials are rotten, and ten rooms are empty.

The man was angry and bombarded. When the dragon flag falls, the emperor's name ends.

Hero's tears, strong man's gun. Sprinkle blood, sacrifice national mourning.

Swinging sickles and axes is unprecedented. Red flag roll, diffuse empty poplar.

After reading the above, is it a magnificent historical picture unfolding slowly in front of you? The generosity of the Chinese nation, the sorrow of the Chinese nation; The rise and fall of the Chinese nation, honor and disgrace, and the rise and fall of the Chinese nation are all among them. Reading is full of pride.

Although the accuracy of telling history is worse than that of the old edition, the author thinks that children of this age can only have a general understanding of history, and more importantly, the rhyme of circulation? Experience the beauty of language and writing between gorgeous rhetoric, accumulate vocabulary and know Chinese characters. ?
