Wen | condensed mother's understanding
Not long ago, Ning Mom mixed into a first- and second-tier city mom community group, the age of the children is concentrated in the primary school stage, they often share their children's books and other good things.
Around the New Year, many mothers are posting a new book with a particularly beautiful cover color - "Chinese Traditional Colors", and they have said: This book is particularly hot, everyone is reading, it is worth starting.
Ning Mama did not carefully understand the specific content, seeing that they liked it so much, and the herd psychology was also moved.
In fact, when I first saw this "Chinese Traditional Color", I focused on the word "traditional", thinking that it must be a book to tell children about traditional culture, and at the moment when traditional culture is valued, it is worth giving children a look.
After officially getting the book, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the content far exceeded expectations. Traditional culture is only part of it, and the real purpose is to enlighten children.
It is different from our previous method of aesthetic education: recognize various colors according to different color numbers, let children mix several colors to produce new colors, make a color card and so on.
This book does not use color numbers to define colors, but introduces 100 colors in the form of pure text, and combines rich knowledge of art, history, culture, astronomy, geography, science and so on.
Let children use different eyes to discover beauty, appreciate beauty, feel beauty, use beauty, and at the same time have great insight and eye-opening.
Its advantages, condensed mother summed up as rich and timeless content, pure and true color, simple and easy to understand language, let's take a look at the specific good, you will be interested.
Rich and timeless in content
Each color is represented by an object or thing visible to the naked eye, so that the color becomes vivid, rigid, changes with the change of things, can be seen and touched, and is imaginative.
For example, "green sink" with picture watermelon, because green sink melon is watermelon. After knowing this color, you can understand the mood of the poem "Kneeling with a plate of tea and cake, green and sinking melon purple peach". I feel that the poetry is obscure, but it is only because the accumulation of knowledge is not enough.
Each color has a corresponding poetic sentence, which can not only enrich the knowledge of poetry, but also arouse the good feelings of ancient culture, and also have special romantic feelings.
For example, there are too many poems supporting "Yellow Oriole Stay", like the familiar "two yellow orioles singing green willows", "thousands of warblers cry green and red", and several good sentences in the "Book of Poetry".
Behind each color there is an unknown story, allusion, history, and even multidisciplinary knowledge, knowing the origin of color, understanding the principle of color, in order to appreciate the thickness of color.
For example, "the color of the leaves" is light yellow, which is the hope of the beginning of life and the silence at the end, which can express both happiness and sorrow, with two stories. One is the melancholy of the Tang Dynasty poet Li He when he fell on the list, and the other is the leisure and leisure of the Qianlong Emperor. This makes the book very readable.
For example, the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, which is the place where the Qing royal family collects books, must be fireproof, so a large roof with black glazed tiles is designed, because black is a symbol of water and has the intention of fighting fire. I have to say that the ancients paid too much attention to detail and were too exquisite.
For example, "ultramarine" entered China along the Silk Road, and this color is used in the murals of the Kyzyl Grottoes, mentioning here, and introducing the location of Kyzyl, the origin of the name, and proper geographical knowledge.
For example, "Purple Mine", a small insect from a "lac worm", correspondingly introduces the living environment, diet and secretions of the lac worm, and then specifically explains the use of purple ore. It integrates biological and geographical knowledge.
Each color is expressed in clever words, which is more flexible and vivid than the color number.
For example, "stealing", "stealing", "small", "retreating", "refusing" to indicate that the saturation is not high, and "oil" to indicate that the brightness is not high, you can feel the romance in the bones of Chinese characters.
In detail, the seemingly ordinary colors, but their connotations are so rich, an article can not cover in detail, every color, every verse, every history, every knowledge is worth carefully studying.
The language is simple and easy to understand
Books that convey multidisciplinary knowledge such as aesthetics must be profound and difficult to understand, right?
Theoretically, this is the case, but this is a book for children, to meet the child's cognitive level, it must be edited to meet the contemporary context, so that children can understand it at a glance, and use it when they understand it.
This book does this very well, the combination of depth and shallow, the beautiful beauty, the simplicity, even if there is not a lot of cultural accumulation, knowledge accumulation, you can easily understand this book.
When you look at it, there is a kind of "Oh oh, it is so", and unconsciously understand the culture and multidisciplinary knowledge that is difficult to understand.
For example, when it comes to the color of "pine blue", there is such a popular description:
If you want to find a color that can represent the lives of ordinary people, Jinglan will definitely break into the final shortlist... In the vast land of China, pine blue, indigo blue, horse blue, wood blue, these different varieties of blue grass can be dyed blue...
The name Pineapple looks strange, but it's actually our old friend. The root of the pineapple is the well-known Chinese medicine plate blue root, and its leaves are another Chinese medicine big green leaf.
The above "FinalIst List" and "Our Old Friends" are very lifelike and very kind to read. The word "vast" is also majestic. The introduction of the roots and leaves of "Pineapple" is scientifically rigorous.
After reading this text, the color that has been confused also has an answer, and suddenly realized.
It is no exaggeration to say that the language of this book is both an accurate expression of related things, and there is nothing incomprehensible, which is too suitable for children to read.
The colors are pure and authentic
As an aesthetic enlightenment book, the color must be true and unbiased, so that children can see it for themselves and truly improve their appreciation ability.
This "Traditional Chinese Color" does this to the letter, at first glance it looks very exquisite, making people unable to release the volume, picking it up to read it in one breath, and then carefully treasured, for fear of blasphemy.
The visual paper is a thick coated paper, there is no translucency, color, the picture is very clean.
The pictures are all physical objects or real photos, very realistic and natural, seeing the color is like seeing the actual object, which is rare to do.
For example, the cherry blossoms open immediately, and you can compare this book with the real scenery, which will not disappoint you.
Soon it will be the season of Zi Yan red, taking this book out to go out and find the relevant colors, it must be a very romantic and pleasant thing.
In general, whether it is from the design, printing, or from the deep content expression, the book has a strong Chinese flavor, exquisite, wonderful, rich in connotation, high-end atmosphere on the grade. It can not only improve children's aesthetic ability, but also enhance children's cultural heritage and multidisciplinary knowledge, paving the way for future learning.
