A Multi-dimensional Interpretation Of Yang Hongying Phenomenon

Since1990s, Yang Hongyin's creation improves the children's literature in China, particularly the development of childhood literature. Meanwhile, the criticism which focuses on its lack of literary artistic value has followed. Debates led by such criticism attract people's attention and discussion from many fields, including Literature, Education and Publishing fields etc. Yang Hongying Phenomenon reflects the current situation and development of original children's literature creation in China, and leads to the discussions on the relevant issues of children's literature, such as the evaluation system and standards for children's literature, the relationship between children's literature and the operation of the commercial publishers. These discussions influence the development of children's literature actively. Based on the evaluation and discussions from different perspectives, this thesis will discuses the children's literature from a multi-dimensional perspective, focusing on its original creation, reading reception, works evaluation, publishing and industrial value.In original children's literature creation, Yang Hongying found a path to the children's inner heart. She is a teacher, an editor of children's books, an author of children's literature and a mother. Her life experience is always related to children, which enables her to understand children better. Holding the concept of"child-orientation", she goes into the life of children, and communicates with them equally. She describes children's real life from children's perspective in"abstract to real"way, and expresses children's feeling in her works. Her works of children's literature meet the children's psychology characteristics and aesthetic demanding, meeting their reading expectation on aesthetic reception. What she represents to children are the real condition and fantasy world, which make them"be children proudly"! On the other side, children's literature possesses the function of education in nature by the special definition of"children". Children and literariness are dependent on each other in children's literature, which have function of aesthetic education and bear the heavy responsibility to lead the correct direction of children's development. In this commercial society, the best selling of Yang Hongying's works depends on the meticulous planning, operation and marketing by press. In this sense, her works are commercial products, and their industrial value shows wild influence. Meanwhile, her works are introduced to many other countries gradually. More people are familiar with the images of"Ma Xiaotiao"and"Xiao Mao"which reflect Chinese local elements.Yang Hongying Phenomenon gives us lots of inspiration on literature creation, reading reception, children education and publishing of children's literature. An author should persist in the creative method which reflects Chinese local feature, and to understand the children's psychology status and aesthetic demanding forwardly. The author must attach importance to the function of aesthetic education of literature, making the nice infection instead of lecture. Then he should work on with press on planning and operation in line, so as to make works enter into the market of both inland and overseas far and wide.
