The China Children's Encyclopedia is a large, full-color, children's encyclopedia independently designed and published in China, featuring a complete knowledge framework, prominent thematic knowledge, and a structure built around illustrations with text to accompany them. It represents a reform in editorial approach and stands as a high-level achievement in children's book publishing in China today, a masterpiece of excellence. It embodies the guiding principle of comprehensively promoting quality education and demonstrates a highly strategic vision.
The five key features of this book are:
1. Knowledge Visualization: Primarily using illustrations with text to accompany them. The book breaks away from the traditional text-dominated format, employing hand-drawn illustrations as the main medium. It transforms illustrations into accompanying text, conveying a wealth of information through vivid and accurate graphics. This approach, from visual thinking to logical thinking, holds advantages that language alone cannot match.
2. Child-Centered Knowledge Structure: Easy to understand and engaging. The text has been written by editors, primary school teachers, and children's literature writers with extensive experience in children's book compilation. It has been thoroughly reviewed by children in schools to ensure accuracy, accessibility, and.
3. Focus on Enhancing Children's Life Skills: Considering the unique nature of Chinese children being mostly only children, as well as the complexity of society and the unpredictability of natural disasters, the book includes content on life, life skills, and self-defense.
4. Alignment with Children's Cognitive Patterns: Tailored to children's reading habits, the knowledge is broken down into smaller segments, allowing children to connect the dots themselves while reading.
5. Emphasis on Moral Education and Holistic Development: The book does not have a separate moral education chapter but integrates related content across different knowledge categories and illustrations, enabling children to grasp the lessons implicitly.
