On September 26th, Qin Chunhua, president of Peking University Examinations and Research Institute, issued a document saying that the four classic novels are not suitable for children to read. Perhaps, many people don't quite agree with his point of view, but it is limited to private discussion. Senior three students of Zhengzhou Foreign Language School stood up and openly challenged. He thinks that all children in Four Great Classical Novels can read it, which in reality is even more vulgar than the negative content in Four Great Classical Novels. His article was published in yesterday's China Youth Daily, with clear thinking and well-founded, which attracted many netizens' praise. On September 26th, China Youth Daily published an article "Are the Four Classic Novels Suitable for Children? The writer is Qin Chunhua, president of Peking University Examinations and Research Institute. He thinks Four Great Classical Novels is not suitable for children to read. There are two main reasons for this. The first point is that there are some negative contents in the four classic novels, which are not suitable for children. For example, the Water Margin is full of fighting and killing, and there is some bloody violence. The interpretation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is full of intrigue, intrigue and intrigue, and The Journey to the West contains a strong Buddhist color. A Dream of Red Mansions is full of romance and love and is not suitable for children to read. His second reason is that most of the characters in the four classic novels are half-written and half-white, which makes it difficult for children to read. Qin Chunhua's point of view triggered a great discussion about reading four classic novels. 65438+ 10 65438+July, Senior Three student Gao of Zhengzhou Foreign Languages School published an article in China Youth Daily, openly questioning the scholars of Peking University. In response to the negative content, Gao said that the technique of larceny is very popular now, and pornographic advertisements and programs are common. Compared with the negative content in the four classic novels, the splash screen of violent games is more vulgar in reality. Gao believes that it is impossible to set up various rules and regulations to restrict students' free reading. He called for more rights and space for children to choose independently, so that children can decide what kind of books to read independently, instead of so-called appropriate reading, and so-called inappropriate reading is prohibited. Gao publicly questioned Peking University scholars, and the articles were clear and well-founded, which attracted many netizens' praise. I didn't expect to be able to express my thoughts. I just want to exercise my critical thinking ability. Yesterday, Henan Business Daily reporter met Gao in Zhengzhou Foreign Language School. I wrote this article to exercise my critical thinking ability. Gao said that writing a composition at ordinary times also has the problem of exercising critical thinking ability. Seeing an idea will judge whether it is reasonable, what are its advantages and disadvantages, and what are the loopholes in its thinking and logic. Therefore, when Gao saw the article, his first impression was that he wrote it from the standpoint of a parent, and his views were irrefutable. Besides, the four classic novels have been read more than once. Seeing this topic and feeling that I have something to say, I moved my mind to write an article. Gao showed reporters one of his notebooks, which was densely filled with class notes, mood essays and some sentiment articles. He retorted that Qin Chunhua's articles were also written in this notebook. When writing this article, I didn't expect it to be published in the newspaper. I just want to make a contribution. Gao said that the result was beyond his expectation. When I was eight or nine years old, I didn't feel bad in Journey to the West. When I was a child, Gao didn't have enough ability to identify books. He relied on his parents and teachers to recommend books, and then read a lot, which enriched the first soil for high learning. In primary school, Gao began to read the works of writers such as Yang, Cao Wenxuan and Zheng, and read many fairy tales in primary school. Later, I read Red and Black, The Count of Monte Cristo, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling, and Lin Qingxuan's Essays. Gao first came into contact with Four Great Classical Novels at the age of eight or nine. The first thing I read was The Journey to the West, especially the image of Pig Bajie in the book, which often made me laugh. I think reading The Journey to the West is very interesting. Gao recalled: On the topic of children reading Four Great Classical Novels, Gao pointed out that he did not agree with a teacher's view that Four Great Classical Novels was not suitable for children, but according to his personal reading experience, children aged eight or nine could read Four Great Classical Novels. From my personal reading experience, the four classic novels have a positive influence on my growth so far. For example, I saw Journey to the West for the first time, but it was fun. As for the deeper meaning, I didn't understand it at that time, and there was no adverse effect. Gao said that children and adults have different perspectives. Views Children can read Four Great Classical Novels as long as they are willing to read and understand, and they can read as long as they are interested and willing to read. Cui Kuangshan, a Chinese teacher at the provincial experimental middle school, said that we should not give up eating because of choking. In Cui Kuang's view, The Water Margin also has a fearless side, and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not all intrigue, and strategy is also a kind of wisdom. There are three unique characters in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Zhuge Liang, the wise Guan Yu, and the treacherous Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao is treacherous, he is still a character. The Journey to the West's Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin are required for the senior high school entrance examination, but they can still be read according to children's understanding. Cui Kuang believes that it is also a lack and regret in education to prevent children from reading when they can read and accept. My son first came into contact with Journey to the West. Elementary school began to read illustrated books, and junior high school began to read the original journey to the west. Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Outlaws of the Marsh were also read in junior high school, while Dream of Red Mansions was read in senior high school. Cui Kuang said that children in Four Great Classical Novels can read as long as they are willing to read and can understand. There is nothing to see in the four classic novels, mainly depending on children's interests. The most important thing is not to be too utilitarian in reading. For children, it is a story. Li Jianguo, a student's parent, said that parents and children get different feelings from different perspectives. Adults see evil, while children may only see courage and justice.
