Prince? Princess? Or witch? magic? Is it love? Affection? Still brave? strong?
Of course, if you think of plasma alien beast erotica. So, welcome to the world of dark fairy tales.
In fact, there are no fairy tales in this world. If you show them more to children, they will become fairy tales.
The ancient "Cinderella" is the oldest fairy tale known today. The rudiment of this story can be traced back to ancient Egypt in the first century AD. It tells the story of Rodpis, the woman of Strabo. It can be said to be a fairy tale. The evolution of "Little Red Riding Hood" is even more dramatic. An American wrote the book "The Variety of Little Red Riding Hood", which details the evolution of the Little Red Riding Hood story. The story of Little Red Riding Hood was originally to warn girls to beware of perverts and protect their virginity. Yes, the big bad wolf is the pervert.
The word fairy tale, like many vocabularies we use now, originated from Japan and was introduced to China after the New Culture Movement. The Chinese have not had the concept of fairy tales since ancient times. The term childishness is even more derogatory. "Thirty-one Years of Zuo Zhuan·Xianggong" records "So in the 19th year of Zhaogong, there is still childlike innocence, and a gentleman knows that he cannot end." The childlike innocence here refers to the innocence of adults. In ancient and modern times, children at home and abroad have to learn to become adults from an early age. Starting from primitive humans, the growth rate of tribal children is related to the tribe’s survival. Boys must hurry up to pick up spears, girls must hurry to breed offspring. Therefore, whether in China or the West, in ancient times, children did not have special treatment. In traditional society, children were ignored, and even adults believed that children with innocence were worthless.
In such an environment, the so-called "protecting children's young hearts" is almost nonsense. No one cares about saying that certain things cannot be seen or known by children. In such a society, it is impossible for a literary work to be read specifically for children. Most European fairy tales before Andersen cannot be called fairy tales at all.
Andersen, the fairy tale king. Why did he get this status, because he pioneered the form of fairy tale writing. He compiled the widely circulated folk tales in Europe, adapted them, or made originals based on them. Let the literary form of fairy tales be accepted by people all over the world. It can be said that Europe did not really develop children's literature until the 19th century (note that the original collection of fairy tales in this film was formed in the 17th century).
Okay, then the question is, what are the so-called fairy tales before the 19th century? ?
It is a folktale. So, what kind of existence is folktale?
They haunt the tavern. The drunk sailors told the story of a certain distant sea prince who discovered a legendary mermaid. (Hai’s daughter)
It haunts the brothel. The prostitutes enthusiastically told the story of a certain duchy's king who incested his own daughter and caused the queen to be jealous and revenge. (Snow White)
It haunts the barracks. As the knights scrubbed their armor, they talked about the joke that the king's daughter who was disguised as a woman was unconscious after being raped by his servant. (Sleeping Beauty) As
you can see, these stories are entirely the world of adults. Why are fairy tales troublesome with male and female subjects of princes and princesses? Do kids really like to listen to these? Not really. The reason is that these stories were originally chats between adults. Adults, of course, like to talk about men and women, especially the private lives of gossip aristocrats, and they are full of fun. We are familiar with "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", which has been revised seven times before and after, in order to continuously delete the violent and bloody content of the love of men and women that the adults in the original story talked about.
Having said this, we should have discovered that the so-called black fairy tale is a false proposition at all. Rather than saying that the original story is a dark fairy tale, it is better to say that the later fairy tale is a whitening story. These stories are not originally written for children, nor do they have any educational significance at all.
With the continuous development of the world and the continuous improvement of thinking, people realize that children are a special group and should be protected. They need to understand the world, but can't directly throw them into this cruel world. As a result, people adopted some deliberately adapted stories. Tell the children some truth and instill some good things in the children. This is all based on the protection of children, I hope they will spend their childhood happily.
When I was young, kindergarten teachers would always say: Children, through the story of the ugly duckling, what have we learned! Yes, just believe in yourself.
However, people will always grow up, when we bid farewell to fairy tales, and bid farewell to childhood. We became adults. So we cried and found that the fairy tales were all deceptive.
Being sincere to others always suffers, and working hard but always hitting a wall. The one I love, he or she, has not lived happily with me ever since.
why? Why is it so, why is everything totally different from the stories I saw when I was young?
We are eager to know the answer, so naturally. We followed the vines to find the true colors of those fairy tales. As excited as discovering a new world.
I see! It turned out to be like this! The original story is like this! These stories that originally belonged to adults are finally presented in the hands of us who have become adults. Very good taste. We have seen the real world we live in, and we have seen the real humanity we are familiar with.
It is not a black fairy tale that is dark, but this cruel real world.
