 1903,The two-volume "Xin'an Harmony Translation" translated by Zhou Guisheng is published,Volume 1 is the abridged translation of "Arabian Nights",Volume 2 is translated from "Aesop's Fables", "Grimm's bet365 sports" and "Hauf's bet365 sports"。"Grimm's bet365 sports" Selected Translations of 12 Grimm's bet365 sports。From now on,The name fairy tale spreads in our country。1908,Sun Yuxiu planned and edited the "Fairy Tale Series" at the Commercial Press,Recreate with reference to Western European bet365 sports and legends such as "Fifty Anecdotes from the West" (written by American writer Baldwin),Written bet365 sports such as "Cat-free Country" and "Thumb",Known as "the founder of Chinese bet365 sports" by Mao Dun (Volume 34 of "The Complete Works of Mao Dun")。1909,In the first episode of "Collection of Foreign Novels" translated and published by the Zhou Brothers,Contains the fairy tale "The Prince of Peace" by Oscar Wilde, a writer from Ireland in the 19th century (then ruled by Britain)。September of the same year,The fairy tale "The Flowers on the Ridge of Melos" (translated as "Rose on Homer's Tomb") by Danish Andersen (Andersen) was included in the second volume of "Collection of Foreign Novels",This is also the first time that Andersen’s name has been mentioned by a Chinese writer。Since 1912,Zhou Zuoren is eager to carry out interpretation and research on "children's issues" and "bet365 sports",Translated Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Princess",Writing "The Biography of the Danish Poet Andeljan",Published "Notice for Collection of Shaoxing Children's Songs and bet365 sports",Inspiring writers to work in the deserted garden of children's literature。Ye Shengtao, who loves literature, has a deeper understanding of "children's issues" and "bet365 sports",Between 1921 and 1922,He created the first fairy tale collection "Scarecrow" in the history of Chinese children's literature,Opened up its own creative path for Chinese bet365 sports。

  Telling bet365 sports in "Self-cultivation Class"

Spring 1912,After graduating from Ye Shengtao Middle School, he taught in a junior primary school (Yanzimiao Primary School) in Suzhou City,From the day he stepped onto the podium,Just believe that the purpose of education is to “educate people”,Take "making the bet365 sports develop their brilliance" as the joy of life。He incorporated this concept into his "self-cultivation class" teaching,Teaching topics such as "diligence in study", "self-reliance", "knowing shame" and "patriotism" to bet365 sports,Can be called oral creation "bet365 sports's literature",Sometimes we also teach adapted Chinese and foreign classics:

The second lesson on self-cultivation,Talk about "independent nature",To tell the story of Robinson Crusoe’s rafting on the island,Everyone laughed when they heard this。Unheard,Fun forever,Solid ordinary psychology,Especially for bet365 sports,Take advantage of this,The words are based on the ancients,It’s so much better (diary on June 10, 1912)。

Morning class for self-cultivation,To describe a wild incident。Little bet365 sports are in the same boat,The son saves the daughter but loses himself。The incident can be seen in the works of a certain novelist,Very interesting,Can produce love and compassion。If you don’t tell the enemy how to kill someone,It is also a poison to hide all the bet365 sports。Those who listen will be relieved immediately,This is a temporary feeling,However, it has had its effect (Diary of January 8, 1914)。

"Robinson Crusoe's Drifting on Juedao Island" is "Robinson Crusoe" (the earliest translation is called "Juedao Island Diary"),This novel by British writer Daniel Defoe,It tells the story of the protagonist Robinson who died at sea,Drifting to an uninhabited island,And insist on living on the island,The story of finally returning to the original society。Translator Zhou Di said in "Introduction": Our country is "enemies on all sides",The situation is like Robinson Crusoe’s “lonely island”。"The rise and fall of the world,Every man is responsible”,Chinese people must be as “brave” and “social” as Robinson Crusoe,Only in this way can we create a new world of "brilliant magic"。Robinson’s story makes children feel “eternally interesting”,The "wild thing" of "a child saving a daughter" makes children develop "love and compassion"。Telling bet365 sports in "Self-cultivation Class",First seen in diary on March 12, 1913:

The afternoon manual class is absent,I told bet365 sports instead,If the language is novel, everyone will be happy and listen quietly。This is just a coincidence,Not close to love,I think it is inappropriate to speak to children。

