Wu Yue newspaper reporter intern Railing
Months of that year that you were reciting lessons from a teacher point, upside down on the table the book tuck CORNER, and you add the difficult word phonetic cramming. Along with your classmates recite turn the page, but you can not remember the next page is written in what, at the same table suggests claw braided girl whispered word, you have not, still stuck. That distress and dry stuffy unforgettable.
Months of that year that you, the end of final exams the last one, empty bags, "Cao Lu Guo Balao" and "Tang and Song", all will carry on! Garret under a bookshelf stuffed, or simply looking for waste collection, the old man in the alley over the weight scale, selling a few cents for the comic to see.
Shanghai Book Fair has just concluded, with children you inadvertently pass the counter Shanghai Education Publishing House, corner sweep, memory flash, it is not that month of that year language textbooks? ! But they are so new, so clean, like never used, just like his childhood, when the new semester to receive from the hands of the teacher looks like ... ...
"Unique Copy of" teaching, publishing only one or two saved
"Oh Hey, this is not the book I've used it!"
"Look son, this is my mother read the books before!"
"What a pity, ah, my previous books are thrown away, fine left behind!"
Book Fair week, readers of all ages stop here, to find his own childhood memories. Surprise Cross, put it down, take pictures of the scene almost did not stop, so "lurking" in the crowd of Shanghai Education Publishing House, duty is met.
"This is the book to sell it?" A lot of people raised in the hands of textbooks for, looking forward to ask the staff.
"This is just exhibits, original version of the cover is re-printed, which set a White. Fear of damage, so use plastic wrap." On the agency's duty to teach so often explained to readers.
Indeed, even in retaining the early 1950s to date is a complete variety of materials textbooks Shanghai Education Publishing House, is also the only remaining one or two of each material, the more years forward, the less the book version of the kind, "the only existing copies" is widespread .
Every community was to visit, and taught deputy editor Wang Yaodong sometimes people like to bring books to the first floor of the Treasury turn around. Treasury is very narrow, row row of shelves usually close together, it was visited by the manager slowly pushed along the track a little. At this time only to see the unique smell of old books, thousands of book spine style yellow one, most of the Republican era, the complete liberation of the early nineties, the primary teaching subjects, save quite complete, like a treasure wide open. Social taught formally approved in 1958, is the second country after the People's Education Press, the second of the teaching profession Press. Because long-term research and development in primary and secondary textbooks, publishing, so the community taught the joint efforts of several generations, accumulated a wealth of teaching resources.
"Can be considered a 'show off' it," Wang Yaodong explained his state of mind. What could this "show" more directly demonstrate the glorious history of the community, there is nothing better than this "collection" is more intuitive expression of the publisher of the work of several generations of respect?
In this year's Shanghai Book Fair, holding on to teach social promotion was originally published on the characteristics of the professional education community in mind, organized a group of old textbooks, "copy" display, envisioned readers would be interested, but did not expect interest to be so strong. Prior to the "re-forming the old textbook," fuzzy thinking, and eventually it seems so clear.
Version change, but the classic generation to generation
"Old books" have been hot a few years, but the heat was "entirely different", in 1949 for the sector, the liberation of the Chinese textbooks, crowded, silent silence after the liberation of language teaching materials. This silence a year ago seemed to have ice. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of founding of new China, to teach community languages on the editing room editing and publishing a "new Chinese language textbook selection in 60 years' (primary volume, secondary volume) in the market doing fine.
"The original is not to take the market over a long time, in the field of textbook publishing, the Shanghai Education Publishing House has a strong accumulation of this book is the 50th anniversary of the construction community, in addition to material published on this agency to sort out, I also want to emphasize the professional textbook publishing community. "This book is one of the editors, editorial director Xu Huanhuan the first language in the" pile of paper "and spent a year, but added a compilation of interesting.
"An era of language textbooks reflect the characteristics of an era, obviously. 1950s frugal, simple, and establishing a belief in their own hands and labor; 60 years to take on pride, self-reliance; to 70 years, a completely different an atmosphere of; each period has different demands on the materials, there are differences in content selection, a period of teaching materials like political books, political commentary a lot. There are certain periods, a separate special school textbooks, "grammar" "logical". "continuation of the community for many years to teach the materials published, stored in a deliberately being forgotten by historians a unique" literature. "
She moved, despite the difficult situation changed after more sheets, some "particularly good thing," but it can be retained, that even some can only do unspeakable understanding, from which she saw how older brains textbook writers the human spirit to retain the Chinese nation. "For example, primary school textbooks in some of the beautiful and catchy children's poetry, to the 'Cultural Revolution', edited slightly new look about them, or go into."
In addition, the cover of each volume textbook design, illustration and layout, has a unique aesthetic value. "Liu Once home, Ge Xianglan and other artists have all the materials painted illustrations. Inadvertently, you are in secondary school, primary school textbooks has enjoyed a leading painter of art." Illustration is the chicken has a step on the snow, leaving a few paw prints, although only a handful of a few strokes, but it is clear odd mood, which is a famous hand-painted.
In addition to editors, readers generally have little opportunity to get to the bottom where the text "version to learn." Appreciation, nostalgia, commemoration, review the past, reading classics, this is enough. Disappear once existed, there is already memory, an indelible memory of it. Different generations have a common memory of the warmth and clear, for example, that the first primary school textbooks, "small boat curved moon, a small twain two sharp, I sat in a small boat, only to see blue sky shining stars, "which has been slightly small twain shake for 50 years.
Fashion "local", came back to the old textbook edition is expected to integrate
Book Fair on the "water test", to promote community education on the intention to sort out after the liberation of language textbooks. But to do this also requires in-depth thinking. Indeed, readers showed great expectations, but combing the old textbook only one purpose, that is, whether it helps the current education reforms, whether to better meet the needs of teachers and students.
"Based on education, services in education, which is the principle of topics we do," Wang Yaodong said, "not out, how the are not ready yet, it is now considered pre-feasibility studies."
Reporters measure, placed in front of the education community there are several different "out" method. One for the anthology, but the concern is that this will bring the material to break in the original idea of the framework and context of the times, not "genuine"; Second, as is the booklet, but there are problems, teaching has its continuation nature, has published five sets of materials used in the back 70% of the content is repeated, "Every book is out? that our target audience is who?" officials told reporters that the idea has not yet formed a preliminary decision.
Who is the target group? Taught social aims of education does not seem to think from the outside of the other readers. Book Fair's counter, a young girl that "this book does not sell," reluctantly left, leaving the sentence: "Mom had to buy, this is her child used textbooks, readers will be very happy. "After the liberation of the old textbooks and nostalgic souvenirs, the link between the creative product, and thus the equal sign.
Nostalgia is a lingering and lasting power, but also a rich market.
"Two Girls", "Warrior," "permanent" so once the door opened and as the trade brand re-resurgence of domestic products at low tide, and even lead the younger generation of fashion.
Golden era, the years never to sing old songs are not bad, original music singer mainland concert tour each year are packed, people are willing to pay for their own youth complex.
Creative market, small grocery store, sea striped shirt, a pretty blue tracksuit always out of stock, after the 1990s were replaced by bamboo shell pressure thermos thermos bottle has made a comeback, a replica of the old soft-side laptop, yellow kraft paper documents envelopes and other stationery likable.
Old textbooks are also serious if the "local", walk creative product line, why not?
