Dear little friends: Another passionate summer is upon us, and once again, a book filled with delightful writing appears before you. This series of categorized writing books consists of four volumes. Selected from different perspectives and formats, it fully reflects the spirit of the New Curriculum Standards for Chinese. The content is fresh, engaging, and aligned with the training programs of Chinese language textbooks across various regions. It is as if a sunlight illuminates the path of writing for young children.
Little friends, you may ask: Why can the authors in the book write such real and touching essays? Let me tell you that when writing essays in daily life, you should also be like children's paintings—unique, creative, unbound by form or subject. Speak what you want to say, write about what you want to write. Although your essays may have some grammatical errors, they are filled with the innocence and charm of childhood. These essays should be protected and cherished by teachers and parents, and they can truly become an oasis in your life, a blue sky in your spiritual world, and a little secret in your heart.
From this series, we see: The descriptive essays by young authors highlight the careful observation process, focusing on character portrayal and the depiction of noble hearts. The narrative essays feature rich and varied plots with sincere emotions. The descriptive essays skillfully capture the characteristics of things, using imaginative creativity to transform still scenes into vivid ones. The object essays are substantive and well-organized, simple yet lively, leaving readers with a sense of fun and a lasting impression. The imaginative essays reveal children's creativity and imagination, offering a vast space for free thinking. The travel essays reflect the young authors' admiration for nature and their longing for a better life, with cleverly crafted ideas and profound themes.
From these essays, we can draw a conclusion: Children's writing should observe the world with a unique perspective of innocence and engage in bold and magical imagination. Write about the special things you see and the thoughts that come to you in an instant. These young authors observe things from such a unique angle, and many great writers also write with a pure, childlike heart, creating works that we love to read again and again—such as Grimms' Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen, and Harry Potter by British author J.K. Rowling. Why do these works resonate with us, why do we read them over and over? It is because the authors remain close to life, filled with a strong interest and curiosity about life, which creates conditions for them to make more and special discoveries.
These detailed descriptions give us a sense of being there, as if the events are unfolding right before our eyes. Without the authors' meticulous observation, the writing would not be so vivid.
In this preface, we also want to tell the little friends that another important condition for writing is—reading must be accumulated. Writing uses language, so effort must be put into accumulation. Many regions are now experimental zones for curriculum reform, and the textbooks used are compiled under the guidance of the curriculum standards. The basic training in each unit has been changed to "accumulation and application." Here, accumulation means expanding students' reading horizons and increasing reading volume—reading more, reading well, reading good books, and reading entire books. Encourage students to independently choose reading materials and extract beautiful sentences, memorize excellent passages, proverbs, maxims, idioms, allusions, classical poems, and couplets from these materials. Apply them to their spoken and written language. Over time, these can be transformed into their own language, and when writing, they will be able to write effortlessly, with vivid descriptions of scenes, lifelike character portrayals, and imaginative worlds filled with childhood charm. Their writing skills will improve day by day.
Reading is the foundation of writing. Without reading accumulation, there can be no free expression. The saying "thick accumulation, sudden breakthrough" proves the importance of reading accumulation.
Little friends, the end of the road is not where the treasure lies; the treasure is right under our feet. Take every step carefully, write every essay well, with sincerity, innocence, and wisdom, and you will gain life experiences and write more beautiful essays. Remember: Writing about what others have written is repetition, but writing about your own experiences is the joy of discovering treasure.
