After the "double subtraction", what books children should read, how to cultivate good reading habits, and how to read to gain something, these are all questions that parents and teachers will seriously consider for a long time. With the approaching winter vacation, a "2022 National Preschool and Primary and Secondary School Students Winter Vacation Reading Recommendation Bibliography by Grade" jointly initiated by front-line language teachers across the country and called "the annual children's reading vane" was officially released. From three months before the release of the book list, the 120 first-line masters responsible for book selection will begin to carefully read, repeatedly discuss and deliberate on each book. Every year during the holidays, the National 100 Classes and 1000 People Literacy Plan will also cooperate with the release of the bibliography to launch a reading carnival activity.

Throughout the development of children's reading in recent years, fairy tales, folk tales, etc. have long been not the main spiritual food for children, in addition to the popular popular science books, with the country's vigorous promotion of humanistic education, aesthetic education, etc., humanistic history, philosophical culture, art and music and other categories of books are increasingly occupying the mainstream of reading. This winter vacation bibliography also has such characteristics. Literary books are still the mainstream, but from the third grade onwards, each grade has taken into account the direction of humanities and popular science, and selected excellent books such as "I Am a Little Scientist: The Great Secret of Physics and Chemistry", "Exploring with Uncle Albert: Quantum Universe", "Using a Microscope to See Elephants" and other excellent books that expand popular science knowledge, as well as humanistic history books such as "The Silk Road Floats in a Hu Whirling Dance" and "The Old Suzhou Under the Pen of Famous Artists", especially the fifth grade of primary school directly takes "Enlightenment and Enlightenment" as the theme, which reflects the trend of children's reading trends.
