Centennial plan, education-oriented.
For national development, there is no small thing about teaching and educating people; As an important carrier of education, the compilation of textbooks and textbooks can be said to be the most important part of education.
However, some netizens found that the illustrations of the primary school curriculum mathematics textbook of the Renjiao version were low-quality and rough, and the character portraits were vulgar and barbaric. There is even a suspicion of inducing indecent movements and falsifying history, and the impact on teenagers is incalculable.
Fortunately, the relevant problems quickly received the attention of the superiors, and under the rectification and accountability, the poisonous teaching materials were quickly replaced.
With the advent of a new batch of textbooks, the more traditional beauty and Chinese style illustrations in the books have been recognized by the majority of netizens, who have said that "this is a textbook for teenagers".
So, what is going on with the previous poisonous textbooks, and in what ways have the current textbooks changed?
The "poisonous textbook" that was pushed to the forefront
In May 2022, the hot search of the illustrations of mathematics textbooks for grades 1 to 6 of the People's Education Edition sparked heated discussions on the whole network.
Netizens were furious at the unbearable textbook illustrations of the Renjiao version, and shouted the slogan "Save the children"; They believe that such teaching materials are simply "subversive cognition" for children to see.
So, how unbearable is the teaching materials of the people's education version, which can make netizens react so violently?
Judging from the complaints and feedback from netizens, the characters in the illustrations of the teaching materials of the People's Education Edition are not only ugly in appearance and low in intelligence, but also very indecent in posture and body shape, which is uncomfortable.
For example, some illustrations of children fighting each other, but the people's education version of the textbook can draw a "sense of harassment and obscenity": it is obviously a normal and simple childhood game, but the effect is to "rub the edges" on boys and girls.
In the illustrations, the overly detailed organ depictions on the characters' bodies are endless, and the characters' behaviors of lifting their skirts and groping pig hands can be seen everywhere, deliberately hiding yellow waste in the positive theme, which is no wonder that netizens and parents are furious.
And as netizens dig deeper, there are far more dirty things hidden in the textbooks.
In the textbook, there is a boy who sticks out his tongue and compares his V-shaped hand, with an exaggerated expression and floating eyes; There is also a girl who wears rabbit ears on her head and black silk on her feet, and with a sluggish expression, she can't see the child's innocence and immaturity at all.
If the motive is appropriate, the character actions are justified, but these indecent actions appear in some ordinary scenes of daily life, and the illustration actions are not only irrelevant to the depiction of the text, but also contrary to the purpose of education.
Some netizens bluntly said that these uncomfortable actions appeared in places where the eight poles could not be hit, and it was difficult not to speculate that they were deliberate.
And that's not the only problem with toxic textbooks.
Some netizens found that some illustrations in the textbook also had pictures of tampering with history and violating common sense.
Compared with the previous illustrations, the costumes of the characters in the textbook no longer have the characteristics of Chinese culture, but are more "Westernized", which makes people wonder which country made the work.
Compared with these obvious errors of consciousness guidance to the naked eye, the crooked and distorted facial features of the characters in the painting and the overall ugly and ugly painting style are no longer the most serious problems.
Whether the writer intentionally or unintentionally, this speechless poor quality of the painting really deserves to be criticized.
Some netizens complained that compared with the previous high-quality textbook illustrations, the current drawings are completely aesthetic decline.
Taking advantage of the turmoil of poisonous textbooks, the illustrations of the Sujiao version have also been set off to look good, the childish and cute painting style, and the Chinese-style children with thick eyebrows and big eyes can be said to have saved everyone's eyes that have been tortured because of the human education version.
But the public opinion turmoil brought by the poisonous textbook did not end here, and the abuse of netizens followed the compilation of the textbook and found the design agency of the drawing: Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio.
And Wu Yong, the main person in charge, was also carefully picked up by everyone, and the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts behind him was also criticized by netizens.
The turmoil behind it?
This is not the first time that netizens have criticized Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.
As early as a few months before the poisonous textbook turmoil fermented into a shocking wave, the "Hades" graduation exhibition of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts had already been complained about and bombarded.
In this "Hades" exhibition show, each model was painted with strange eye makeup, as if to cater to foreign aesthetics, and all of them were elongated by makeup to create a uniform squinting eye.
This time, the figure of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts appeared behind the poisonous textbook again, and it was naturally picked up by netizens again and whipped the corpse.
It is understood that these uncomfortable illustrations were mainly designed and drawn by two companies, one is "Beijing Jingrenjing Graphic Design Co., Ltd.", and the other is "Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio".
Although from an outsider's point of view, the bright leaders of these two companies are Lu Min and Wu Yong, in fact, it is Lu Jingren who is hidden behind these two leaders.
