The Comparative Study On Outlook Of Children Between Zhou Zuoren And Feng Zikai

Both FengZikai and ZhouZuoren Play significant roles in modern china children’s literature history. Theiroutlooks on children are similar in discovering children, Praising children and liberating children. In fact, we might even regard them as a single camp - camp for children. They were against the opnions of" Adult Self-centered" and criticized the view which takes children as the accessory of the adults. With the appreciation of innocence and playful element, they not only assisted the game spirit and the pleasure principles, but also emphasized the importance of the games for children. Though they are in the same camp, they went on separated ways. ZhouZuoren who kept winning over children’s right and liberation in his lifetime criticized the national ignorance of children with the opnions of" child-centered" from a research point of view. While FengZikai, a Buddhist, who praised and worshipped children were eager to preserve the nature of children. There are difference between their outlooks on children, such as "child-centered" and "child-worshipped".Perceptual and rational, natural development and hiddenness.This article is divided into three parts. The first part which mainly sues method of analysis history data focuses on the comparison experience and their ideology development. In this way, their traces of historical development can be more clear and definite. They had similar childhood and learning experience, but they had completely differentresearchdirections. Thesecondpartistext analysis. According to comparing and analyzing, the authortrys to seekthe connotation of their outlooks on children and figure out the differences.The third part is philosophical analysis. ZhouZuoren was deeply affected by the child psychology of Ferudian school and FengZikai believed in the buddhistic aim.such as "hearts are naturally pure " and "lifes are originally rough". In order to find the reason why the differences exist, the author mainly analyzed the differences of their philosophical.The outlook on children is not only the pivot of producing for children’s writers, but also the foundation of value judgment for research on children’s literature. Their accomplishment is always acknowledged to be the highlight of modern china children’s literature history. These two grandmasters provided two important trains of thought:"child-centered" and "child-worshipped" and made great contribution to the the process of children’s literature modernization. So the reseach on them makes sense.More importantly, though these two grandmasters had similar purpose on children, opposite attitudes still existed in some problems of children. It leaves puzzles, what’s the relation and differences in connotation and what’s the reason? Just as Tacitus, the greatest historian in ancient Rome, said " In order to know yourself, you have to compare yourself with others. " It iscomparative study that makes their connotations and values of children view more comprehensive and scientific. Nowadays China children literature and children’s education reflect a number of problems, Especially the conflict and reconstruction between " adult culture " and " child culture".It is enlightening for the topic aboveto tease, compare and analyse the connotation and cause of their children view. Now, the academic circles pay less attention to the comparative reseach between them, so, a comparative study of ZhouZuoren and FengZikai’s outlooks on children is particularly needed.
