Parent, child and state in Chinese children’s books
journal contribution
posted on 2015-07-22, 00:00 authored by L Bi, Xiangshu FangXiangshu Fang, Clare BradfordClare BradfordThe representation of the relationship between parent and child, the moral cornerstone of Chinese society, is uniquely influential in Chinese children’s literature. After an extended period of almost two thousand years during which depictions of this relationship were static and unchanging, the beginning of the twentieth century ushered in a dynamic series of changes which responded to political needs. In this study we focus on these changes, examining four distinctive periods: the pre-modern dynastic period until 1911; the Republican and Nationalist phase from 1911 to 1949; the phase of Mao’s socialism from 1949 to 1976; and the post-Mao phase from 1976 to 2000.