Born in Shanghai, Lu Jingren is currently a visiting professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. As a visual artist, Lu Jingren's international honors and domestic fame can be said to be the top group of existences.
Not only does he receive special allowances from the state, but he has also been rated as one of the top ten designers in China, and he is also a member of the International Federation of Graphic Designers and has won many international awards.
But the terrible thing is that such an excellent professor of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Lu Jingren, was also picked up by netizens with a relevant Japanese background.
During the chaotic war years, Lü Jingren's ancestors successfully made a fortune with a good background in Japan and became the top designers in China, but Japanese culture also deeply penetrated into his roots and penetrated and passed on to his student Wu Yong.
Coincidentally, the center of the whirlpool of the poison textbook turmoil happened to revolve around Wu Yong and his studio.
This kind of distortion has been imperceptibly spreading, until it is presented on the people's education version of the textbook, and this "hidden mystery" textbook has been used for a full 9 years, and the bad impact is unimaginable.
Therefore, the public opinion of this condemnation is getting louder and louder.
Although the design office did not come out to clarify or explain anything, the People's Education Society took the lead in resisting the pressure to apologize, and promised to redraw the illustrations of the textbook and complete it before the new semester.
On May 30, the Ministry of Education also issued a statement to establish an investigation team to comprehensively and thoroughly investigate the people behind the relevant drug textbook incident, conduct targeted investigation and rectification of related problems, and hold accountable those involved in the incident; At the same time, the Education Bureau will also conduct a comprehensive inspection of the publication and printing of all teaching materials to ensure that similar problems do not occur again.
Finally, education also calls for the need for the joint supervision of the whole society in educational materials.
Under the vigorous supervision and investigation measures of the Ministry of Education, in August of the same year, the investigation into the scandal of toxic textbooks was fully understood.
In the absence of any discovery of relevant interests, the relevant responsible persons, including the editor-in-chief and the person in charge, were given demerits and dismissals, and other relevant persons were given warnings to disciplinary sanctions.
Such a stern and iron-blooded style has indeed given the public a satisfactory result.
The follow-up of the poison textbook?
It is the common duty of the whole society to crack down on poisonous teaching materials quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.
The impact of poisonous teaching materials and tea poisoning is immeasurable and far-reaching for the vigorous growth and healthy development of young people, and for the continuous progress and orderly operation of society.
The erroneous values conveyed by the poisonous teaching materials are the dross that deserves to be denied by the whole society, and the dregs that should be spurned and discarded.
This encirclement and suppression of poisonous textbooks can be said to be a progress of the whole society, and after this time, more and more poisonous textbooks and popular science books have been found out by netizens.
Just like "The Daily Life of Ancient People", which caused an uproar a few years ago, under the guise of being a "popular science book", it pressed the Mid-Autumn Festival to foreign countries behind the scenes, and vainly called the Mid-Autumn Festival a "foreign festival".
It even rationalizes the act of stealing other countries' cultures, and makes readers "happy" to accept this behavior, because it is helping the inheritance of Chinese culture.
It is really astonishing that such a ridiculous statement is actually from a popular science book for the public.
I don't know if the author did it intentionally or unintentionally, but since it is under the slogan of transmitting knowledge and culture, such a distorted and outrageous "knowledge" should be strangled in the cradle.
Fortunately, after the turmoil of toxic textbooks, not only did new textbooks come out again, but the illustrations in them regained the beauty of China; And more and more people are aware of the "bad faith" of the bookmakers.
Nor is this an improvement.
In the new textbook, the students in the illustrations have once again returned to a positive and sunny life, and the students outside the books no longer need to be hurt by all kinds of distorted illustrations.
The upright three courts and five eyes replaced the crooked and sluggish ugly painting style of the past, and once again regained the image of handsome and feminine young boys and girls in the Chinese style, and played a positive role in education and publicity.
Chinese pastoral dogs, Tang costumes, Chinese decoration and Chinese architecture, these most national characteristics and Chinese style things have replaced the dirty and outtroverted things in the past, and are more decent and upright.
Netizens praised that this is the cultural atmosphere of China for 5,000 years, and this is the textbook that Chinese teenagers who are positive and sunny and fall in love with progress should read.
Perhaps, this is the most perfect ending of the poisoned textbook incident.
Conclusion:
The public opinion turmoil caused by the poisonous textbooks is worth pondering.
As China with a long history of culture, cultural heritage and traditional skills have made our teenagers have strong cultural self-confidence and national pride, which is the spiritual qi that should be protected and cultivated by teaching materials, and should not be poisoned and polluted by crooked facial features and distorted history.
Fortunately, our regulatory authorities responded in a timely manner and gave you a teaching material full of national style.
So, what do you think about the drug textbook turmoil?
