Early in the morning, I went to the park to play, as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a fragrance. I rushed to the lotus pond.

The lotus has already bloomed a lot. The lotus leaves were crowded one by one, like a big turquoise disk. White lotus blossoms sprouted up between these large disks

. Some of them only have two or three petals. Some of the petals have all unfolded, revealing small yellow rosettes. Some are still

flowerbones, looking so full they are about to burst.

So many white lotus flowers, one has a posture. Look at this one, it's beautiful; look at that one, it's beautiful too.

If you look at the pool of lotus flowers in front of you as a large living painting, then the painter's skill is really marvelous.

I suddenly felt as if I were a lotus flower, wearing a snow-white dress, standing in the sunshine. When a breeze blew, I

danced, my snow-white dress fluttering in the wind. I was not the only one, but all the lotus flowers in the pool were dancing. When the wind passed, I stopped dancing and

stood there quietly. Dragonflies fly over and tell me the joy of early morning flight. Small fish swam under my feet, telling me of the good

dreams I had last night

After a while, I remembered that I was not a lotus flower.

Poem material

Ye Shengtao

Early this morning into the park, smelled a fragrance, and ran to the lotus pond. The lotus had already bloomed quite a bit. The lotus leaves were crowded one by one, like a big disk, with a turquoise face and a light green bottom. White lotus flowers emerge between these large discs. Some only unfolded two or three petals. Some of the petals have all unfolded, revealing a small yellow lotus seedpod. Some are still blooming, looking so full they're about to burst.

There are so many white lotus flowers, is there any pose exactly the same? No, one has a posture. Look at this one, it's beautiful, look at that one, it's also beautiful, you can draw life drawing. Next door to my house, the Zhang family hangs four paintings of Mr. Qi Baishi, all lotus, ink brush painting. I counted, four total **** painted fifteen, dozens of different, dozens of good-looking, if the pool of lotus leaves and flowers in front of me as a large living painting, that the painter's skills than the old Mr. Qi Baishi bigger. That painter is who it ......

I suddenly felt as if I was a lotus flower. A snow-white dress, permeated with fresh fragrance. The sun shone down on me, and I unclothed myself and opened my chest, soothingly. When the wind blew, I danced in the wind, my snow-white dress fluttering with the wind. Not only me, a pool of lotus flowers are dancing, this is not like the movie "Swan Lake" in the scene of many swans dancing together? After the wind, I stopped dancing and stood there quietly. Dragonflies fly over and tell me the joy of early morning flight. The small fish swam underneath and told me about the good dreams I had last night ......

Zhou Xing, Li Ping, and the others called out to me from the other side of the pool, and I remembered that I was me, and that I was not a lotus flower.

Suddenly I felt as if I was something else, and this has happened before. One morning at school, I was looking at the petunias, all of which were the size of rice bowls, and the purple color was so vivid that it looked even better with a white border. I was so mesmerized that I felt as if I were a petunia, looking up towards the lovely sunshine with a round smile. Another time, in the park to see the goldfish, watching out of focus, feel as if I was a goldfish. Pectoral fins like a small fan, gently fan, big tail is softer than silk, slowly swinging. There wasn't a sound in the water, it was so quiet, so still ......

I felt that this situation was the material for a poem, and that it could be used to make a poem. Poetry, I'm going to try - and think about it, of course.

In 1930, he moved to the Kai Ming Bookstore, where he organized the magazine Middle School Student, which was the most popular reading material for young students in the 1930s and 1940s, and had a wide influence in society. His former residence is at No. 71, Dongsi Bajie, Dongcheng District.

Due to financial difficulties and disagreements among the editors, Axiom Daily eventually ceased publication 22 days after its founding. Ye Shengtao never stopped tracking down the truth. During the War of Resistance Against Japan (1937-1945), he took part in the struggle against the national government and fought for freedom of the press in a democratic country.

]Ye Shengtao and the Writing of Official Documents

On June 20, 1983 Ye Lao wrote a special article entitled "All of us should pay attention to improving the quality of official documents," in which he raised the question of how to improve the quality of applied writing. Ye old man asked us to keep in mind one sentence: "people understand your policy, specific methods and so on depending on the written language you write on the official documents, so the written language sloppy". Ye very much emphasized: writing must be "clear and fluent", that is, "must be expressed to think clearly. Not clear, even if the article we can not do clear and smooth. Think clearly, the organization of the document is naturally the meaning of the organizational structure itself, as written down, in order to achieve a coherent and rational. Such an official document can make people understand without compromise." Secondly, Mr. Ye believes that one should also put some effort into grammar, rhetoric and logic. "Not only read some books, but especially pay attention to it in practice." What Ye means by this is that we should be good at translating the knowledge taught in books into our own practice, and be able to apply it skillfully in speaking and writing.

