After some communication, my daughter told me many interesting things about Lu Xun while saying "Brother Xun is so cute". What fight with pigs, just finished filling my teeth, went to Xidan to buy a bunch of sweets, and there are the classic stalks of the famous saying "Save the children" and "There are two trees in the yard, one is a jujube tree and the other is a jujube tree". In short, she said that reading Lu Xun's words and thinking of such a lovely image were full of fun. In addition, Lu Xun's article is not fake at all, it is really beautiful, so she likes it.
My daughter also told me that you don't even know these things? Check online by yourself! Unexpectedly, children like Lu Xun mainly because of his "funny" personality. Xia Yan said that Lu Xun was "humorous as hell"; Chen Danqing rated Lu Xun as "the most interesting person in China in the past century". I think if teachers can start from this point, they will be able to successfully cultivate more children's interest in reading Lu Xun, starting with lovely characters, starting with prose, and slowly moving towards essays and more complex ideological content.

I feel that what children often read every day is the simple, straightforward and practical words in the official WeChat account. Except for Chinese textbooks, prose should have disappeared from their field of vision. Now I have a little interest in senior words, so I should find more materials to show my children. In my impression, there is such a set of "Everyone's Little Paintings" series of picture books, all of which are classic prose works of modern literary masters, supplemented by exquisite pictures, which are beautiful. I borrowed several books first, including Lu Xun's classic essay "Social Drama".
The illustrations in this book are so beautiful that I read them first, which is a hundred times more interesting than reading textbooks when I was a child. The beautiful Jiangnan water town, the theater floating on the water, the awning boat floating on the water like a taxi, the friends with white stripes in the waves, the ups and downs of the theater mood ... Why didn't you find it so interesting to read when you were a child, just memorize it as a text?
After reading it, my son became interested in cooking beans on Wu Peng's boat. He asked his father, how can he make a fire and cook at any time when there are cookers on board? Dad explained that many people in Jiangnan used to take boats as their homes and live on water, and there were no tiles on the shore. After liberation, there was no address when registering their household registration, and the government forced them to go ashore for resettlement. With the disappearance of traditional canal shipping, this group gradually disappeared. I think the battle of Changjin Lake should have a perceptual understanding of this point. The protagonist's family lives on a boat, and his parents say that "our family has been floating on the water for generations."
If you still don't understand the "big ship" and "white-covered ship" in this book after reading it, you can read another book casually-Wu Pengchuan edited according to the letter from Mr. Lu Xun's brother Zhou Zuoren. The same water town, the same life, told by different narrators, is quite interesting. In the letter, Mr. Zhou Zuoren introduced in detail the transportation tools in his hometown-Wu Peng boat, the difference between Wu Peng boat and Bai Peng boat, and all kinds of memories and experiences of riding Wu Peng boat.
Looking at the pictures in the book, I can't help but think of the pictures that my children took them to Shaoxing when I was a child, just like the pictures in the book, except that the children didn't know Lu Xun at that time.
At present, this set of books has been published in several sets, totaling 30 volumes. I think illustrations greatly improve the readability and interest of beautiful articles that have gone away from us. Among them, there are several other famous works by Lu Xun, such as Young Man Moistening the Soil, Kong Yiji and From Baicao Garden to San Tan Printing the Moon. I think at the right time, I might as well enjoy it with my children, regain the beauty of prose, and taste the folk customs and China, childhood and the four seasons in the eyes of literary people.
