Chapter 779 Why do we need fairy tales
There are two types of people in the world, one who has read Lin Han's works, and the other who is preparing to read it. .
In the editorial department of Renmin University Press, these editors all forgot their jobs, and almost all were immersed in Lin Han’s new book “Charlotte’s Net”!
People who read a lot of books will naturally be able to see the meaning of it at a glance, so when they read the works one after another, the sound of breathing sounds one after another.
If they hadn't seen the specific content, they would never have thought that a pig would have such a deep friendship with a spider.
Maybe the spider wanted to catch the piglet, but unfortunately the net it woven was not big enough; maybe a spider was accidentally stepped on by the piglet, and he survived bravely and completed the work of weaving; or Charlotte, the spider, used the woven web to exchange for something with the piglet.
In short, it is hard to imagine that Charlotte would sacrifice his life to save Wilbur the pig!
Friendship is to stand up in times of difficulty. This kind of incomplete content is not at all in fairy tales. Lin Han’s delicate brushstrokes allow these adults to see the moving friendship and give them deep thoughts about life!
Similarly, Liu Jun, who once served as editor of Lin Han's first novel "I, Robot", also saw a completely different Lin Han.
The narrative style is completely fairy tale-oriented and full of childlike fun!
While retaining his humorous temperament, this science fiction master uses the simplest, most direct and most easily accepted words by children.
Lin Han's description of characters' actions, language, and psychological descriptions are very consistent with the physiological and psychological characteristics of children, and vaguely reflects the fresh and lively narrative characteristics.
Like Wilbur of Pig, sending the little girl Fin to school, accompanying her to wait for the school bus, and taking a walk with her. Fen put Wilbur of Pig in the stroller, and the piglet hiding in the grass and urging the soil with her nose, these childlike text contents can make the editors feel relaxed and happy!
Liu Jun was already a little regretful at this time. His child was already in high school, otherwise he could also read this novel.
The plot of "Charlotte's Web" is very simple, but Lin Han uses a few words to outline the pictures between the Spider Charlotte, Wilbur of Pig, Pelton of Mouse and Fen, which is full of picture.
[You have always been my friend, and this thing itself is an amazing thing. I have made a net for you because I like you. Besides, what is life? We are born, live for a while, and then die. As a spider, it is meaningless to just catch and eat fly for a lifetime. By helping you, it may be able to enhance the value of my life. Everyone knows that people or should do something meaningful!]
【I don’t think staying in one place will definitely be friends.】
[Wilbur will never forget Charlotte. Although he loves her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, none of these new spiders can only replace Charlotte's place in his heart. Charlotte is incomparable!]
[Wilbur often thinks of Charlotte. Several spider silks from its old net are still hanging at the door. Every day, Wilbur stands there, looking at the broken empty net, and his throat is choked. No one has ever had such a friend, so affectionate, loyal, and capable.]
These sentences are all very touching, especially since Wilbur became the guardian of Charlotte's descendants, no one can replace Charlotte!
"I don't know what to say. Lin Han is a genius." A female editor's voice was a little choked. She was probably the one who could understand Charlotte's mood the most.
Another person sighed: "Is this love or friendship?"
"Lin Han is so bold and meticulous that he dares to let a spider become the protagonist. After this book appears, I'm afraid some people will fall in love with spider!"
Because the image of spiders is ugly and poisonous, it often appears unexpectedly around you. Most of the first reactions people see spiders are to kill them, regardless of whether they are harmful or beneficial.
Many girls even get scared and scream after seeing spiders, but Lin Han's book will undoubtedly reverse the image of spiders in people's hearts.
He made Charlotte, a spider rich in cultural knowledge beyond ordinary animals. She could actually write human words and words on the spider web with spider silk!
With a calm mind, peaceful demeanor, and unusual compassion, Charlotte's attitude towards Wilbur was more than anyone could imagine, and she was also a strong mother.
...
Lin Han was not idle at this time. While he was reading fairy tales by the editors of the publishing house, he wrote a long post on the computer, which was a vaccination for readers.
"Why do we need fairy tales?"
In this long post, Lin Han talked about his own point of view. He felt that fairy tales are not only useful to children, but also to adults!
[Fairy tales are like a magical mirror, reflecting the inner world of human beings and reflecting the path of our journey from childishness to maturity.
Betelheim believes that fairy tales convey the experience and wisdom accumulated by mankind in symbolic language, revealing many basic truths about life and willfulness. He said: "With any other type of story that children can understand, we can learn more about human inner problems and more correct solutions to the dilemma from fairy tales."
The charm of fairy tales lies in the fact that children gain rich personal significance from fairy tales, and the story promotes their self-construction!
We cannot guide a specific fairy tale at which age is most important for a particular child. Therefore, the best way is to let the child choose fairy tales themselves instead of adults interfering in their affairs.
Parents usually start by telling children fairy tales they liked when they were young or now, and explaining fairy tales to their children will damage the charm of fairy tales.
Fairy tales are actually never lie, even if they always happen a long time ago, even if the characters in fairy tales are either good or bad!
Before the 17th century, there were no fairy tales in the world. Before the fairy tales appeared, children heard folk legends and rural secrets full of dark atmosphere.
Children understand what they should understand and don’t understand. The boundary between understanding and not understanding is one of the active guidance of adults, and the other is to ask children to understand themselves.
Fairy tales play a proper role in self-understanding, highlighting the basic conception of good and evil, right and wrong, life and death, beauty and ugliness, and the space left is enough to make children start thinking about life!]