In addition to this, Mr. Ye believed that to improve the quality of writing, "we must make the words stop and stop, end to end, and take them out in order to be considered as an expression of my opinion." Therefore, we in the writing "should be careful to do the best, so that can not change a word, never go out and do not recognize the goods."

Writing about the style of writing, Ye has repeatedly discussed. Such as 1956, "against the new eight shares, the formation of a new style of writing"; 1958, "where is the problem of style", "how to improve the style of writing"; 1959, "to write easy to listen to"; 1961, "to improve the word style"; 1979, "correct the style of writing" and so on. Ye Lao believes that: "the style of writing is style, but also the ideological style", "correct the style of writing is everyone's business", "I say everyone, not limited to journalists, writers, who write some books, write some manuscripts, and even write a letter, write a note, are included. note, are included. The literary style is the wind, the wind is blowing around, each other's influence, so the only way to blow an upright good wind, in order to promote each other, *** with the improvement.

How to improve the style of writing? First of all, Ye opposes falsehoods, empty words, including now there is the influence of the party eight shares, foreign eight shares. "Saying falsehoods is words without meaning, saying empty words is words without substance," and "in saying falsehoods and saying empty words on these two points, the spirit of the 'party eight shares, foreign eight shares' is similar." Secondly, Ye also emphasized the word style. Because the writing, especially application writing, must pay special attention to the "heart to the public". Ye strongly appealed to "write a letter for the sake of the recipient, what draft to discuss the draft for the sake of the people; write a manuscript ready to print and row for the sake of the typist typesetting workers". Once again, Ye repeatedly emphasized the improvement of writing style, should strive to enrich themselves, including ideological understanding and expression skills, and should strive to make the article with correctness, distinctiveness and vividness. (Excerpted from "Ye Shengtao on Applied Writing," Applied Writing, No. 4, 1989)

[Editorial] Education and Journalism Philosophy

"Teaching is for the sake of not teaching"

Ye Shengtao has had an important influence on the improvement of modern Chinese language education. He introduced a whole new concept to Chinese language education, "Students should be taught how to learn, rather than a long and detailed indoctrination of book knowledge." This idea broke through the traditional concepts of language teaching that were used to relying strongly on memorization and indoctrination. In addition, Ye Shengtao promoted the deepening of critical thinking and made people realize the importance of personal value judgments. He believed that these learning skills should be used to construct a foundation for students and would also serve as a starting point for lifelong learning.

Literature for Life

In his reflections on real life, Ye Shengtao wrote movingly:

"As far as I can remember, it seems that I have never written about knowledge of which I was somewhat vague or not quite sure. In other words, I can't write about things that come to me only through imagination, but I haven't lost my imagination either. I live in cities, towns and villages, and I write about what I observe in those places. As a teacher, I know something of life in educational circles, and I record it. On some fairly basic and superficial levels, I follow the gradual development of the Chinese revolution, and at the same time, I record those things."

--CT Hsia, A History of Modern Chinese Fiction, quoted on page 59.

Most of his journalism was inspired by people's lives. He believed that literature was not only for pleasure, but also as a tool to reflect life and inspire readers to think about reality. He feels an obligation to let readers know what is really happening around them. This is why he wanted to link literature and journalism. He believes that literature should also be used to awaken the youth's concern and sensitivity towards the society. This idea is as fundamental as the journalists' principle of telling the truth. Ye Shengtao also made journalism his life's work.

Ease of reading

Ease of reading is a distinctive feature in Ye Shengtao's works. It means that the reader perceives and understands the content more efficiently. As a journalist, Ye Shengtao emphasized the use of words in his works. This is probably because he had been a teacher for more than 10 years before he became an editor. He believed that articles were made for readers, and at the same time he regarded them as a tool for communication between readers and writers. A huge problem faced by authors at that time was that they were not literate in excellent writing skills. Their expressions were inaccurate and vague in meaning. Only well-educated people could appreciate their writings. The authors did not pay attention to the importance of practicality. As a result, literary works are difficult to be accepted by the general public. Ye Shengtao believes that only when a person writes an article in a practical and easy-to-understand way can he go on to write only elegant works. If the reader does not understand the content of the article, the article is useless.

[edit]Contributions to Literature

Realism: The Mirror of Life

Realism is the most distinctive feature of Ye Shengtao. Ye Shengtao is one of the pioneers of realist writing. His works are like a mirror reflecting the dark side of society and human nature.

