Let's talk specifically about the aesthetic characteristics embodied in Pinocchio:
1 flamboyant fantasy. Puppets can become little boys, and their noses can be flattened. All the mythological plots of human childhood will be shown in individual childhood, such as the animism in Pinocchio. Everything Pinocchio saw was like the world in the eyes of prehistoric humans or 4-year-old babies.
2 shows growth. To lie or not to lie is a question. Looking at this problem from the perspective of the adult world will produce a long speech. "Children's literature takes goodness as beauty (Professor Wang Quangen's point of view)", children just shouldn't tell lies. As for all is fair in war and white lies, that is not something in the children's world. Pi Nuo Qi became a real child and got rid of the habit of telling lies, which reflected his growth. There are also qualities such as hard work and caring for others, all of which are realized in a series of adventures.
