Children's Literature And Education Research In Yan'an Period

Children’s literature and children’s literature education are two important aspects of studying children’s issues.The two are different from each other and are related to each other.They reflect the children’s spiritual outlook in different periods from different perspectives.The children’s literature and children’s literature education in the Yan’an period was in the turbulent period of 1930s and 40s.It provided important spiritual food for children in the democratic base areas and liberated areas,and made certain contributions to fostering reserve forces and the successors of the new China.They are an important link linking children and the revolution.They show the living conditions and spiritual outlook of the growing generation of gunfire from different angles,and at the same time reflect the process of children’s participation in the construction of history.However,there have been relatively few researches on children’s literature and children’s literature education in Yan’an period,and there is a lack of holistic research.Therefore,this thesis mainly focuses on children’s literature and children’s literature education in Yan’an period.Combining with children’s view and children’s education view in a specific period of time,the paper combs and elaborates the two together,which helps us to return to the historical context.It reveals the richness and complexity of its existence in the hope of supplementing and enriching existing relevant research,and providing certain reference for contemporary children’s literature and education.The first part is the introduction.It mainly expounds the background and significance of topic selection,research status,and the research ideas and methods of this paper.The first chapter describes the background of children’s literature and its education during Yan’an period.The first is the war environment.The Chinese Communist Party adopted the strategy of unifying the cultural front and the military front,emphasizing the importance of bringing literature and art and cultural education to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.In order to prepare reserve forces for the long-term war of resistance and cultivate talents for the establishment of a new nation-state,the Chinese Communist Party places special emphasis on the education and training of children.The second is the new education system.During the Yan’an period,the education of new democracy was carried out in culture and education,that is,the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal national,scientific,and popular education guided by the proletarian socialist ideology.The third is Yan’an culture.Yan’an culture is centered on Yan’an.It is innovation and creation on the basis of inheritance of May Fourth New Culture,left-wing revolutionary culture,and Soviet red culture.It is inclusive and sets Yan’an.The revolutionary culture,folk culture,traditional culture,and foreign culture all have a profound influence on the children’s literature and children’s literature education in Yan’an.The second chapter first combs and reviews the literary genres of children’s literary works in Yan’an period to show the overall appearance of children’s literary creation during this period.During the Yan’an period,children’s literature inherited the realistic style of the May 4th period in terms of artistic techniques and aesthetic construction.Its realism is mainly reflected in the war,production,and life styles in the base and liberated areas,reflecting the life style of children in the border areas.Furthermore,the children’s literature in Yan’an reflects the "collective ideals" of an era and a social group.In other words,for the collective imagination of children,the natural growth of children is often given a metaphorical meaning.Children grow from immature to mature.Symbolizes the development of a nation-state,and thus establishes an abstract connection with the nation-state discourse.The third chapter combines the basic ideas of children’s education in Yan’an period,takes the elementary school national language textbook as the research object,and explores the presentation method of children’s literature education and the basic characteristics it reflects.As an important carrier linking children with the revolution,the primary school language teaching materials bear the dual functions of propaganda and education.Apart from the anti-war education,they attach particular importance to labor education and pay attention to the training of children’s working qualities.In addition,textbooks tend to be "childrenized".All children from the border areas proceed from the actual situation and prepare textbooks that meet the characteristics of their physical and mental development.Textbook contents tend to be more children’s literary.Selected poetry,nursery rhymes,riddles,fables,etc.They also reflect the Yan’an period textbook editors’ exploration of the combination of educational material and interest.The fourth chapter gives an overall explanation of children’s literature and children’s literature education in Yan’an period.During the Yan’an period,children’s literature and children’s literature education emerged in accordance with the trend of the times.It is the embodiment of the anti-Japanese war culture and education.It is a practice that deals with the relationship between children and the nation and politics.It presents some common pursuits,that is,it reflects the reality and Nationality,education and propaganda are the goals,and the national spirit is manifested and passed down.Of course,both of them have historical limitations such as strong political utilitarianism,and the unity of the times and the nationality embodied in the two have certain reference value for the current children’s literature creation and children’s literature education.The actuality and nationality laid the overall tone of the children’s literature and children’s literature education during the Yan’an period.Despite its many historical limitations,it has made indelible contributions to the growth education of children in the war years and the liberation of the nation.Understanding the education of children’s literature and new children’s literature during the Yan’an period in the 30s-40s helps usto put aside the emotions of the times and objectively understand the historicalsignificance of the children’s literature during the Yan’an period and the national cultural spirit contained in it.This helps us to use children’s groups into the history of China.
