"The reason why my works are my works is that one of the most important elements is the landscape element. From a writing point of view, it is very painful and almost impossible for me to leave the description of landscape." When talking about the serious loss of descriptions of natural scenery in some current children's literature, including other literary works, Cao Wenxuan expressed his opinion on why there are not many descriptions of scenery in many works today: "Landscape descriptions can best reflect writing. In Kung Fu, it is difficult to describe natural scenery in an unconventional way and to integrate it with the mood, atmosphere and situation of the characters. When I was a child, I copied a lot of fragments describing natural scenery. My writing today has benefited a lot, and the blessings I have received from it cannot be expressed in words. Without these implants, my work today would never be so distinctive. The natural world is so vast that it constitutes an upanishad in itself. . Natural scenery is the natural world and it is also an important part of my works. I think it is very bad for children to read works without scenery. "The current problem of profound dimension in literature is the loss of scenery in literary works. , and then extended to the evaluation standards of literature. Cao Wenxuan believes that the current evaluation criteria for literary works are single, the Chinese classical standards are seriously lacking, and there is a phenomenon that literary creation does not emphasize enough literariness and artistry. "What we emphasize today is more about the profoundness of the content and thought of a work. Profundity has almost become or has become the only dimension of Cao Wenxuan's works in literary works. And this dimension is given by Western culture and is not something that has developed in our culture since ancient times. For example, our value system is elegance, artistic conception, etc. Our ancients always paid great attention to artistic forms, and profound thinking is not our standard." "At the same time, profundity also hides an illogical logical relationship. It is not based on beauty, but on ugliness and evil. Today's works like to write about evil because profundity is the standard. And ugliness and profundity There is such a logical inference between them." Cao Wenxuan deeply regrets the singleness of current literary evaluation standards and the lack of classical and traditional discourse. He hopes that current literature can inherit classical things and make literary evaluation standards more literary and humanistic. Cao Wenxuan's famous saying [1] Most of the books children read today are not helpful to their growth and writing. Humor is a state. Reading is a religion. The power of beauty is greater than the power of thought; no matter how profound the thought is, it will become outdated or become common sense, but beauty is eternal. Beauty is the foundation of literature, the reason for us to live, and the driving force for our sublimation. Three words to the students of Peking University: Gratitude, Emotion, and Carefulness. The first sentence is that in the face of suffering, we should be grateful. The second thing I want to say is that a life without emotion is a life of low quality. The third sentence for everyone is that this world only belongs to those who are careful. Woman, your name is literature! Support in times of misfortune, help in difficulties, understanding in loneliness, warmth and love in indifference... what moves us is the power of morality, the power of emotion, the power of wisdom, and all of this Be with the sun and moon. ——Excerpt from "Red Tiles and Black Tiles" Su Shao Edition The power of beauty is no less than the power of thought. No matter how profound a thought is, it may become common sense. There is only one thing that never ages, and that is beauty. ——Excerpted from "Thatched Cottage" Su Shao's edition. When you were young, you had a graceful attitude toward pain. When you grow up, you may become a strong man. ——Excerpted from "Bronze Sunflower" by Su Shaoban I like water - water-based. The most powerful substances in the world are not heavy and hard, but light and soft. ——Excerpted from the Su Shao edition of "Rain of Dog Tooths" Many people ask, why is there no Andersen or Green in China? When Andersen was alive, no one thought he was grand. On the contrary, he was very reluctant to be called a children's literature writer. I think this issue needs to be tested by time. A real writer does not care about the object of writing, but cares about the content of writing. Regarding the evaluation of me as a "children's literature writer", I would rather be described as someone who has written books that children can read.Anyone who knows me well knows that when I write any type of thing, I am either the first to write it, or someone else has written it much better and I think I must write my own understanding. I wrote a humorous book "My Son Pika" based on my son. My understanding of humor is not to be glib, but to be able to withstand translation, the meaning must also be ridiculous.

Social Evaluation

(1) As a representative of the fourth generation of children's literature writers, Cao Wenxuan has "melancholy and compassionate humanistic care... His works transcend children's life themes and enter the realm of human essential life." , shining with the burning flame of life and personality.” He repeatedly asked in the postscript of "Thatched Cottage·"Following Eternity"": "'How to move today's children?'... When we put forward this proposition, we brought a sense of historical solemnity and heaviness. . . . The things that can move them are the same things - separation between life and death, wandering and separation, compassion, support in adversity, help in difficulties, understanding in loneliness, warmth and tenderness in indifference. Love... what moves them should be the power of morality, emotion, wisdom and beauty, and all of these are eternal." Cao Wenxuan expressed his concern for the living conditions and spiritual world of children in his coming-of-age novels, and wrote for children in the spirit of promoting humanistic care. Cao Wenxuan's works Cao Wenxuan, a professor at Peking University who has memories of his childhood in the water town, has a dual identity as a writer and a scholar. In his words, "Academics have given me a quiet and sacred rationality that is needed both as a person and as a writer. And creation is While conducting academic research, I still maintain the necessary perception of turning stone into gold and the necessary interest in life." His literary creation and theoretical discourse formed a positive and effective interaction. His humanistic care and strong academic background gave his children's literature creation a deeper foundation. He has become a dazzling star among contemporary children's literature writers. . (2) Looking at Cao Wenxuan's works, from the literary collections "Ancestral Hall Shrouded in Twilight", "Red Gourd", and "Rose Valley" to the novels "Goats Don't Eat Paradise Grass", "Thatched House", "Red Tile" ", "Root Bird", but both of them are "cheers to the past". Some critics call it children's literature, but it seems inappropriate. When a children's literature contains eternal literary emotions and aesthetic values, it touches not only children, but perhaps all of us. . With solemn and melancholy style, poetic and artistic conception, and wisdom-filled narrative, his works present us an artistic world of truth, goodness and beauty - where there is support in misfortune, help in difficulties, understanding in loneliness, and indifference. The warmth and affection in the novel...the spiritual light presented by these contents under the care of childhood feelings touches all the people living in this world and makes our hearts shake.
