Features: This is an old textbook buried in the years. It has been unearthed today because it may still hold certain value. For the benefit of today's students, while preserving the original book's appearance, it includes simplified characters and punctuation. The textbook uses fables, jokes, nature stories, life stories, legends, and children's folk songs to enhance students' reading interest. First published in the 1930s, it was one of the earliest textbooks written in vernacular Chinese, influenced by the May Fourth New Culture Movement. When writing language textbooks for children, it is essential to focus on cultivating their reading and writing skills, so the material must align with the principles and procedures of language training. However, this is not enough. Primary school students are children, and their language textbooks must be children's literature to capture their interest, make them enjoy reading, and thus develop their multifaceted intelligence.
