Reasons why Jin Yong's novels should not be included in middle school textbooks
In the competition between Soochow University (from Taiwan Province Province, China) and the University of Macau in Group A of the Beijing Finals, the two sides were faced with a dispute: Should Jin Yong's novels be included in Chinese textbooks for middle schools? By drawing lots, the University of Macau agreed that it should; Soochow University is the opposite, but it shouldn't be. On the positive side, use "compatibility" to illustrate your point of view. In their view, Jin Yong's novels meet the three criteria for selecting articles in Chinese textbooks, which are both literary and interesting, and most of them have healthy thoughts, and many of them have high research value (such as martial arts thoughts and national unity). In addition, Jin Yong's novels can make students enjoy reading. As the saying goes, "Interest is the best teacher." If you are not interested, what are the benefits to Chinese learning? I prefer a positive view. In Chinese textbooks, if the subject matter is single, how to arouse students' learning enthusiasm? How can we embody the unity of humanity and instrumentality in Chinese subject? As Zheng Fang thinks, Jin Yong's novels are rich in connotation and strong in literariness, which can arouse students' interest in reading and can be selected into middle school Chinese textbooks, which is also the embodiment of the modernization of Chinese subject. But Jin Yong's novels are not only the essence, but also some things that are not conducive to the growth of teenagers. However, this is not the focus of the discussion. What do opponents think of Chinese textbooks (called Chinese in Taiwan Province Province)? It is a classic work that some students usually don't want to read, such as ancient prose. The entry of Jin Yong's novels into textbooks will inevitably lead to the abdication of ancient prose. Aren't Peacock Flying Southeast, On Qin and On Six Kingdoms in the Chinese textbook of Beijing Middle School all moved out because of Jin Yong's novels? This will inevitably lead to the lack of knowledge of ancient Chinese. The students who oppose it seem reasonable, but after careful analysis, we can see that their reasons are wrong. First, it is true that people don't like reading ancient Chinese, but on this basis, do you come to the conclusion that there are "some classic works that students usually don't want to read" in Chinese class? Second, it is true that the entry of new texts will inevitably lead to the deletion of an article from the original textbook, but is there only ancient Chinese in a Chinese textbook? That's not true. When Jin Yong's novels enter textbooks, a modern article can be removed. Third, Beijing Chinese textbooks do fly peacocks southeast, talking about Qin and Six Kingdoms, but this is not just the fault of Jin Yong's novels. Among them, "Peacock Flying Southeast" was moved out because an article "Facing the sea, spring blossoms" was added. Think about it, what power can our "Yong Novel" have, and can "scare" three classic ancient Chinese texts out of Chinese textbooks? You know, ancient Chinese is very important in middle school Chinese textbooks now. Besides, these three ancient essays have not been completely put aside, and they will meet the students again. "Jin Yong can't compare with Lu Xun. Lu Xun is a needle that hits the most painful place. He let people who live in depravity not despair; Jin Yong is more like wearing gorgeous official uniforms for some corrupt zombies, satisfying his own fantasies and making many people self-anesthetized and self-satisfied. " Netizen "007" wrote like this. Although it is not the first time that Jin Yong's works have entered Chinese textbooks, and this time Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain has only been selected for extensive reading, it has caused fierce controversy. An anonymous netizen wrote in a news comment: "This kind of curriculum reform is a kind of depravity, a kind of depravity of big country culture, which is sad. It is true that we like Jin Yong's novels. I also secretly read many of his books when I was at school. But education is not entertainment after all, and we try our best to cater to the tastes of the educated. Is our national spirit safe? Is our traditional culture safe? " There are obviously not a few people who hold this attitude. The comments of netizens randomly collected by reporters from the internet show that most netizens think that Lu Xun and Jin Yong are not comparable, and there is a spirit in Lu Xun's works that can guide people; Jin Yong's martial arts novels are just a kind of leisure reading. Many people who grew up watching the works of Lu Xun and Zhu Ziqing expressed regret and nostalgia for the decrease in the number of articles. The netizen said, "I remember crying when I watched Back. Some words are fresh in my memory, such as' trip', and the teacher explained the word emphatically at that time. I think this is a very good article. " A writer named Fan Chen said, "My favorite text is Moonlight on the Lotus Pond by Zhu Ziqing. It's beautifully written and fluent. Every time I look at it, I feel different, which has a great influence on me and is of great help to my poetry creation and prose writing. As for the reform of Chinese teaching, I think we should pay attention to the essence of traditional literature and the new works of the times, so that the next generation can inherit the essence of historical literature and carry forward China culture with the times, thus constantly promoting the progress of China culture! " Memory and nostalgia can't be the reason why textbooks keep these articles, but at least it shows that the articles of Lu Xun and Zhu Ziqing, who were selected into textbooks, have a great influence on the growth of that generation. Jing M.Guo, a post-80s writer worshipped by many young readers, once said: "In our textbooks, the most memorable texts are Lu Xun's, not only because of recitation and emphasis, but also because the characters in his works have never been seen before."
