Reasons for being selected as a textbook

Folk stories are cultural treasures created by working people in past dynasties and an important way for students to understand traditional culture. The first volume of the fifth grade Chinese textbook arranges folk story units.

In order to cooperate with the study of this unit, the textbook recommends classic China folk stories and European and African folk stories in the column of "Happy Reading", so as to broaden students' reading horizons and guide them to understand multiculturalism.

In African folk literature, music is an important title that cannot be ignored. It is a long African heroic epic, praising the heroic deeds of Soundiata, the founder of Mali Empire in West Africa in the 3rd century/kloc-0.

However, after careful study, the textbook writing team found that the epic content is complex and some plots are not suitable for primary school students to read. Under the auspices of Cao Wenxuan and Chen Xianyun, the editors of the textbook, the writing team rewrote the essence of the epic into a folk story suitable for students to read, with exquisite illustrations and necessary reading guidance, providing high-quality teaching supporting resources for teachers and students.
