Chinese creative writing is difficult? Let’s be clear, like many teachers say – you have to read more, and only by reading more can you write articles~~ This sentence itself has a big problem.

We need to think about this from several angles: First, can reading really help children improve their writing skills?

First of all, the accumulation of good words and sentences! ——This is true, but I can guarantee that more than 80% of the "good words and sentences" that most people have accumulated through reading cannot be used in their own compositions, or they cannot show their reading skills!

This is true even for adults, let alone children who have never even thought about “why we need to accumulate good words and sentences”!

Finally, learn Chinese creative writing, you should know how the author expresses his thoughts and feelings correctly! ——Can you take a look at the current Chinese textbooks?

In addition to the texts for the first and second grade of elementary school, how many texts are written by the children themselves and have not been edited?

Fairy tales are written by adults, children's songs are written by adults, essays are written by adults, stories are written by adults... 80% of all texts are written by adults, right?

Do you want your children to understand how an adult with mature thoughts and emotions knows how to express thoughts and feelings correctly? Elementary school students, their understanding of emotions is not perfect, and they even distinguish between good people and bad people in their own subjective emotions!

They don’t have any profound thoughts and have only a vague understanding of the timeline of historical development. How can we ask them to learn how to “correctly” express their thoughts and feelings in the “adult world”? Is it possible?

Second, since reading cannot help children improve their writing skills, what is the relationship between reading and Chinese creative writing? To be precise, reading is like an ancient lotus seed buried in the mud for thousands of years.

It may not sprout and bloom immediately, but unless it rots in the mud, it will bloom sooner or later. In other words, the effect of reading is not something that can be seen immediately.

Nor will it be shown immediately in writing, but something that requires long-term cultivation and accumulation and slowly grows, and is naturally revealed in the composition.

So when others praise me, you write so well. Do you usually read a lot? I just wanted to sneer. If I am good at writing, must it be because I read a lot? But I read a lot, and I know more words.

In addition, I love to look up dictionaries, and my understanding of vocabulary is accurate. I naturally know where a certain word is more appropriate in what situation.

But frankly speaking, the effect of reading is minimal at the primary school level. Why, because you just look at what kind of compositions primary schools require children to write?

In primary school, writing "beautifully" in my opinion is not the most important thing. Writing "accurate" compositions is the key content that primary schools need to train.

Some people say that children should not write a running account when writing a composition.They should use more descriptions of this and that. Yes, the vividness of description is indeed very important, but learning to write a running account first is the most important training focus, right?

Do you think running a running account is easy to write? At least you have to have a full understanding of time, right? There must be a certain logical basis, right? Do you need to know the order?

What kind of things were done at what time and with what kind of results - this is called logical ability. Frankly speaking, our Chinese primary school teachers always think that children cannot write a running account.

The writing must be vivid and vivid, and a lot of rhetoric must be used. This is a decent article! Oh, right, primary school should have started training basic logical skills, right?

Can they write clearly the sequence, cause and effect? Will the teacher appreciate an article with confusing logic but beautiful writing? Therefore, I have always suggested that children can write a journal diary! At least it trains children's logical ability, summary ability, and judgment ability! Aren’t these basic thinking training abilities the focus of Chinese creative writing?

How come a running account is denied by some Chinese teachers?

Therefore, whether parents or teachers, the requirement for children's writing ability is too high or too biased, which is an important interference factor that prevents children from writing compositions -

"Writing beautifully" has become the focus of teachers and parents, and "writing well" has become the focus of teachers and parents.

"It's true", "it's written right" and "it's written accurately" are ignored! In my eyes, the order of children's writing training should be like this: "Write correctly" - "Write accurately" - "Write truthfully" -

"Write beautifully" first write the things or events correctly, then It is a basic logical expression training. Right or wrong is the premise and basis of expression, not "beautiful or not."

The second is "accuracy". Accuracy is the judgment of right and wrong. If this one is trained well, then you can move on to the next "authenticity" writing training.

Next is "authenticity". Authenticity involves their perception and judgment. Without the assistance of authenticity, children will not know the difference between what is real and what is imagination.

Many teachers have insufficient training in children's imaginative expression. Frankly speaking, this can be seen from the composition theme settings in textbooks - but now the Ministry of Education edition has changed, and the composition theme settings have begun to re-imagine Got it!

The last thing is "aesthetics". Aesthetics will continue to evolve with the continuous improvement of children's experience, experience, ideas, etc. If children are asked to "write beautifully" when they are very young, it will inevitably cause children to have poor vocabulary.

The words are used indiscriminately and do not convey the intended meaning! If children use bad words and are criticized by adults, it will inevitably lead to frustration in children's writing mentality!

Using "beautiful" to require children to write, which leads to children's suppression of the "unbeautiful" writing, is an important disturbing factor that prevents children from writing essays!

In addition, the lack of observation ability is not taken seriously in Chinese education, which is an important interference factor that prevents children from writing essays. Children's writing requires a lot of real-life observation and summary training.

Unfortunately, this concept of scientific writing education, which Niu Xiaoxiao in Beijing has already recognized and even written a monograph on, has not been adopted by most primary school Chinese teachers. Observation ability training is a prerequisite for writing ability training!

A teacher’s answer below mentioned observation ability training. I won’t explain it too much, but frankly speaking, in our children’s education, observation ability training still does not have a system to cultivate Chinese creative writing. This is waiting for me to finish the manuscript. Write it down and then talk about it.