Because he was an educator, in Ye Shengtao's works, he recounted many intellectuals, many of whom were exploited, people at the bottom of the society who were incapable of resistance. Ye Shengtao consistently reflected truth and reality in his works. He expressed his democratic and socialist ideas in his novels such as Fire, Below the Line and Scarecrow. These essays focused on the agonizing lives of the people at the bottom of the society. His widely acclaimed novel Ni Huanzhi chronicles the sad life of an intellectual.

Ye Shengtao found many people in the new China to be selfish, apathetic, hypocritical and conservative. People gave up the value of their lives for a secure life. Ye Shengtao satirized these people in his works. He expressed his dissatisfaction and hoped to awaken people's awareness and face up to these persistent social problems. Ye Shengtao not only wrote stories, but also reported the fallacies of society. His works are not used for amusement, but to even fill people's spare time with cognition and thoughts about reality. "...... The basis of writing is a pair of insightful and observant eyes, while my eyes do not possess much insight ...... Of course, there is no need to train while one's eyes for the purpose of writing, for the training of the eyes that is to gain insight into reality and enrich life. "(From - Ye Shengtao, "Past Essays" 46)

Children's Literature: Cultivating Young Minds

Ye Shengtao's first scholarly paper on children's literature, entitled "The Idea of the Child," criticized the bad influences on Chinese children.

In fact, Ye Shengtao was the first author to write fairy tales in the 1920s. His work "The Scarecrow" was published in 1923. This children's book was extremely popular among many youngsters. Another work, The Stone Statue of an Ancient Hero, tells the story of a stone that is carved into the image of a hero. The moral behind this simple, easy-to-read story is to mock the arrogance of experts and the numbness of people.

Ding Ling, a student of Ye Shengtao, once praised his fairy tales for inspiring people to think more about society. Ye Shengtao's fairy tales are simple, but possess a profound connotation. He believed that children possessed personal views of their surroundings, so their critical skills should be enhanced. Through Ye Shengtao's stories, children can gradually gain a clear understanding of the relationship between this society and them.

Language and Rhetoric

Ye Shengtao's language is concise and touching, and he is known for his ability to express himself in appropriate terms. Ye Shengtao emphasized feeling and emotion in his reports. Characters are distinct and lively in Ye Shengtao's writing, and he has a deep insight into their inner world. Renowned author Zhao Jing Shen praised Ye Shengtao as an anomaly in the writing world, possessing outstanding and amazing talents. His beautiful writings have survived in the world in a lasting and rhythmic way. The emotions and feelings he expressed constructed the foundation of truth and reality, and filled his writings with infinite power. "Emotions are like the flickering light of a lamp, but the account is remarkable because of that light," Ye Shengtao said. This conversation shows to some extent that Ye Shengtao was not only a good storyteller, but also an artist.

Injecting foreign language elements

Ye Shengtao's realistic form of writing has been emulated by many writers. He admits that reading some Western novelists helped him write, "If I hadn't read English, if I hadn't been exposed to English readings, I wouldn't have been able to write novels . " His work is reflective and discursive. These do not know rely on perception, but also on practical and objective observation. Ye Shengtao was not only a writer but also a journalist. The observation of reality became the source of his writing, and he it created a new world for modern Chinese literature.

The scenery and situation in the field during the daytime, some poets write it into wonderful poems, and some painters paint it into vivid pictures. At night, the poets are a little drunk with wine, and the painters are holding their delicate instruments and singing low: neither of them has any work to do in the fields. Who else, then, tells the people of the landscape and the situation in the fields at night? There is, and there is, the scarecrow.

Generation master Ye Shengtao

Comrade Ye Shengtao has been hailed as a generation master in the history of China's modern language education, and deservedly so.

The reason why Ye Shengtao can have such a significant contribution to China's language education sector, obviously there are both objective and subjective reasons.

Objectively, it was the times that made him. He lived in the early part of the last feudal dynasty in China, the evils of feudal education have a keen sense; in the middle of the May Fourth New Culture Movement and the following decades of political, economic, cultural and other aspects of the uncertainty of the wind and clouds; and finally into the construction of the socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization of the history of the new period. Therefore, Ye Shengtao had a deep understanding and insight into traditional, emerging, and foreign political science, philosophy, history, literature, linguistics, pedagogy, and so on. In addition, during the past half century, a large number of pioneers of the times and pioneers in certain academic fields have emerged in China's educational and academic circles. Many of them were Ye Shengtao's like-minded partners and close friends over the decades, such as Wu Binruo and Wang Boxiang in the period of Jiaozhi Five High Schools, Shu Xincheng, Zhu Ziqing, Zhou Yutong and Liu Yanling in the period of Wusong Chinese Public School, and Xiaoxiao, Chen Wangdao, Feng Zikai as well as Gu Jiegang and Guo Shaoyu in the period of Zhejiang Division I. Ye Shengtao's career has been recognized by the Chinese government as one of the most important achievements in the field of education and academics in China. The success of Ye Shengtao's career at that time was inseparable from the support and cooperation of such talented figures in the language, education, and publishing fields.

