Kids: Did you see any interesting pictures at school today?
This question may be that many parents have been asking their children recently, because a children's picture book called "Encyclopedia of Pictures You Can Understand at First Reading" has unexpectedly become popular, and it is a little "hot", not because of how good the book is, but because of the pictures in the book, which makes many parents panic
This picture book, known as the introduction of the culture and life of children around the world, turn the pages of the book, you will see children from different countries, some wearing bright national costumes, some are playing their own unique games, but take a closer look, the problem comes, you will find that children from Europe and the United States, the eyes are very big, bright and bright, like cartoon characters in cartoons, but as soon as you come to the Chinese children, the style of painting changes abruptly - either squinting, or only one slit in the eyes, looking dull, There seems to be less agility in his eyes, more ... How to say it, an inexplicable sense of depression
This is not my personal feeling, many parents on the Internet have complained, "My child pointed to the picture in the book and asked me, is the Chinese child sick?" "Is this publisher serious? This style of painting is simply a shadow of childhood! "Where is this to introduce culture, it is clearly a collection of cultural 'stereotypes'!" Various comments came out one after another, and everyone's emotions were quite emotional
The style of this picture book, not only a simple aesthetic difference, many parents do not care whether the style of painting is realistic, the key is that this picture book presents a biased, incomplete image of China, it uses a seemingly "objective" way, strengthens the stereotype of the Western world of Chinese, this subtle difference, but may subtly affect children's cognition, so that they have a certain prejudice before they really understand China, and how terrible this prejudice is!
The problem is not only in the eyes of children, but also in some of the illustrations depicting Chinese family life, there are also puzzling mistakes, in the scene of a family meal, chopsticks are actually inserted in the center of rice! This is a big taboo in our China, which is like using the taboo in Western culture to show, which is very disrespectful to Chinese culture, such details, it is easy for children to misunderstand, or even imitate, which will seriously affect children's understanding and respect for traditional culture
We hope that children can understand cultures around the world through reading and cultivate a sense of respect for multiculturalism, but if the book itself is full of prejudice and errors, it is undoubtedly misleading children, and even "poisoning" children's minds, which is not only a dereliction of duty by publishers, but also a social problem
Some parents said that they now dare not buy books for their children casually, because you can never guess what "bomb" is "lurking" in the next one, and they began to carefully check every picture book and every textbook, for fear that their children will be affected by bad information.
So, what should we do in the face of this kind of problem? We need to be vigilant, carefully screen children's books, pay more attention to details, not just look at the cover and introduction, we must actively report the problems found, let the publisher and relevant departments take responsibility, and more importantly, we need to strengthen the supervision of children's book publishing, improve the review mechanism, and prevent the emergence of such problems from the source
Some people may say that this is just a small illustration problem, and there is no need to make a big fuss, but what I want to say is that it is these seemingly small details that make up the cognitive world of children, and if we can't guarantee even the most basic knowledge and values, how can we expect children to grow up healthily?
It's not just a question of a few pictures, it's a question of how we can cultivate the right worldview, values and culture in our children, we cannot tolerate any harm to children's physical and mental health, and we cannot tolerate any cultural prejudice and discrimination
This incident has continued to spark heated discussions on the Internet, and many netizens have expressed concerns, "This is not a simple aesthetic problem, but a problem of cultural output and value guidance", "I would rather my child read fewer books than let him see such books", these concerns are not groundless, how can we ensure that children can be exposed to healthy, positive and correct cultural information? This is a question worth pondering
We should call for strengthening the supervision of children's book publishing, improve the quality of publications, and avoid the recurrence of similar incidents, and also call on parents to keep their eyes open and carefully screen when choosing books for their children, so as not to let those "poisonous textbooks" full of prejudice and mistakes hurt our children, and we do not want children's future worldview to be based on distorted cognition
I would like to ask the children again, did you see any interesting pictures at school today? I hope your answers are positive and full of joy
We advocate the spread of positive energy and resist all forms of bad information. If you see any infringement, please report it in time, and we will deal with it as soon as possible.
