Narnia, not a fairy tale for Chinese children

From Narnia in the first episode of Mystery Wardrobe to the second Prince Kempins, until now the dragon ship Dawn. The intention of the Narnia series to cater to the market is becoming more and more obvious. Resident Evil is different. From the first to the fourth, a soul is firmly grasped, but the means of expression are more abundant. In the pure-bred British fairy tale of Narnia, how can there be a dragon ship in the east, a righteous fire-breathing dragon, and an evil water dragon? I haven't read the original book, so I don't know if it's the oriental elements that Hollywood added to cater to the Chinese market or the original author's understanding of dragon totem is too superficial.

The legend of Narnia accompanies the growth of almost every British child. While the mother coaxes the child to sleep with gentle stories, she also planted the judgment of right and wrong, good and evil in the child's heart. The majestic lion is the creator of the world, a totem of justice and strength. Under his care and leadership, the children defeat the enemy, drive away the evil in their hearts, complete their self-shaping, and become their own kings. This is a very good moral enlightenment education. Compared with the oriental legends of ghosts and ghosts, it has more imagination and connotation. It carries the simple morality of Christianity and sowed the seeds of freedom, light and justice in the hearts of generations of British children, and finally played a big role in the entire cultural system. Dare to say it, but at least it's a beautiful constellation like Blue Star, and I couldn't help but ask her in my heart: Can we still meet? Among the stars, she is only a small piece in the sky, but it can illuminate the light in the deepest part of the heart.

Thinking about our fairy tales back then, Snow White, Pinocchio, havoc in the heavenly palace, the little match girl, and later the Flower Fairy, the Smurfs, etc., are all difficult to carry the enlightenment of oriental culture, and are very important to the Tao, The Buddhist family failed to set up a beautiful stage in the children's world, telling the children what is compassion and what is harmony, what is harmony between heaven and man, and what is peace and quiet. Our fairy tales do not tell the children to redeem themselves and overcome the evil in their hearts, but say that the stepmother is abominable, that only peaches can be eaten if they rebel, and that children cannot be poor, otherwise they can only use matches to keep warm, and finally freeze to death on the street. Without great love, without self-improvement, and without faith, generation after generation, in addition to madly chasing power, money, and beauty, it is strange that they can do other things. Morality is higher than the law, and the law is the minimum morality. Our children lack the initial education of moral formation when they grow up. As long as they do not break the law, they have no sense of guilt, debt and guilt. As long as the crime is not known, they are innocent. , and more importantly, even the minimum laws are flexible and free. This is the status quo and cannot be disputed.

The thing that washes the utensils is that today's children watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. They have implanted a new generation of children with the concept of bullying their husbands and being unruly princesses since they were young.

According to a social analysis report by foreign media, the general idea is that Chinese people do not have their own beliefs, which leads to self-proliferation, lack of restraint, lack of unified spiritual support, and lack of moral awareness and truth awareness of one norm. Without the cohesion of religious beliefs, worshiping gods and ancestors is to seek good luck and blessings, to gain more, rather than self-restraint.

As a layman, I have also done worshiping gods and ancestors, and I feel a little sweaty when I think about it!

Let’s go back to Narnia. 3D Narnia has a good vision, but it is a fairy tale after all. The logic is a bit simple, and children can understand it. But imported things do not have deep soil in China, and even if they are added to the dragon totem, it is difficult to capture their essence and gain the recognition of the East. It's not easy to be the main creator. Dividing the dragons that the western world considers evil into good and evil is not sinful, but it may not be flattering. After watching the movie, I didn't feel much, but it reminded me of the embarrassment of Chinese fairy tales. We have lost too many things. In fact, oriental culture is a treasure. We only need to suck a little to shape ourselves. We must have the mind of Prince Kempins, know how to cherish what we have, and not regret losing. We must understand that the beauty of the East is the beauty of the East, if we don't follow other people's frowns, and if we don't learn the steps of Handan, we will be the best in the West.