Of course, the most fundamental reason for Ye Shengtao's outstanding achievements and great contributions is that he himself has many subjective conditions that are sufficient to make him become a great master of the field of study that will influence several generations, that is, his outstanding character.

First, Ye Shengtao has a particularly deep affection for cultivating and educating the new generation of the motherland.

Ye Shengtao almost devoted his whole life to considering and planning things related to educating young people, so much so that a history of modern Chinese education can hardly be separated from Ye Shengtao's career. He was a down-to-earth doer in the educational endeavors of his country. Wanting to compile an ideal elementary school Chinese textbook, he took it upon himself to write it. As a famous writer at that time, he was able to write a complete set of language textbooks for children and young people with his own pen. Could he have done it if he didn't have a high sense of responsibility and a deep love for educating the next generation? In the 1930s and 1940s in old China, political corruption and reactionary, the current situation is turbulent, many publications are due to political or economic reasons, just published soon, they were forced to stop. Ye Shengtao is in such a difficult environment, took over the editor-in-chief of the magazine "secondary school students", painstakingly, but insisted on more than 10 years. In the second year as editor-in-chief, "one-twenty-eight" war broke out, Ye Shengtao "heard the sound of the enemy's planes and heavy artillery, and was filled with indignation"; ten days later, he returned to his apartment, "then the front wall collapsed: the building's three floors, the eaves of the windows like cutting The building's three floors, windows like chipped eaves, dust ruined and fallen, broken boards across ...... the enemy in the interior artifacts, in its intention to seize and go, or else hand damage, slightly disregard". In this country is broken and destroyed, worry like burning days, Ye Shengtao did not take the family as the idea, still tough to defend in the "secondary school students" this piece of feeding the children of China's editorial position, and with their own and their companions sincere heart, to the young people to propaganda anti-Japanese, to stimulate the young people's patriotic fervor (quoted from the Pang Jiajin "Ye Shengtao and editorial work"). When the overall war of resistance began, Ye Shengtao moved to the rear, and at the difficult moment of national affairs, he still did not forget to cultivate and educate the future generations of the motherland. First with Mao Dun and other co-editors of the Young Pioneers, and later overcame the difficulties of editing and publishing the "wartime semimonthly magazine for secondary school students", really for the children's growth and blood, fully reflecting his deep love for the cause of education in the motherland.

Nice, Ye Shengtao is a famous writer, but his creations are often based on the life of the school and the teacher as the subject matter; also often for the students to read outside the classroom and the need to create. The former, such as the famous long Ni Huanzhi and the short story A Manifesto, Mr. Pan in Difficulty. Ni Huanzhi was first published in the "Educational Literature and Art" column of Education Magazine, a major periodical at the time, and made its debut in the literary world as an educational novel. The latter, such as the famous fairy tale "The Scarecrow" and "The Stone Statue of the Ancient Hero", were written by him. Therefore, it can be said that in many of Ye Shengtao's novels, essays and fairy tales, beats the burning heart of an educator.

Now, Ye has been ninety years old, but also very concerned about the development of education in the four construction, very concerned about the reform of language education and teaching. Since January 1980, in the "Wen Wei Po" "education garden" column serialized 13 "clear window essays", is in the "reading glasses and magnifying glass and newspapers, or unclear" written out of the situation, each piece of cohesion with a piece of the old Ye's love and affection.

Secondly, Ye Shengtao has a profound knowledge base and multifaceted cultural literacy.

The language subject is a highly integrated subject, the accurate grasp of its laws is never an easy thing, it requires a solid knowledge base and a high degree of cultural literacy. Ye Shengtao has a special character in learning and literacy. He himself was both an outstanding instructor and a highly skillful editor; he was both a writer of great fame and a senior in the field of linguistics. As an instructor, he has been engaged in language teaching in elementary school, secondary schools, universities, and teacher training schools at all levels and in all kinds of schools, and is thus familiar with some of the rules of learning and mastering language tools for the general public from childhood onwards, and understands the differences and connections between the contents and methods of language teaching in various academic periods, and has a more comprehensive and profound experience of the whole process of language teaching.
