Recently, a children's book appeared a series of dirty words, causing heated discussions among netizens.
On March 28, Mr. Zhang of Baoding, Hebei Province, posted a message online that he accompanied his daughter to buy children's books at the library because she was going to participate in a speech competition. During the search, Mr. Zhang casually picked up a book to read, but he did not expect that the content of the book surprised him, and there were many dirty words, and words such as "TMD" frequently appeared in the book.
The post is accompanied by a few photos, you can see that this is a work called "Bumping into the Strange Old Man", the cover is printed with the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the classic fairy tale of the famous artist.
The most egregious place, three profanities appear in a piece of content of less than 100 words, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
"BTM pokes!" , "NTM bastard! Why didn't Ye come back until now"
The parent said angrily: "Now not only eating is poisonous, but reading is also poisonous, so that students will be affected by these obscure words for a long time, and the hope of the future motherland will one day be swallowed." Now that the state controls bad pictures on TV so strictly, no one cares about these books? ”
After the parent's post fermented on the Internet, on March 29, the publishing house responded: saying that this is the work of the famous children's literature writer Sun Youjun, which belongs to the writing method of wanting to promote and suppress, it is to teach children not to use dirty words, and it is recommended that parents read the whole text.
This dismissive attitude of the publishing house not only did not calm the situation, but caused great controversy on the Internet.
Some netizens said that parents are indeed a little out of context and too nervous. Is there no swear person around the child? Do you want children to live in a vacuum?
Some also say: Children's books should not have such dirty words, and the publishing house cannot cope with things with a sentence of "want to promote first suppress".
In the face of the many opinions on the Internet, I specially found this fairy tale with dirty words to look at it and share the general content with you.
From an adult's point of view, the fairy tale collection "Bumping into the Strange Old Man" is very ingenious in terms of content. It mainly tells the story between a fifth-grade boy named Zhao Xinxin and a "strange old man" who met by chance, with a vivid and interesting storyline.
The book contains a total of 4 fairy tales, and the article "Blue Tongue" in the book that appears "inappropriate content" is the book. The protagonist of the story is a father who finds a "blue tongue" in his child's bag, which will "export dirty" as soon as the child puts it in his mouth. The father inadvertently put a blue tongue in his mouth, and a series of ironic stories followed. In the end, the people who made the "blue tongue" were brought to justice.
It can be seen that the story is actually intended to show the bad consequences of swearing, and in the end the "person who made swearing" also received the punishment he deserved.
To be honest, after reading this fairy tale, I also had a moment wandering in my heart: is the parents too nervous, or is the author's expression really vulgar?
But I saw some netizens say: Aren't there also dirty words in many world famous books? It was this quote that gave me an epiphany, that healthy books also have boundaries.
In order to better demonstrate this problem, we searched for fragments of several famous Chinese and foreign works to take a look.
"Dream of Red Mansions": Sister Feng scolded Jia Rong: "The sky strikes thunder and splits, and the five ghosts divide the corpses without conscience!" I don't know how high the sky is, how thick the ground is, and the family adjusts three nests and four nests, and does these faceless, kingless, and ruined businesses. Your dead mother, Yin Ling'er will not allow you! The ancestors will not allow you either! Dare to persuade me!" While scolding, raise his hand and hit.
Crime and Punishment: "This foreign silly girl, this arrogant slut, this insignificant provincial woman, just because she is the widow of some major, came to the capital to try to ask for her pension..."
"Journey to the West": Anyone who has read the original book of Journey to the West should know that Sun Dasheng likes to scold people the most, scolding those monsters as "dead animals, skinned animals, monsters that seek death, and hair balls that die", and scolding Zhu Bajie is: "Rammed goods for fighting, rammed goods for naan, rammed goods with sharp mouths, rammed goods with evil mouths, rammed goods with lustful hearts" and so on.
In addition, the reckless heroes in "Water Margin" are even more profane, among which "straight lady thief" appears the most frequently, which is a proper dirty word, meaning equivalent to "CNMD" in modern vernacular.
