Today I saw such a thing in the circle of friends, saying that a parent complained to the publishing house, because the "Aesop's Fables" published by the agency has a story of a crab strangling his bad snake friend. The parent believes that this story will leave a psychological shadow on his child as he grows up.
After receiving the complaint, the publisher said that it would make some corrections to the plot of the story in subsequent versions, but the ones that had already been published could not be recalled. It can be seen that the publishing house has appeared very humble, but this parent does not forgive, spent several days of sleep and forgot to eat and read through and found that "Aesop's Fables" is a "big poisonous weed", which is filled with a large number of dark fairy tales, and believes that it will leave an irreparable negative impact on the healthy growth of children, and requires the publication to completely remove "Aesop's Fables".
I don't know how educated the parent was, but I remember that the compulsory education textbook seemed to have the story of Aesop's Fables.
Aesop's Fables, written by Aesop, a freed slave in ancient Greece in the 6th century BC, contains hundreds of short linguistic stories reflecting the lessons learned and the wisdom of life of the ancient Greek people. Aesop's Fables is also considered to be another literary masterpiece that has had a profound impact on Western culture after Homer's Epic.
However, it is a pity that the original version of "Aesop's Fables" has long been lost, and the "Aesop's Fables" that is now circulating has been sorted out and revised by many writers and scholars in previous generations, which can be said to be a collection of ancient fables that bring together the fables of the East and the West.
The history of Aesop's Fables entering China can be traced back to the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when a group of missionaries led by Matteo Ricci also brought Western culture and technology into China in the process of introducing Catholicism to China, and Aesop's Fables was one of them. In Matteo Ricci's 1608 Ten Treatises on the Deformed, he quoted several fables from Aesop's Fables to illustrate his point of view, and he became the first person to translate Aesop's Fables into China.
In 1840, "Mr. Obscurantism" and "Lazy Student" cooperated to complete the "Yi Shi Yu Yan", which is the earliest Chinese translation of Aesop's Fables in English and Chinese, but this "Aesop's Fables" was mainly completed through foreign populations, Chinese writing.

Until 1902, Lin Shu cooperated with Yan Peinan and Yan Xuan to complete the "Fables of Aesop the Greek Famous Scholar", which was issued by the Commercial Press in September of the following year, with illustrations, including a total of 300 fables, which can be said to be the first Chinese translation of "Aesop's Fables" in China. At this point, Aesop's Fables began to spread more widely in China.
Presumably, friends who have paid attention to Western literature will certainly not be unfamiliar with Lin Shu, he does not understand foreign languages, but he has become a famous writer and translator in China, especially famous for translating Western novels, and his translated works are especially famous for "The Legacy of the Traviata in Paris" (Traviata) and "Black Slave Heavenly Record" (Uncle Tom's Cottage).
After the founding of New China, the famous literary scholar and translator Zhou Zuoren re-translated the Fables of Aesop based on Greek, and the 358 volumes of Aesop's Fables in this edition have also become the version with the largest number of fables so far.
"The Farmer and the Snake", "The Wolf and the Lamb", "The Crow and the Fox", "The Fox and the Grape" in "Aesop's Fables" are all well-known stories in our family.
All I can say is that people who have inner darkness see that everything is dark. If Aesop's Fables can leave a great psychological shadow on your child who is extremely honorable and pampered, I suggest that you take a complete and complete physical isolation from him. Because not only is "Aesop's Fables" full of dark fairy tales, "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is also poisonous apples and wolf grandmothers, "Andersen's Fairy Tales" is to let the little girl who sells matches feel the incomparable darkness of society, the most important thing is that there is an emperor without clothes inside, too shameless and indecent is really not suitable for your family's noble bloodline.
Oh, especially tv, every holiday, the endless "Journey to the West" in the sharp-billed monkey cheeks, fat head and big ears of the second master brother and a bunch of demons and ghosts fighting around, it is simply a group of demons dancing, more poisonous and "Water Margin", a bunch of thugs can not fight and kill lawlessly, but also openly fight against the government, is simply an incomparably huge poisonous weed, I hope you can continue to work hard to report.
The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, why is it that in the 21st century, it is still possible to give birth to such a strange parent, I don't know what kind of proud son of heaven can be cultivated under his hands in the end?
