A Stud On The View Of Children In Feng Zikai’s Literary Works

Feng Zikai was first known as a cartoonist,but he was also an excellent writer.In his unique prose and essays,there are a lot of words about children to express his thoughts and opinions on children’s issues.But for a long time,people only pay attention to Feng Zikai’s "children’s Literature" creation activities,and seldom analyze the children’s concept reflected in Feng Zikai’s fairy tales,essays and comics as a whole.In fact,Feng Zikai’s understanding of children is quite unique.His concept of children not only breaks away from the traditional view of children,but also retains its heterogeneity when the concept of children’s standard prevails.This paper attempts to clarify the real face of Feng Zikai’s unique view on children and explore the influence of his view on children’s literature creation.At the same time,by comparing the similarities and differences between FENGZikai’s view of children and the mainstream view of children in the same era,we can explore the uniqueness of FENGZikai’s view of children.Feng Zikai’s view of children is rich in connotation,which is influenced by the widely spread view of children’s standard during the May 4th movement,and also has his own clear and original understanding of children,thus showing an inclusive and enterprising attitude.Feng Zikai knows children from the perspective of his father.For him,the first appearance of children is "my children",so children in his vision naturally have the close modality under the blood relationship.Or in other words,he knew his own children before he knew them.Based on the attitude of "being a father",when Feng Zikai observes and imitates children,he can better understand them,sympathize with them,imagine children’s life in a position,and appeal to parents to treat their children scientifically and be qualified parents to raise happy children from practice.Feng Zikai’s literary creation,no matter prose or fairy tale works,carries out the care of children as children.At the same time,because he believed in Buddhism and believed in the power of "insulation" and "childlike innocence",he set a period of "golden age" for the children he worshipped,and did not believe that the children out of the golden age still had worshipful energy.Although this understanding has its limitations,we still need to pay attention to FengZikai’s expectation of children’s potential energy and its extension.Out of concern for children’s equality,Feng Zikai will try his best to restore the true face of children when depicting children,and strive to show children in his children’s literary creation in an untrained state,and finally present his unique children’s concept in a way that children can understand.In this process,Feng Zikai tried many ways: translating the works of famous children educationists,creating essays with children’s growth as the clue,writing literary theories to discuss children’s education,creating fairy tales to demonstrate children’s stories,etc.By combing the writer’s writing context,it can be roughly seen that Feng Zikai’s understanding of children is gradually deepened and shaped.This unique understanding is exactly the charm of Feng Zikai’s view on children.Feng Zikai’s view of children has also had a profound impact on his literary creation.All the words related to children are guided by his view of children,and the creation of children’s image and the understanding of reading children are also reflected in the words.Exploring Feng Zikai’s literary creation can better understand his concept of children.
