Popularizing textbooks in the Republic of China: where should education return?

Popular Textbooks of the Republic of China: Where Should Education Return?

Since the end of last year, Ye Shengtao's main work, Feng Zikai's illustrations, and the 1932 version of Ming Kai Mandarin textbook have been sold out, and parents and scholars have continued to be enthusiastic, causing heated discussion in the media. Now the publishing house follows suit and publishes textbooks for primary school students in the Republic of China. The upsurge of children's textbooks in the Republic of China reflected their anxiety and dissatisfaction with the current education in China, and implied helplessness, novelty and change.

Looking around, students' textbooks are not only becoming a tool for preaching, but also the authenticity of Edison's model essays such as Saving Mother has been questioned, and even the emperor's illustrations have become profiles of thousands of emperors. Needless to say, students' choice is a sigh of reality. Facing the popularity of textbooks for a century, what we can see and hear is not only the silence of China education.

Temperament of old textbooks: pure, interesting and concise.

Famous writer, pure interest.

Most textbooks in the Republic of China were written by famous writers. The content is pure and interesting, not deliberately exaggerated, but gently injects the essence of education into students' hearts, such as this article: the curved moon and the boat. This boat has two sharp points. Sitting on the boat, I only saw shining stars and blue sky. It has existed in Chinese textbooks for more than 50 years and is a childhood voice-over for generations. After reading it, it is still refreshing and fascinating.

Pay attention to moral education and be concise.

The first category is vocational education. Cats catch mice, dogs watch the door, people have no jobs, and cats and dogs are not as good as them. Although it is only 18, it shows the solemnity of life and helps children to establish a correct attitude towards life. Although most of the old textbooks in the Republic of China came from the people, they always put moral education in the first place, advocated the ethics of heaven, and were full of national character, which made people feel bright. Although the sentences in the book are simple and straightforward, they are full of nature and purity, and there is no metaphysics in reasoning.

Modern Chinese Textbooks for Primary Schools: Toxic Textbooks Similar to Melamine

The absence of classical facts: a utopian model of moral enlightenment.

When public opinion choked for the lack of works by classical writers such as Lu, Guo, Mao, Ba, Lao and Cao in middle school Chinese textbooks, who would have thought that our primary school Chinese textbooks really lacked fine works? , but the yuan dynasty * * * and a new self-cultivation textbook. To put it bluntly, it is a moral legend fabricated to avoid taboo. For example, visiting Chen Yi's mother is a serious violation of common sense in the history of science. There was no appendectomy in the young Edison era. Common sense mistakes made in primary school Chinese textbooks are actually based on idealized but absolutely rigid thinking. In other words, it is the moral specimen of the child. American education, as a model of enlightenment and guidance for children, is thought and behavior. Under this educational thought, great men and celebrities are regarded as blank models, so the moral materials or intelligence of other Americans are covered up, and then the educational function is strengthened by indoctrination.

The shape of a tall panoramic elephant is unrealistic: unhealthy and illogical.

Maternal love and the image of mother depicted in primary school textbooks are either bitter or morally perfect, and truly pure mothers can only be found in life. Mothers, such as Suzhou Education Edition, Twenty-four Filial Piety Education Edition, Edison Saving Mothers, Beijing Normal University Edition, Petal Fragrance, etc. Either in poor health or extremely depressed; Still too utilitarian. Another example is the children in front of the counters of the educational version of Mother, the toy of Aquilaria Resinatum and the diary of Beijing Normal University's mother's pure water. Their moral perfection is unreasonable and illogical. Ignoring children's dominant position, most of them often rudely interfere with children ruling the world with the will of adults. No wonder children say they are not human.

Adult education under abnormal conditions: mode constraints and moral fetters

Children in modern textbooks are basically unhappy children. They are either grown up, perverted, or grew up in fear, such as T.

China people's unsatisfactory modern teaching materials, teaching and students' ability are really big problems that must be faced squarely. However, there is a problem with Chinese education in primary schools today, which does not mean that there is no problem in the Republic of China. Today's problems in the United States should be solved in today's way and with today's ideas. No matter how good the textbooks of the Republic of China are, they are all old-fashioned things. They can be used as decorative graphics, but not as primary school Chinese textbooks. Just like melon seeds unearthed in Mawangdui, they can only be seen in museums, but not in roasted seeds and nuts shops. What's more, they can't eat it in their mouths.

Education should actively suit children, not choose children who are suitable for education.

Teacher Tao Xingzhi said: education is to teach people to change, to teach people to become better is good education, and to teach people to become worse is bad education; Living education teaches people to live, while dead education teaches people to die. Who is our education serving today? Is it for politics? For the economy and society? Or serve the development of mankind? Our basic education is mainly for further study. Under the system education, many students who fail to meet the standards feel inferior, lost, self-righteous and give up on themselves. As a result, Edison, wallach and Einstein were buried and killed. Learning and perfecting personality is a noble cause, and cultivating harmonious talents is the real purpose of education, not tool children produced by factory assembly lines in reality.

Basic education: innovation is better than returning to common sense.

Don't always think about innovation. Only by reversing the situation of counter-common sense and returning education to common sense is the greatest innovation. This is not only a question of Chinese textbooks, but also a question of educational system and direction. The direction is wrong, the harder you work, the more foolhardy you are, the more innovative you are, and the farther you are from your goal! Especially basic education. Education itself is life, the way of life and the way of action. Although education is a means to promote a better life, it should be an end in itself. All people involved in education should live a happy and complete life.
