In the auditorium of Jinghua Elementary School.

This auditorium can accommodate nearly 5,000 people, and is normally only opened every year for major events such as school celebrations or college entrance examinations.

However, in order to cooperate with the publicity, the school deliberately opened temporarily.

Today, more than 4,000 parents of the entire primary and junior high school community gathered together, so early in the morning, various departments of the school had already organized and divided the areas.

By the time Wang Shifeng and others arrived, even the name tags had been put up and they were waiting for the parents to enter.

"Principal Hu, thank you for your strong support for this event." Wang Shifeng shook hands with Principal Hu enthusiastically.

"Teacher Wang is so polite. We also hope that through this event, the relationship between parents and schools will be closer. Only family education combined with school education can children truly develop their moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills." Hu

The principal said with a smile.

"This is also my ideal." Wang Shifeng said seriously.

"I have read Teacher Wang's book. The stories are very interesting and have certain morals. It is very suitable as extracurricular reading for children under sixth grade." Principal Hu smiled, "But I heard that this book was specially written

For adults?”

"It was like this at the beginning, because the creative method used is a fable genre, which is more suitable for adults who have the ability to read and understand. Although the story is a bit childish, we hope to arouse their childlike innocence and childlike interest." Wang Shifeng said without changing his expression.

.

"Teacher Wang is thoughtful. It is true that adults now need more care and attention, especially parents. Otherwise, family pressure will indeed be brought into education." Principal Hu nodded thoughtfully.

"But I have also been inspired by you. Your stories are basically based on modern culture, but I think our country also has many ancient fables that are suitable for adaptation. I wonder if Teacher Wang is interested."

"I understand what Principal Hu means." Wang Shifeng smiled, "I chose a modern background when selecting the material, just to avoid ancient fables. There are two main considerations."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Principal Hu became interested.

"First, I am planning to promote this set of stories to the whole world. You also know that except for our country, the history of other countries lasts only a hundred years at most and does not have a very deep cultural heritage. After adapting many fables in our country, I am afraid that

They can't understand." Wang Shifeng said slowly.

Principal Hu nodded when he heard this. Indeed, in terms of cultural export, although Xia Guo has been working hard to develop internationally for decades, it has achieved little success. There are many reasons, including capital influence, cultural influence, and stereotypes.

of.

What Wang Shifeng said falls into the category of cultural influence. The cultural logic of most countries now comes from modern philosophy, and this part of philosophy is different from the local culture of Xia.

"The second reason is that many fables are actually already in textbooks, such as "Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword", "Self-Contradiction", "The Death of the Horse and the Chicken", etc. Everyone has grown up learning these stories since they were young. If I write these again

, in fact, it is easy to be contradicted." Wang Shifeng smiled and continued.

"Conflict? Why?" Principal Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a reason.

"Think about it, most of the fables in these textbooks need to be memorized and tested, and what students are most resistant to is the test." Wang Shifeng said halfway.

Principal Hu blinked and then frowned, "His, after your analysis, it seems that there is really some resistance."

Wang Shifeng’s meaning is nothing more than an allusion to the ‘sequelae’ left by exam-oriented education on students.

For most people, this kind of sequelae cannot be cured until many years after graduation and leaving school.

Even if I know "Chu Shi Biao" is good, I still feel painful when I recall it.

I only know its shape but not its meaning.

This was the main reason for resistance when I was a student.

On the other hand, Wang Shifeng's story is younger, story-based, and fragmented, which makes it easier for people to accept, although it is far behind in terms of meaning and implication.

"The morals of my stories are actually just a glimpse of the leopard. They are very simple and clear at a glance. However, our language stories are subtle and too profound. The principles contained in them are enough to last a lifetime, but they also require too high a threshold of experience."

Wang Shifeng explained it in detail.

Principal Hu nodded, "I roughly understand what Teacher Wang means. You are saying that our fables are too deep and more difficult to understand. Most people will instinctively resist things that are difficult to understand, so you use these

It's a simple and interesting story, and it's a guide from the simple to the deep, which is really well-intentioned."

Wang Shifeng smiled and said nothing.

Principal, you understand very well!

"The debate between vernacular and ancient Chinese dialects that you had with Fang Weimin at the "Poetry Conference" was also based on this idea?" Principal Hu changed the subject.

Wang Shifeng raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the old principal would not be unreasonable. "Indeed, the promotion of traditional Chinese culture for so many years has had little effect, because it is too high-minded and not down to earth."

