The book "Divine Beast Academy" is full of interesting enlightenment and traditional cultural knowledge. If the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Suzaku, the Xuanwu, the Rabbit Grandpa... These traditional cultural beasts sit in the classroom like primary school students, attend classes, take exams, and write homework, and they will also be like the "little god beasts" at home, sometimes staring at homework and scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks, and sometimes frowning at the exam papers? The "Divine Beast Academy" series of works gives the answer -
The green dragon who enters the sky and the earth turns into a crying bag when he looks at the math problem, the dress-up Suzaku always steps on the class bell to enter the school door, and the weasel transforms into the primary school bully who loves to raise his hand and speak in the classroom. This group of living treasure divine beasts broke the stereotype of Chinese sacred beasts, and each one was intelligent, cute and energetic, like the appearance of primary school students in daily life, which made people feel kind and familiar.
The "immortal teacher" and cultural location in the book allow children to see pictures and learn scenes: the Mythical and legendary Wenqu Star, in the story, is an amiable old principal; the moral education director is the stove prince, who says good things in heaven and goes down to the earth to ensure peace. In addition, young readers can also see in the story how the Weaver Girl spends Tanabata without Queqiao; a relay race with the daily Kwa Father; learns arithmetic with Fuxi Nuwa; and plays with Sun Wukong as a "sleepy bug"...
"Divine Beast Academy" is specially created by the author for second- and third-grade primary school students, which can become a good helper for children to learn Chinese.
The cultivation of children's comprehensive quality is the topic that parents and teachers are most concerned about since the double reduction policy. Many parents have such feelings in the process of parent-child reading, children's enthusiasm for reading is very high, literacy is also a lot, but most of them are interested in books with more pictures and do not like books with large amounts of text. In particular, many lower primary school students will scratch their heads in the transition from "reading pictures" to "reading texts". The "Divine Beast Academy" set of books solves this problem very well. The book's up to 120 creative illustrations, combined with the image form of multi-grid comics, the image is intuitive, which can exercise the ability of students in the lower grades of primary school to read and speak and write, so that children can easily achieve the advanced level of reading and writing.
According to Li Hao, the editor-in-chief of the book, in addition to the humorous and vivid fantasy stories, "Divine Beast Academy" also integrates the knowledge of Guozijian, Confucius Temple, Summer Palace, Zhongyuan Festival and so on, so that children can understand the different charm of history at close range. In the book, the protagonist Zhou Youyou and the divine beast classmates traveled to the North Sea, visited Jingshan Mountain, ate popsicles in the Summer Palace, watched the moon at the Lugou Bridge, and sent microblogs to help the wheezing dogs in the "Dog Temple", so that the children who read the book felt that they were their closest friends.
It is reported that the second series of "Divine Beast Academy" is in full swing, and the work will continue the creative style of the first series, starting from folklore, architecture, food, festivals and other aspects, integrating real life Chinese hotspots, so that young readers can unconsciously complete the systematic reserve of traditional cultural knowledge while reading happily, so as to fall in love with reading and fall in love with the traditional culture with a long history.
