Out of personal hobbies and family education, the author also bought three different versions of Chinese textbooks for primary schools in the Republic of China through the Internet. After careful study, the description of sensory education scholar Wang Li is roughly the same. The charm of old textbooks in the Republic of China lies in freshness and naturalness, which is embodied in paper, binding, material selection, painting and reasoning. Every article and illustration emphasizes heartfelt feelings, and there is no trace of deliberate preaching, which is extremely rare. The traditional moral education of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness is realized in humorous, fresh and warm stories without any hostility or struggle. This is especially beneficial to the cultivation of students' modesty and gentleness.
Another feature that impressed me deeply about the old textbooks of the Republic of China was their practicality. Whether it is the content of self-cultivation in textbooks, the introduction of some common sense of daily life, or the inspiration to students' thoughts, there is a natural atmosphere of "joining the WTO", but the mainstream ideology of society is not felt, which is basically the basic common sense of traditional agriculture and commercial society. The great truth is rare, and the atmosphere of great discourse is even more difficult to meet. It is a description of the real form of life from beginning to end, which is friendly to read and more credible to accept.
As educational experts have realized, through such a text, we can see the lively and colorful campus life of that era, the children who grew up on such a campus, their minds, and their ability to step into society in the future. And a person's mind and ability to go to society in the future are the basis for us to let our children study. On the other hand, in the current textbooks for primary and secondary schools, the traditional moral rigid preaching and various seemingly prosperous classroom atmosphere are still preaching. The author can only envy the children of that era. They learned a set of textbooks that are in line with their own minds at a naive age, without too many "external forces" factors, which purified their hearts and opened their minds. The mind is thus cultivated, just as the third article of the textbook "The purpose of editing this book" says: "This book tries to accommodate all kinds of styles needed by children's literature and daily life. Try to use the right words, try to make accurate sentences, and match the service period with standard language. This is a model for children to speak and write. "
Appreciating the "model of the Republic of China" is behind the respect and desire for traditional cultural etiquette, while remembering and appreciating the old textbooks of the Republic of China is an unsatisfactory statement of some aspects of Chinese teaching in primary schools. How to combine the characteristics of modern citizens with traditional culture perfectly and concentrate them in a set of teaching materials to influence children is a difficult problem for the education department, but it is also a responsibility.