So the question is, is it because there are these dirty words in Chinese and foreign famous books, can we ignore the dirty words in children's books, and there is no need to "make a fuss"?
No, no, let's analyze this problem from two aspects:
First of all, everything in the world is about keeping up with the times, including educating children.
For example, our generation, when I was a child, I went down to the river to fish, went up trees to steal dates, and rushed home to eat, running all the way and falling all the way and no one cared.
But now, how many parents have access to this free-range education? First of all, the current social environment does not allow, who can rest assured that the child runs out of the wild by himself? Secondly, young parents now raise their children according to books, and the water quality, proportion, and temperature of milk powder are strictly required. From the "stocking" of the past to the "intensive breeding" of today, it cannot but be said that it is the progress of the times and human concepts!
Speaking of books, who in the late 80s and early 90s of the last century was not obsessed with Qiong Yao? At that time, whoever had a Qiong Yao novel in his hand was the object of everyone's envy. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, TV series such as "Several Sunsets Red", "Huan Zhu Gege" and "Smoke and Rain" were broadcast, which repeatedly set new highs in ratings.
But today? With the change and improvement of people's cultural quality and values, Qiong Yao's books and film and television works have long been gradually abandoned by everyone, because more and more people feel that Qiong Yao's works are "three views are not correct".
Some people will say that even if it is not mentioned in the book, it is inevitable that some people around will say dirty words and cannot be stopped. This is true, but I only ask: books are the nourishment of the soul, if the nutrition is mixed with grit, do you want to give it to your children?
So, times are different, concepts are different, and some things have to change. In the past, I thought that a "TMD" was nothing, but now born in such an era of high development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, everyone talks about politeness and quality, and a sentence of national scolding will seem very abrupt.
Secondly, the audience of those Chinese and foreign masterpieces is adults, which cannot be compared with children's books.
"The book has its own golden house, the book has its own face like jade", books can indeed allow us to see a wider world, in the book can understand a lot of human principles, but not as long as it is a healthy book is suitable for all people to read.
For example, books such as "Waste Capital" and "White Deer Plain" are also famous works, would you recommend them to your children? Even high school students do not advocate because their outlook on life is not yet mature, they lack concentration, and they cannot fully grasp what some of the works really want to express and promote. Some language, behaviors and three views that are not suitable for their age may be absorbed by them, affecting their future growth and behavior.
"Crazy", which led the ratings frenzy some time ago, is also a kind of performance method that wants to be promoted and suppressed. The villain Gao Qiqiang portrayed in the play is loved and supported by many people, in fact, this is the embodiment of a wrong value.
Why do people like Gao Qiqiang? Because most people are ordinary people who have had the experience of being trampled on the ground and crushed like Gao Qiqiang, they all hope that they can possess Gao Qiqiang and one day trample all the people who have crushed them under their feet.
But everyone ignores, how many people can become Gao Qiqiang in reality? If the corpse poured in cement and broken on the road were our relatives, would you still like the character of Gao Qiqiang?
At least, seeing Li Xiang who fell to death and Lu Han who disappeared, I hated Gao Qiqiang incomparably in my heart.
In turn, adults are still confused by Gao Qiqiang's demeanor of the big brother of the underworld, ignoring that his final outcome is to be severely punished by the law. So, what about children whose values are not yet mature?
Therefore, even some healthy works, as children, should be selectively read.
When students are in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, the school will recommend some books suitable for their age group at each stage.
Those children's books with pinyin, you can imagine how old children are to see, their world is pure and cute, strong imitation, you don't see that four or five-year-old children have begun to shout old six, is a witness.
A "TMD" doesn't necessarily make them learn badly, but it does pollute their clear eyes and crystal heart.
Books are a channel for spreading positive energy, and in people's impressions, the content in the books is correct and can only be released after layers of review. Therefore, the appearance of swear words in children's books is a mistake.
Each child is a blank piece of paper, and under different educational concepts and social influences, it will eventually become a unique picture.
Everyone will be a parent, and every family will have children. What we can do is to protect these white papers and not let them be stained.
Therefore, purifying children's books is by no means a fuss!
