A Study Of Naughty Children Narrative In Children Novels Since The 1990s

Children novel is a new form of novels which gradually grows up after the children are seen as an independent life entity with their unique spirit and psychological world,namely,the "discovery of children".With children as the protagonists,it describes children's "outside world" and "inner universe",achieves children's understanding and acceptance,and arouses children's resonance in reading.The fundamental difference between this novel and the adult novel is that the creators are mainly adults,the recipients are children,and the adults take a top-down gesture.Therefore,what kind of emotional attitude the adults hold toward the children determines the appearance of children subjects and the spiritual characteristics of children novels.For a long time,subject to the influence of the times,politics,and culture,children novels are governed by the idea of adults,so the children shaped in the novels are not children in the natural sense.They are bitter children,angel children,good children,successors,red children,little men,problem children and so on,which are children symbolized and conceptualized.These children,who contain a certain sign and concept,are often the victims and bearers of the predicament of the times,or the "little adults" summoned by the times,or the supporters of the adult's thinking of the times.Correspondingly,the children novels also take in style seriousness,enlightenment,heaviness,meditation as the mainstream.Since the 1990s,some children that are different from the conceptualized and symbolized "little adults"have turned up in children novels.Originating in Shanghai female writer Qin Wenjun's the Boy Jiali,the novels write about some ordinary children,who have mediocre marks,plain looks,are not favored by their teachers,but are naughty,happy,pure,vibrant.They display the true "childish" "vitality" side of children.Compared with the lofty children shaped in the previous novels,they can be called "naughty children".In the novels with naughty children as heroes,the authors no longer describe the progressive growth of the orthodox children,but about the daily life details of these naughty children in school,at home,who are naughty,even mischievous.Instead of seeing them as defect and giving education,the creators stress children's vitality and creativity hidden in them.Such children novels can be called"naughty children narrative".This article mainly explores the naughty children narrative in children novels since the 1990's.The topics explored include:under what cultural backgrounds and changes does naughty children narrative arise?What a course does it experience since the 1990s?What aesthetic impact does it bring to Chinese children novels?Why is it so popular?Why are children readers eager for this

explores the view on children in Lu Xun's "to Save the Child" and Zhou Zuoren's "the Savage" during the "May Fourth"era.The enlightenment view on children in "to Save the Child" becomes the main trend

world is yours" explores the influence of Mao Zedong's thinking logic associating children,youth and the future of the nation on children's cognition and culture.The fourth section "to see the world in children's own eyes"explores the cognitive changes on children and children literature since the 1990s,which just takes the naughty children narrative as its standpoint.This perspective conversion
