The beauty of the goddess Helen alone can actually trigger a decade-long war; The victory at the turning point of the war was actually related to a huge Trojan horse.
The story is endless, love and hate are endless, and it goes on and on. Man-eating monsters and six-headed sirens are constantly emerging.
The ancient Greek hero Odysseus is like a "Trojan universe". Every protagonist, as well as his own heroic deeds, has gone through a long ordeal, just like an anecdote of a single IP story.
Really study it, including human nature analysis, psychological research, cultural phenomena, historical legends, geopolitics, everything?
Love and hate in the Trojan universe also follow the basic routine and typical framework of western mythology and connect the essence of Greek legends in series.
How to tell children these stories that are easy to be "unsuitable for children"?
Exploring Troy, published by CITIC Publishing House, is a series of children's history picture books in the British Museum, as well as Discovering Ancient Egypt, Children's History Picture Books in the British Museum: Crossing Ancient Egypt to Find Tom, and Crossing Ancient Rome to Find Tom.
Looking at this familiar story from another angle can also give us many different feelings.
In fact, the time for parents to study together is not necessarily the sacrifice of parents. More often, children's children's words are unscrupulous, the road is simple, and the simplest view of right and wrong can often remind us adults that some basic but neglected truths and some instincts have been solved, so there is no need to care about them.
1. From the observation:
Starting with obvious problems, let children learn to observe and think from the perspective of a blank sheet of paper.
You can even get rid of books and start with the most basic contents, including Chinese characters, numbers, color cognition, graphic connection, maze, and finding differences ... Try to attract children's attention first and accept the subtle growth brought by books in play.
2. I believe that children can already understand more profound content than appearance.
Exploring Troy is a children's book, which weakens the complexity of the story itself and ignores the ethics, but it still retains some links worthy of children's in-depth thinking.
Parents can also skillfully use skills to interact with the design logic of other children's books and picture books in a divergent way:
You can cultivate a valuable spirit from an unconscious childhood-
Learn to ask questions, you can question them, and maybe you will be more brave to overthrow the obvious stereotype of conformity in the future.
In Exploring Troy, there are rich and vivid pictures. Using the photos of the exhibits in the British Museum, children can see vivid history from the real things and start their journey of exploring Troy.
Specially equipped with stickers and blank background paper, after the story is over, the children will play by themselves and put together the city and the story in their hearts.
Why is every child full of irresistible enthusiasm for graffiti, even with stickers?
It is precisely because of the most primitive and simple creation, such as painting, color and stickers, that most people are enlightened to stimulate their imagination.
We never know how to write, and we never know the world. When we are not sensible, we begin to feel the colorful world, and then use a small brush to create.
Brushes magically expand the world that children have just begun. In the fantasy world, they get happiness, learn to grow and keep creating.
The ability to put it into practice makes everything beautiful and real.
When I was a child, my mother also accompanied me to draw, cut paper and paste. Although we have no formal education, we are equally wonderful and enjoy it.
Children won't worry about it. What if they don't draw well? As long as you have time to paint, it is enough to enjoy it.
On the contrary, the older you grow up, the more you will be restricted by invisible rules and regulations, and the more you care about the affirmation and evaluation of the outside world. So, you forget to imagine a wider world and infinite possibilities, and forget that creation is a thing that makes you happy. It doesn't need to be particularly complicated, and it can be completely irrelevant to other people's affairs.
Therefore, occasionally returning to picture books and delicate feelings can make you more fairy-tale truth, goodness and beauty and more simple happiness.
Close the picture book, the bad mood will be swept away, and you will find that you have lost a lot of good things in your anxious and fast-paced life.
Exploring Troy seems to have little content, but the creative ideas behind it are no less than adult books.
Learning is an anti-human and anti-inertia operation, and adults will be tired, not to mention immature and playful children.
In the process of concentrating on playing, children tend to forget everything, which is our instinctive "unintentional attention", immersed in the world of books and caught in a flow experience, which belongs to the "intentional attention" we deliberately cultivate.
Whether the latter can be well regulated is very important for children's learning and self-control.
An excellent children's book picture book should not stick to the rigid correction, but should conform to the guidance and strive to be simple and easy to understand. It will not embarrass parents, but also consciously improve children's concentration, imagination, thinking and creativity. It can develop in an all-round way in humanities, art, science and other fields, and sensibility and rationality coexist.
This is also the embodiment of "liberal arts education" that top universities pay attention to when cultivating higher talents:
On the basis of cultivating "professional talents" and taking into account the direction of "erudition", only a few people can achieve "all-rounder" in the end; But most people have a relatively complete basic knowledge system, and there will be no extreme knowledge gap.
Perhaps future archaeologists, historians, scientists and artists will plant a seed about Troy among children inspired by picture books.
Why am I an adult, unmarried and childless, and often recommend high-quality children's books, so I am moved by picture books?
Because it once made me realize the value of imagination-I can observe and look at people and things around me from another angle day after day, and I am full of expectations for the future.
Moreover, it can make up for the deficiency of one's own knowledge system and make up a lesson that one should have when he was a child in the simplest and most intuitive way.
