The Origin,Path and Value of Using Folk Art Form in Children's Education in Revolutionary Base Areas
Since ancient times,folk literature and art have played an educational function of advising the good and regulating the customs of the people,but it is difficult to have a foothold in the orthodox education.During the"May Fourth"period,early Marxists analyzed children's education with Marxist theory,vigorously advocated"child-oriented education"in line with children's physical and mental development,and explored the use of folk literature and art forms to present educational content.From the failure of the Great Revolution to the Anti-Japanese War period,the education of children in the revolutionary base areas gave full play to the educational function of folk literature and art through Chinese textbooks,music teaching,extra-curricular reading materials,extra-curricular activities,etc.The use of folk literature and art forms in children's education is not only conducive to the development of language ability,but also lies in the dissemination of revolutionary truth,the fusion of national identity,the shaping of the Party's image,the inspiration of struggle with the help of this kind of discourse and the popularization of production knowledge favored by children.This is a vivid practice of the combination of Marxist education principles with Chinese social reality and excellent traditional culture.