Although the bet365 sports at that time were said to have “novel language”,The children "all listened happily",But Ye Shengtao felt that it was “not close to the relationship”,"It is not appropriate to speak to children"。Most of the popular bet365 sports at that time were adapted from Chinese legends、History book、Novel and foreign fables and bet365 sports。Most fairy tale writers blindly follow popular Western theories,Equating bet365 sports with "myths", "legends", "fables" and "folk stories" (Shang Jinlin "Opening up the path of fairy tale creation in my country - "Scarecrow" cartoon review")。Zhou Zuoren mentioned in "Discussion of bet365 sports·1",“The simplest definition of fairy tale is ‘literature of primitive society’”,Children’s psychology is “similar to the original person”,"The role of bet365 sports in children's education is literary rather than moral" ("Morning Post Supplement" January 25, 1922)。Hu Shi also believed that educating children “does not have to take into account whether it is practical or not”,No wonder Ye Shengtao criticized it as "unsuitable to speak to children"。

Ye Shengtao is familiar with children,In the ten years from 1912 to 1921,He studied at Suzhou Yanzimiao Primary School、Shanghai Shang Gong School、Teaching at the Fifth Higher Primary School of Wu County, Luzhi Town。In his forty "Talk about Literature and Art" published in "Morning Post Supplement",We solemnly propose that children’s literature should conform to children’s nature and instinct and write about children。Precisely because he is familiar with children,Have experience in children’s literature creation,To the Greens introduced one after another、Andersen、There is another in-depth study of Oscar Wilde’s bet365 sports (Ye Shengtao: "Children’s Literature and Me"),Thus inspired the desire to create bet365 sports。January 1922,The "Children's World" weekly edited by Zheng Zhenduo was launched,Out of support for Zheng Zhenduo,Ye Shengtao was long before the founding of "Children's World" weekly,Just create bet365 sports day and night。The first article "Little White Boat" was written on November 15, 1921,Ye Shengtao then successively created bet365 sports such as "The Fool", "Swallow", "A Seed", "Earth", "Fang'er's Dream"。To June 1922,He wrote a total of 23 bet365 sports,And gathered together as "Scarecrow",Published by Shanghai Commercial Press in 1923,This is the first collection of bet365 sports in the history of Chinese children’s literature。For this fairy tale collection,Zheng Zhenduo said in the preface: This collection is "descriptive on the one hand",There is almost no chapter in the entire collection that was not successfully produced" ("Preface to "Scarecrow")。

 bet365 sports from the fairy tale collection "Scarecrow"

The bet365 sports in the fairy tale collection "Scarecrow" are divided into two categories: one is "beautiful bet365 sports",Beautiful、Easy、Alert,Hidden between the lines is "a child's dream"、Innocent smile、Beautiful emotions。Zang Kejia praised these "literary and artistic works that can really attract children",Also "appreciated by adults","Put it in,Just a little obsessed”。For example, the description at the beginning of "Little White Boat":

A creek is home to all kinds of cute things。The little red flower stood there,Just smile,Sometimes they dance beautifully。The green grass is covered with dewdrops,Like the clothes of an immortal,Dazzling。The water is covered with green water chestnut leaves,Yellow Pinghua flowers stand out,bet365 sports looks like water lilies in tropical places - bet365 sports can be said that they are water lilies in Lilliput。Small fishes come and go in groups,As thin as an embroidery needle,Only two big eyes are shining。The frog stares,I don’t know what I’m doing there,Maybe waiting for his good friend。

The bet365 sports plot unfolds in such a refreshing artistic conception。The protagonists of the story are a boy and a girl,They took a "little white boat" that was "only reserved for lively and beautiful children",Playful、Singing,Wandering in tranquility and beauty、In the creek filled with infinite vitality and joy。Suddenly there was a strong wind,The small white boat goes down the wind,Lost in a desolate wilderness downstream,Later they met a man with a terrifying face、The kind-hearted giant,The giant offered to send the children home if they could answer three of his questions: "Why do birds sing?”“Why do flowers smell so good?”“Why are you taking a small white boat?”The children’s answer is: “They want to sing to the people who love them。”“Fragrance is goodness,Flowers are a symbol of kindness。”“Because we are pure,Only the small white boat is suitable for us to ride on。”The answer to the last question is profound,In the world of children,The little white boat is a symbol of purity,Among them,The word "only" highlights the innocence of children。In this bet365 sports,All vitality of nature is rooted in love,“Love” and “Beauty” are the only survival rules in life,Connecting the hearts of innocent children and ugly giants。

