Questions from netizens
"Zhejiang people call me a unified platform" shows that some netizens left a message saying: "I am deeply disturbed by the fact that primary and secondary schools choose the content of this book as a text. Primary and secondary schools cannot promote poisonous novels."
This netizen believes that this book viciously slanders and vilifies women (its viciousness is to the point of heinousness), the plot is extremely illogical (most of the 108 people do not have the logic of going to Liangshan at all, and the author hooked it in with a big pen), and has no principle Praising the indiscriminate killing of innocents (the author has an anti-moral view that the worse the better), the degree of destroying the three views of human beings has refreshed the lower limit of human beings.
"The author's psychology is extremely dark and perverted (it's disgusting to write). He arranges a good death for Wu Song, Li Kui, Song Jiang and other scumbags, gives them infinite sympathy, and praises their evil deeds of killing innocent people indiscriminately. This is the most poisonous novel I have ever seen."
This netizen also said that two or three texts such as "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" are really good, but the original book Wu Song, Chao Gai and others are downright scum.
There are many well-written novels, and there is no need to find text materials from poisonous novels.
It is even more forbidden for any school to recommend Water Margin to students as extracurricular readings.

Response from the education sector
In response to doubts, the teaching and research section of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education recently responded: The compilation of textbooks is a very serious matter. It is related to the cultivation of the next generation of successors of the country and the future and destiny of the country. As a textbook writer, it will never be hasty. , It must be determined after several discussions and studies, and the approval of teaching materials must be carefully reviewed one by one.
For the content of "Water Margin" to be selected into the textbook, the teaching and research section of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education believes that there are three main considerations:
First, "Water Margin" is the first full-length novel written in vernacular in Chinese history.
Through reading, middle school students can appreciate works from the aspects of text language, characterization and plot design, and improve their language skills and appreciation level.
Second, "Water Margin" is a good carrier for critical reading.
At present, there is no evidence that contemporary teenagers have strayed into the abyss of violent crime, and there is a direct causal relationship with "Water Margin".
Blocking is worse than sparse, and sparse is worse than guiding. Only rational guidance is the key to solving the problem.
Third, "Water Margin" contains rich educational value, which is actually an extension of the previous two points.
In teaching, the teacher will guide students to read stories, characters, society, and human nature, and explore topics such as "disorder in temples and ideals in Jianghu". Students take these speculative topics and carry out in-depth reading under the guidance of teachers, not only Being able to enter into the depths of the text can also cultivate their individual reading and independent thinking abilities.
Reading can enrich thoughts, increase talents, and promote the modernization of people's ideas and concepts, but if reading only reads words without thinking, then reading is meaningless.
Through the process of critical reading, students can effectively screen information and "stand out" to analyze and think about the deep meaning, so that reading can play its true meaning.
Therefore, the important thing is not "what books you read", but "how to read each book well", guide your children to read in a targeted manner, and let them learn to judge. In classic books (including "Water Margin") Absorbing the essence can truly make reading a good spiritual foundation for students.

Some netizens said that there are indeed too many negative contents in "Water Margin".
And many other comments think that the netizens who raised doubts are a little worried, and the reply from the education department can "add chicken legs".

Some netizen soulfully asked: "After so many years of watching Lu Zhishen pull up weeping willows, the willows on the side of the road were pulled up? Jingyanggang Wu Song beat the tiger, did someone really go to kill the tiger?"

There are also rational netizens who believe that everything should be viewed dialectically, and ultimately absorb the essence and discard the dross.
This point of view coincides with the "critical reading" that the education department replied.
Perhaps this is the attitude that modern people, including teenagers, should hold when reading ancient literature.