"Aloof?" Principal Hu narrowed his eyes.

"I have talked with Professor Liu before. Xiaguo University graduates, including junior college students, only account for 8.5% of the total population. If you think about it, the remaining 90% of the population have an education level below high school. This kind of environment promotes traditional culture

, is very difficult. As for the cultural self-confidence and admiration for foreigners that are circulating in the market, it is actually only a small part of the reason. The real reason is still two words, unfamiliar." Wang Shifeng nodded and said.

"Tell me more about it." Principal Hu found it strange. For so many years, cultural inheritance and promotion has always been the top priority for their intellectuals, and this was the first time he had heard of Wang Shifeng's argument.

Because the Chinese culture is so advanced, it seems strange to most people?

This is unreasonable, isn’t it? We have grown up in this land, and the education we have received from childhood to adulthood has the shadow of traditional culture. How can we still be unfamiliar with it?

"It would be too long to explain this in detail. In fact, it needs to be verified. It is very simple. Take children in primary school and junior high school as an example. Are they more interested in classical Chinese, or do they memorize it by rote?" Wang Shifeng asked with a smile.

Principal Hu smiled and said, "Are you still talking about exam preparation?"

"No." Wang Shifeng shook his head, "I'm talking about ideas."

Principal Hu frowned.

"The most important thing about culture is not knowledge, but recognition." Wang Shifeng said solemnly, "Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said that life is education."

When Mr. Tao Xingzhi was mentioned, Principal Hu couldn't help but stand in awe, because this was the master who laid the foundation of Xia Guo's educational philosophy and could be called the "Teacher of All Times".

Everyone knows that "Failure is the mother of success, and struggle is the father of success" is what Mr. Tao Xingzhi said.

"Mr. Tao said nearly a hundred years ago that a teacher should not specialize in teaching, his responsibility is to teach people how to behave; students should not specialize in studying, his responsibility is to learn the way of life. This sentence has always been a concept that I recognize.

Because when studying becomes a burden, it naturally loses recognition and loses its vitality." Wang Shifeng said softly.

"Whether it's exam-taking or performance, it's all because of the mismatch of educational resources and productivity issues. These exist objectively and are not easy to change. We envy the quality education in developed countries, but that may not be really good.

, is nothing more than a normal phenomenon after productivity has developed."

After hearing this, Principal Hu's impression of Wang Shifeng completely changed.

Because I only met Wang Shifeng once, and I learned about this young man from Liu Hanqing's mouth, I thought he was just a genius with quick thinking and some extraordinary talents.

But after talking like this today, he discovered that this young man really had something in his mind, and his perspective and depth of looking at the problem were unique.

Although Principal Hu did not agree with many of his views, it must be said that these views did allow him to discover the other side of things! They gave him a lot of inspiration and new perspectives.

Maybe he really understands education?

Principal Hu is looking forward to the surprises that Wang Shifeng can bring more and more. "Okay, that's good, Teacher Wang. I won't interrupt you when you have a speech later, but after the speech, we must find time to have a good chat."

"

Seeing that parents began to slowly enter the auditorium, Principal Hu ended the discussion early.

"Harm, I just said it casually, and it's just a trick in the classroom. Principal Hu is flattering me." Wang Shifeng quickly declined.

"What were you talking about with the principal? Did you have such a happy chat?" Jiang Yun dared to come over after seeing Principal Hu leave. She wore a mask today, but she didn't know why.

"Principal Hu appreciates our books very much and is planning to designate them as must-buy extracurricular readings for students. With Jinghua Primary School as a benchmark, do you think our 10 million copies are not too much at all? Maybe we can compete with Huanggang Exercises

Sales volume." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.

?

What? Designated extracurricular readings?

Is there something wrong with my ears, or is there something wrong with Principal Hu?

You still have to solve the Huanggang exercises, are you crazy?

Especially when Wang Shifeng looked at the parents who were slowly entering the room, he had a smile that made people laugh.

A bad premonition once again enveloped Jiang Yun.

"Well, please pay attention. This is not a live broadcast. This is a live speech. If there are excited parents, it will be difficult to ensure your personal safety." Jiang Yun hinted cryptically.

Wang Shifeng, who was 'counting money', was startled.

"Are you afraid that what I said was too good? Parents would rush in and kiss and hug me?" Wang Shifeng also frowned, feeling that this matter was quite serious.

???

I'm worried that they will rush up and beat and kick you!
