779 Why Do We Need Fairy Tales
There are two kinds of people in the world, one who has read Lin Han's works, and the other who is preparing to read it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the editorial department of the National People's Congress Publishing House, this group of editors forgot their own work one by one, and almost all of them were immersed in Lin Han's new book "Charlotte's Web"!
People who read a lot of books can naturally understand the meaning of the ten lines at a glance, so when they read the works one after another, the sound of inhalation starts one after another.
If they hadn't seen the details, they would never have imagined that a little pig would have such a deep friendship with a spider.
Maybe the spider made a web to catch the piglet, but unfortunately the web it weaved was not big enough, maybe a spider was accidentally stepped on by the piglet, and he bravely survived and completed the web building work, or Charlotte the spider used the web to exchange something with the piglet.
In short, it's hard to imagine that Charlotte would give her life to save Wilbur the piglet!
Friendship is to stand up in difficult times, this kind of unsatisfactory content in the fairy tale is not inconsistent at all, Lin Han's delicate brushstrokes let this group of adults see the touching friendship, but also gave them deep thoughts about life!
Similarly, Liu Jun, who once served as the editor in charge of Lin Han's first novel "I, Robot", also saw a completely different Lin Han.
The narrative style is completely fairy tale-oriented, full of childlike fun!
The science fiction master, while retaining his humorous temperament, uses the simplest, most direct, and most acceptable words for children.
Lin Han's descriptions of the characters' movements, language, and psychology are very suitable for children's physiological and psychological characteristics, and vaguely reflect the fresh and lively narrative characteristics.
Like Wilbur the pig sending the little girl Fen to school, waiting for her on the school bus, walking with her, Fen putting Wilbur the pig in the stroller, and the piglet hiding in the grass and arching the soil with his nose, these childlike text content can make the editors feel relaxed and happy!
Liu Jun already had some regrets at this time, his child was already in high school, otherwise he could have let him read this novel too.
The plot of "Charlotte's Web" is very simple, but Lin Han sketches the picture between Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig and the mouse Pucharton and the little girl Fen in a few words, which is full of pictures.
[You've always been my friend, and this in itself is a great thing. I build a net for you because I like you. Besides, what is life? We are born, we live for a while, and then we die. As a spider, it's pointless to just be busy catching and eating flies all my life, and by helping you, maybe I can raise the value of my life a little bit, everyone knows people or should do something meaningful!]
[I don't think that if you stay in one place, you will necessarily be friends. 】
Wilbur will never forget Charlotte. He loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, but none of these new spiders could take Charlotte's place in his heart. Charlotte is incomparable!]
[Wilbur often thinks of Charlotte.] A few strands of its old web were still hanging in the doorway. Every day Wilbur stood there, looking at the broken empty net, and his throat choked. No one has ever had such a friend, so affectionate, so loyal, so capable. 】
These sentences are full of emotion, especially Wilbur has become the guardian of Charlotte's descendants, and there is no one who can replace Charlotte!
"I don't know what to say, Lin Han is a genius. A female editor's voice was a little choked, she was probably the one who could best understand Charlotte's mood.
The other person also sighed: "Is this love or friendship?" ”
"Lin Han is really bold and careful, he actually dares to let a spider become the protagonist, after this book appears, I am afraid that some people will fall in love with spiders!"
Because the image of spiders is ugly and poisonous, they often appear unexpectedly around them, and most people's first reaction when they see spiders is to kill them, regardless of whether they are harmful or beneficial.
Even many girls will scream in fright when they see spiders, but Lin Han's book will undoubtedly reverse the image of spiders in people's hearts.
He gave Charlotte a spider a wealth of cultural knowledge beyond that of ordinary animals, and she even used spider silk to write human words and words on spider webs!
With a cool head, a serene demeanor, and an unusually compassionate demeanor, Charlotte was more than anyone could have imagined for Wilbur, and she was a strong mother.
……
At this time, Lin Han was not idle, while the editors of the publishing house were reading fairy tales, he wrote a long Weibo on the computer, which was regarded as a preventive shot for readers.
"Why do we need fairy tales?"
In this long blog post, Lin Han told his opinion, he thinks that fairy tales are not only useful for children, but also for adults!
[Fairy tales are like a magical mirror, reflecting the inner world of human beings, and also reflecting our path from naivety to maturity.
According to Bettelheim, fairy tales convey the experience and wisdom of human beings over thousands of years in symbolic language, revealing many fundamental truths about life and willfulness. "With any other type of story that children can understand," he said, "from fairy tales we can learn more about the problems of the human heart, more about the correct solution to the dilemma." ”
The charm of fairy tales lies in the fact that children get rich personal meaning from fairy tales, and stories promote their self-construction!
We can't tell you exactly what age a particular fairy tale is most important for a particular child. Therefore, the best thing to do is to let the children choose their own fairy tales, rather than adults overstepping them.
Parents usually start by telling their children fairy tales that they liked when they were children or still love them now, and explaining fairy tales to their children can damage the charm of fairy tales.
Fairy tales are never deceiving, even if they always happened a long, long time ago, even if the characters in fairy tales are either good or bad!
Before the 17th century, there were no fairy tales in the world. Before fairy tales appeared, children heard all they heard were dark folklore and country secrets.
Children should understand, what should not be understood, this boundary between understanding and not understanding, one is the active guidance of adults, and the other is the children's self-understanding.
Fairy tales play an appropriate role in self-realization, highlighting the basic concept of good and evil, life and death, beauty and ugliness, and leaving blank space is enough for children to start thinking about life!
