The New Year is approaching, no matter how you live in 2021, the footsteps of 2022 are close every day, approaching the Spring Festival, the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and the folk stories about the Spring Festival should tell the children a wave!
Cover of "Year of the Beast Kingdom" and "Fox Fairy Country"
Today to give you Amway is focused on the "Oriental Culture Children's Education" Chinese original picture book Fox Family, in 2022 before the Spring Festival of the latest published "Oriental Culture Totem Series" "Nian Beast Country" and "Fox Immortal Country" these two picture books - these are two completely subvert my ancient legend of the ferocious Nian Beast and the charming fox fairy cognition, cute and lovely picture books, in this Spring Festival to tell children these two folk story picture books, simply do not be too suitable!
"The Year of the Beast Kingdom"
The monster of "Nian", in traditional Chinese folk tales, is extremely frightening. They will come to the human world in the Chinese New Year's Eve to wreak havoc, posting red Spring Festival Leagues in every household, hanging red lanterns, and setting off firecrackers to drive away the Nian beasts with fire and loud noises.

In "Nian Beast Kingdom", the beginning is the legend of nian beast in the traditional folk tale, and then a question is raised, since everyone knows the legend of nian beast, why can we find the record of dragons and phoenixes and even fox immortals through ancient books but can't find a little record of nian beast? Nian Beast, where is it hidden?
I like the beginning of such a story, which is reasonable and well-founded, starting from a normalized story and guiding children to think about problems with deeper logic.
Someone once saw a delicate and magical island on the seashore, and legend has it that it is the home of the Nian Beast, the Nian Beast Country.
In the Beast Kingdom, there is a scene similar to that of us humans:
The forest of undersea steles is to record history; the crystal forest is the resting place of the ancestors; the market and the human market function the same; the hidden fire building is the sacred place of the Nian Beast Country, and the roof of the tower is lit with a lamp all year round; the Nian Beast in the medical hall is the most popular acupuncture; the Nian Beast Academy is the place where the young Nian Beasts learn knowledge; the mountains are full of colorful ore that the Nian Beasts decorate their houses...
Nian Beast is an oviparous animal, look at this cute look, where is the legendary ferocity and horror?
The little nian beast is also born in the expectation of parents and mothers, and will also have the same grasping ritual as human babies, judging that male and female nian beasts are based on the direction of the lines on their horns, eyebrows, claws, flippers, tails...
This introduction to the knowledge of the baby beast, like the popular science picture books we often read, can be cute and love the painting style, can cute and love the explanation, this year the beast painting style is not ordinary!
The timid Nian Beast is afraid of thunder – so the sound of humans firing firecrackers is really terrifying for the Nian Beast.
The nian beast with excellent eyesight is very sensitive to red, and when it sees red, it is like being drunk and dizzy - so the Spring Festival posting red Spring League is also effective in driving away the Nian beast.
Once a Nian Beast Warrior accidentally hit and bumped into the human world, he was amazed by the wisdom of human beings with fire, so he risked his life to steal the human fire back to the Nian Beast Country, since then, every year the Nian Beast Warriors need to go to the human world to retrieve the new fire to continue the life of the fire, and the passage from the Nian Beast Kingdom to the human world is exactly opened every year Chinese New Year's Eve...
The Fox Family's "Nian Beast Country" is the warmest one in the picture book story about nian beast that I have read, like a popular science encyclopedia, but full of warmth and inspiration.
Year after year, the Nian Beast Warriors learned a lot of human wisdom from the human world, and the Nian Beast Kingdom became more and more like the human world, and they also held a "Fire Ceremony" festival for fire.
This is very warm, describing to the children a warm and brave Nian Beast, in order to bring a better life to the tribesmen, so year after year the Beast Warriors endured the human drive to bravely go to the human world in the Chinese New Year's Eve - and such a sacrifice could have been avoided, if every human watched this "Nian Beast Kingdom", it must be able to greet the arrival of the Nian Beast Warrior in another way Chinese New Year's Eve...
I like this kind of picture book, using another perspective to explain the legends and stories, giving children a completely different cognitive world, so that children can think that there may be many other perspectives in life that are not known to us.
Fox Fairy Kingdom
Similar to "Nian Beast Country", "Fox Immortal Country" is also a fox fairy encyclopedia picture book full of warmth.
The legendary fox fairy is a goblin, a goblin who specializes in teasing students in "Liaozhai Zhiyi".
In "Fox Immortal Kingdom", in a place called Qingqiu is the Fox Immortal Kingdom - this can't help but remind me of "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"!
Where is Qingqiu?
"There is an old book that is too old to read clearly, and it is written..."
Hahaha, this tone! It's so cute!
The fox immortals of Qingqiu have three forms: ordinary fox forms, humanoid forms that have learned humans, and freely changing forms after successful cultivation.
Fox tails have multiple functions, and the little foxes like to hide in the long and thick nine tails of Grandpa Fox fairy in winter to listen to stories.
Once upon a time, fox fairies often wandered in the human world, imitating human habits, and even their home in Qingqiu was like a human home.
The Fox Immortal Kingdom also has an academy, where the little foxes learn to cultivate the fox immortals, and the adult fox immortals also learn various spells and life skills here. There are also exams in the Fox Immortal Academy, and you have to pass eighty-one tests to be qualified.
The most important festival in the fox fairy country is the annual moon worship festival, on this night, the fox fairy carrying lanterns out of the cave to worship the moon by the ancient tree to miss the deceased relatives.
There are many stories of fox fairies circulating in the human world, I like the fox fairy stories told in "Fox Fairy Country" that we are familiar with, and I also like that the stories told at the end of the story are unconsciously passed on to be changed - but the cute and loving fox fairy who likes humans has been rumored to be a dangerous and cunning villain, under the guidance of prejudice, human beings have done a lot of persecution against the fox fairies, and finally the fox fairies have left the human world, and even the green hills where they have lived for generations have given up...
The Fox Fairy Kingdom has disappeared, who caused this?
During the Spring Festival holiday, reading this set of picture books of the Fox Family with children is really suitable for the scene, whether it is "Nian Beast Country" or "Fox Immortal Country", which children like.
I like the fox family this set of picture books in the form of encyclopedia to convey the warm story, the nian beast and the fox fairy, the two legendary oriental god beasts, with such a cute love but subversive traditional angle to tell, really too much like, recommended to you!
Tell your children these two folk tale picture books this Spring Festival, it is simply not too suitable!
