Haiyan Heqing Four O’clock Days

  Chapter 1 Preface—For Readers

  To readers:

  Children’s literature is an indispensable part of every era, and even plays a role in the education of the thinking and culture of young people, and it should be the correct guidance for young people.

With the continuous development of society, the cognitive and maturity of today’s teenagers and children are far beyond the past, but they are often half-understood, and even have a certain understanding deviation. Then children’s literature should especially become a kind of establishment of three correct views for teenagers and children, and cultural recognition. Knowing that the model plays a positive guiding and educational role, progresses and develops with generations.

  Chinese excellent traditional culture, this is undoubtedly a subject that continues to change with the times and is still enduring. Traditional Chinese culture has the characteristics of being broad and profound, and has a long history. Under the continuous precipitation, refinement, and modern critical inheritance of traditional culture, "taking the essence and removing the dross", the excellent parts of traditional culture have been retained and developed.

  Excellent Chinese traditional culture can undoubtedly play a correct role in guiding and educating young people. It is a precious and rich life mentor.

Among them, the twenty-four solar terms and traditional festivals, as a cultural combination of piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, traditional Chinese medicine, farming culture, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, are the essence and crystallization of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and they are irreplaceable. , Has never derailed from social development in thousands of years.

  Twenty-four solar terms and traditional festivals are therefore also the most suitable guides for bringing contemporary youth and children into the hall of Chinese excellent traditional culture. It is the most suitable subject matter for cultivating contemporary youth and children's interest in Chinese excellent traditional culture.

  The anthropomorphization of the twenty-four solar terms and traditional festivals is the product of my bold thinking. The anthropomorphization can make the culture "live", make it more vigorous, and adapt to the new ideas and requirements of modern development.

Anthropomorphization makes traditional culture more agile and easier to be accepted by young people and even readers of all ages. It can cultivate young children’s interest in Chinese excellent traditional culture from an early age, and can better reach people of all ages and social classes. Chinese people, even international friends, and the international community spread the excellent Chinese traditional culture and make it flourish in the new era and around the world.

  China’s excellent traditional culture is the source of our Chinese nation’s national pride and the foundation and soul of our Chinese nation’s national spirit. It is worth inheriting and must be inherited.

  As the masters of the future of society, contemporary youth and children are the future of the motherland and the future of the Chinese nation. Correctly oriented children's literature is what we can do to contribute to the future of the motherland.

  As the “new youth” of the motherland, I have personally experienced from the social environment I am in, the great influence of the excellent Chinese traditional culture on the new era and the new generation of young people.

Excellent traditional Chinese culture has its own significance of advancing with the times in different social backgrounds and eras, and will be continuously given new meanings under different social backgrounds. It will always have its unique charm and irreplaceability. It will fall behind the times, and will not be submerged in the scouring waves of the changing times.

  So, as the sons and daughters of China, we should not let it disappear in the passing of time.

  Allowing contemporary young people to draw nourishment from the excellent Chinese traditional culture is the best gift given to contemporary young children by children’s literature.