"Indus", "Swallow" and "Fang'er's Dream" are comparable to "Little White Boat",It is also an ode to "beauty" and "love",Fresh style,Combining reason with emotion,Although the imagination is strange,But they are all close to children’s imagination and emotions,Full of fun。Ye Shengtao is simply a high-level painter,With his unique perspective,sensitively captures the beauty of nature and the innocent dreams of children,Fully mobilized the fantasy of bet365 sports、Exaggeration and other unique expression techniques,Describes "a beautiful fairy tale life" in the language of poetry,A child’s innocent land” (Zheng Zhenduo’s “Preface to “Scarecrow”),Let the children experience endless fun。

The second is a fairy tale that melts "adult sorrow"。Although "beautiful bet365 sports" are in line with children's curious nature,Also received enthusiastic praise from the literary and art circles,But Ye Shengtao himself is not satisfied,The style changed when writing "The Happy Man"。

"The Happy Man" talks about how there are too many unreasonable things in society,There are too many unfortunate people。There is a "happy person",What he saw was happiness in everything,Everyone is happy;No sorrow,No fraud either。Because he lives in a mysterious and transparent "curtain",Can’t see the truth about the outside world。Later,This soap bubble-like "curtain" was pierced by the "devil",The "happy man" dies。Follow the concept of piercing the "mysterious transparent curtain",Ye Shengtao created the bet365 sports "Scarecrow"。The first paragraph of "Scarecrow" reads:

Scenery and scenes bet365 sports fields during the day,A poet wrote it into a beautiful poem,An artist painted it into a vivid picture。At night,The poet drank wine,A little drunk;Where’s the painter,Singing in a low voice while holding a delicate musical instrument;No time to go to the fields。Then,Who else can tell people about the scenery and scenes bet365 sports fields at night?Yes,Also,It’s the scarecrow。

Ye Shengtao criticized some writers at that time for alienating the countryside,Not paying attention to observing life,The tendency to sing in a low voice depends solely on personal taste,His intention to take a photo,A vivid and objective description of this situation through the perspective of a "scarecrow"。In addition,There are a lot of childlike descriptions in this bet365 sports,Introducing children to a "bet365 sports world" full of novelty and mystery;When the children step into the warm and sweet "bet365 sports world" with great interest,What you see is a real "real world"。The bet365 sports focuses on several tragic things that the "Scarecrow" encountered one after another on a "starry night": "Meatworms" chewed the rice leaves crazily;The fisherman leaves her sick son behind,Catching fish by the river,Her son was lying in the cabin coughing,Calling for tea,Mother could only scoop a bowl of river water for him to drink;The crucian carp caught by the fisherman is struggling in the barrel,Begging the "Scarecrow" to let it go;A woman came to the river and threw herself into the river,She doesn’t want to be treated like a “cow” by her husband,Sold to others as casually as a pig,But "there is no other way out but death"。This bet365 sports reveals a corner of the night,We saw all kinds of tragic scenes in the rural areas of Jiangnan at that time,I have seen the sorrow and distress of the conscientious intellectuals in old China (Shang Jinlin "Opening up the road of bet365 sports creation in my country - "Scarecrow" cartoon review")。

1935,Lu Xun said in ""Table"·Translator's Words": ""Scarecrow" opened a way for Chinese bet365 sports to be created by oneself。Unexpectedly, there was no transformation after that,And no one is tracking it。”Actually,After the publication of the fairy tale collection "Scarecrow",Ye Shengtao created many more bet365 sports,The second collection of bet365 sports "Stone Statues of Ancient Heroes" was published in 1931,In addition, there are many bet365 sports scattered in newspapers。These bet365 sports reflect the broader social reality,Full of exposure and satire on rulers,Full of critical power of realism。Such as "Stone Statues of Ancient Heroes", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Mimosa" have profound meanings,Has some fable characteristics。But in Lu Xun’s view,Fairy tale creation should have a higher standard,He said in "Qiejieting Essays: Reading Pictures and Reading": "Children can be respected,He often thinks of the realm above the stars and the moon,Thinking of the situation under the ground,Think of the uses of flowers,Words that think of insects;He wants to fly into space,He wants to sneak into the ant nest...";In "

·Translator's Words", he emphasized that works for children should be "new in content" and "very interesting",To enable children to “move towards a new world that is constantly changing”,“Continuously flourishing and growing”。Use such a high standard to measure,Lu Xun feels that Ye Shengtao’s bet365 sports “have not changed”。There are several writers who "tracked" Ye Shengtao's bet365 sports。1932,Zhang Tianyi’s fairy tale "Da Lin and Xiao Lin" was serialized in the monthly "Beidou",Praised by the literary and artistic circles。In Lu Xun’s view,His achievements in fairy tale creation are still very weak。Lu Xun’s enthusiastic concern and hope for fairy tale creation,It also reaffirmed Ye Shengtao’s fairy tale creation from another aspect。
