八九十年代中国儿童文学的新潮与传统

Traditions and New-Currents of Children's Literature in China during 1980s and 1990s

八九十年代的新潮儿童文学回归“五四”，继承了“五四”儿童文学“以孩子为本位”的传统精神；幼年文学、童年文学、少年文学“三个层次”的儿童文学的分类，直接激活了儿童文学的创作生产力；重建人的意识、塑造未来民族性格，极大地提升了儿童文学的价值功能与作家的人文担当。这三方面的合力，直接促进了八九十年代中国儿童文学的发展繁荣。

China's children's literature in 1980s and 1990s witnessed great development and prosperity due to the joint forces of the following three factors: ① the inheritance of the traditional spirit advocated in children's literature during the May 4 Movement; ② the activation of writers' productivity as a result of the classification of children's literature into infancy literature, childhood literature and juvenile literature; ③ the promotion of the value of children's literature and the writers' humanistic responsibility by reconstructing human consciousness and moulding national characters of the future generations.
