编剧刘毅发帖列举了20多篇被删除的课文。其中涉及鲁迅[1]的作品多篇,比如、《药》、《阿Q正传》、 因此刘毅称之为"鲁迅大撤退"。
20多篇经典课文一列出来,既让网友开始怀念起那些熟悉的字句,也让网友感慨,更有网友质疑,既然是"经典",为何要撤?
很多网友认为,删除大量经典作品无论对于老师教学还是学生学习都不利。一位 "阴网友为鲁迅"叫屈":"为什么鲁迅先生被踢掉这么多好的文章,从小他的文章就是重点学习的内容,现在突然大转变,真的是对学生好吗?"
一网友生气地表示:"为什么《药》会被踢出来?!当年它带给我的震撼是相当大!?"
但也有相当部分网友支持新语文教材。一网友说:"很多文章到现在确实没有意义了,应该更换。“
记者了解到,开始于本世纪初的普通高中新课改,率先在广东、海南等四省启动,按教育部规定的时间表,今年,重庆、四川、贵州、西藏、甘肃等也陆续进入普通高中新课程改革实验阶段。 与此前相比,新课本"现当代作品及外作品54篇,其中新选课文35篇,占总数的64.8%。
散文方面,则有巴金[2]的《小狗包弟》,这篇文章选自巴金的散文集《随想录》。该散文集中的许多文章是巴金用"自我忏悔的形式,从反省自己的软弱开始,逐渐进入对全民族的灵魂的拷问"。这是巴金写《随想录》的一个重要特点。
而古代诗文也新增了诸如柳永[3]的《望海潮》、杜甫[4]的《咏怀古迹》、辛弃疾[5]的《水龙吟》等作品。
小说部分,则选入了作家余华[6]的《十八岁出门远行》。这是一篇‘荒诞小说',写的是一个18岁的年轻人第一次走出家门在外面的遭遇,全文都在用一个18岁孩子的口吻进行叙述。阅读这篇小说的高中生也差不多处于那个年龄阶段,所以他们会觉得有同感,读来很亲切。
Screenwriter Liu Yi published a list of more than 20 literature pieces which will be emitted from study texts. Among these pieces there are quite a few texts by Lu Xun, such as "Medicine" and "The True Story of Ah Q", therefore Liu Yi calls it "the big removal of Lu Xun". More than 20 classical texts appear on the list, already making some internet surfers cherish such well known words, respond with excitement and call in question: 'Since these are classics, why remove them?'
Many internet surfers believe that removing a large number of classical art pieces is unfavorable for both teachers and students. One surfer, named Yin, protest on the injustice concerning Lu Xun: "How come so many of Mr. Lu Xun's pieces are being kicked out; from childhood his pieces consist a focal point of the study material. Is this sudden transformation really good for students?!"
Another surfer expresses with anger: "Why was "Medicine" kicked out?! It really shook me that year!"
Still, a big portion of students support the new literature teaching material. One surfer says: "Many texts are already meaningless nowadays and therefore should be replaced."
Reporters discovered that since the reform in the beginning of this century, the material for courses of ordinary high schools was changed in Guangdong, Hainan and four other provinces. This year, according to the timetable issued by the Ministry of Education, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Tibet, Gansu and more provinces are also included in this phase of the reform in the curriculum in ordinary high schools, one
after another.
Compared to past times, the new textbooks include 54 contemporary literature pieces and foreign texts, among which 35 are new chosen texts, consisting 64.8% of all pieces.
Concerning prose, Ba Jin's "Small Dog Surrounds Young Brother", taken from Ba Jin's collected works "Random Thoughts", is included. Many of the pieces in this prose collection are a mode of self confession, from self sensitive introspection they gradually become interrogation of the soul of our entire nation. This is the major characteristic of "Random Thoughts", written by Ba Jin.
In addition, ancient poetic prose has also been newly added, like Liu Yong's "Looking at the Sea Tide", Du Fu's "Poetic Thoughts on Ancient Sights", Xin Qiji's "A Chant for the Shuilong (a type of water plant)" and other pieces.
In the novels section, Yu Hua's "Leaving Home at 18" has been admitted. This is an 'absurd novel', written about an encounter which an 18 year old experiences, on the first time he leaves his house. The entire piece is written in the language of an 18 year old, who narrates his story. High school students reading this novel belong to the same as group as the protagonist, therefore they could sympathize and feel close to him.
