For example, the inspiration for building a shock-proof bridge comes from the roots of a grass known for fixing river beds. And some examples also show the artistic inspiration provided by nature, and incredible architecture proves that nature and architecture are the perfect partner.

To be said, listing the biggest changes in China in recent years, high-speed rail is definitely on the list. As long as you pay attention to life around you, you cannot jump to topics related to high-speed rail. This is the main reason why I recommend this book.
This book provides a detailed introduction to the knowledge related to high-speed rail, what rails are like, what energy is used, how to run smoothly, and how to deal with bad weather... These combined with actual riding experience are impressive and can achieve good popular science results.
Interestingly, unlike children's books that usually introduce history and existing knowledge, this book is a high-speed rail plan for the next ten years. Children who grow up reading this book will add a lot of fun to read. In the blink of an eye in the past ten years, the forward look will soon turn into nostalgia. When these children become old in the future, or when they are older, they will be filled with emotion.

A particularly interesting note on the outdoor inspection of Yunnan golden monkeys.

This note comes from real field investigations. In order to track the needs of observation, zoologists gave each Yunnan golden monkey a name that matched its characteristics. They observed and recorded relays year by year and year after year, so they were able to observe their complete process from birth to death.
The book is presented in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It has both group portraits and protagonists, and the observer naturally immerses in emotions. Therefore, such an observation note becomes a legend that introduces fascinating, and the fate of the protagonist of the story (although a group of monkeys) makes people sigh.

Dolphin Publishing House
Art does not speak, it just silently displays and expresses, and the concepts behind modern art are more abstract and obscure. So, how should we explain it to our children? The "Little Steps in Art" series of books are willing to make such an attempt, divided into 5 volumes to introduce 5 modern artists to the children - Henry Mattis, Paul Klee, Juan Miro, René Margritte, and Nicky Saint-Falle. They are all representatives of a certain modern art genre.
Since most of their works are difficult to understand, the "Art Little Steps" series takes a unique approach, downplaying the genre and concepts, allowing artists to return to their childlike innocence and let their works take care of their childlike interests.

This is a picture book that you will never forget after reading it. It shows the surprises of finding small lives in life. Some children encounter crickets, while others encounter birds, kittens, puppies, caterpillars, butterflies or colorful dragonflies. The work shows children's love and reluctance to give up small animals very wonderfully. At the same time, what is touching is the teacher's "reluctance" attitude towards children and the clever way of dealing with them.
The book is called "Cricket in the Pocket", but the first third of the crickets did not appear. The author used a lot of pen to describe what the child saw in the mountains, which was meticulous and beautiful, and intoxicating. Such a long preparation also made the children's attachment to crickets later and the beans' reappearance at the end, which made them feel warm.The processing of
is amazing! Yes, the children's pockets are not just crickets, those that look good, sound, smell good, all kinds of warm, moist, soft, sweet and sour feelings, oh, and the hearts like the mother and teacher in the book are the streams that have formed the beautiful memories of childhood...

People come from nature. No matter how civilization develops, people are part of nature. The book "Mountain" uses a fantasy and mysterious style, and through the various strange things experienced by the deliveryman after he "gets lost" in the mountains, depicting the secret but endless connection between man and nature like an underground river.
The book is very similar to China's "Shan Hai Jing" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", both of which have rich imaginations about the mysterious power of nature. Monsters in the mountains are not necessarily fierce and terrifying, but can also be gentle and cute. Humans who have let go of their fear can enjoy the fun brought to us by the mountains. At this time, we can transform into cute and happy "monsters" in our hearts.
Yes, for nature, you are just as mysterious, because you have great curiosity and imagination, which can lead you to a fantasy world that nature can't reach - a supernatural spiritual world, a world constructed by your senses and consciousness.
"Wutong"
Dai Yun Text Zhang Gang Picture
1st Century Publishing Group
"Wutong" is a work with a warm nostalgic atmosphere. It tells the story of a child named Wutong who saved hundreds of Wutong trees in his hometown when he became an adult.
When I was a child, many old streets had big trees that shrouded the sun on both sides of the old streets. However, with the development of the city and the widening of the old streets, ancient buildings in the city that were worth every inch of land disappeared, and the trees were missing. On the road, the solar energy spreads oil to pedestrians without any barriers. When I went to the south, I was often fascinated by the thick sycamore trees in the city, and I was glad that I could see their swaying figures in the city.
The author of the book is a Nanjing native and a Beijinger. The book incorporates the attachment and feelings of people from both places to the old trees. The paintings of this book are realistic and exudes a nostalgic halo.
"Fox and Rabbit"
[Russia] Igor Onikov wrote
Shen Nianju translated
Yunnan Science and Technology Press
"Fox and Rabbit" was originally a Russian folk story, and the author arranged it into a brand new wordless book.
original text tells a story about "occupying the magpie's nest". Interestingly, the ones who stood out for the victim rabbit were dogs, bears, cows and chickens. For the bad guys, the foxes, this sorting ranged from strong to weak, but the one who ultimately defeated the fox was the weakest chicken. This is very consistent with the logic of folk stories. Folk stories are created by the weak to the weak. Humiliation, challenge and overthrow the strong is a common occurrence in folk stories. Of course, in this story, the chicken can win because it is not like the previous few, relying solely on brute force and intimidation, but more mindful. The most important thing is that it also has a killing weapon - the sickle. This thing is not only a labor tool for the lower-level farmers, but also a killing weapon in the hands of the Western "God of Death". How can it not be defeated?
The paintings of this book are very visually impactful. Many pictures are as shocking as posters, with the style of Eastern European comics. The scene of countless torture instruments flying out of the police certificate is like a common international award-winning comic.
"Boxing Girl"

Zhejiang Children's Publishing House
"Boxing Girl" tells the story of a little girl who was "small dry and shitted" by practicing boxing and "successful" her strong brothers and got rid of the dilemma of growth. And when she passed this stage of "difficulty" in her life, he stopped practicing boxing, but picked up his true hobbies and stayed with the piano for life.
The book is very design-oriented. It not only uses side view (forearms showing the red biceps), downward view (piano), and planed surface (beverage cup) to obtain a strong visual impact, but it is particularly worth mentioning that at the climax of this book, that is, "Little Dry Branch" won a boxing match. The previous article lays the foundation, but on this page, it uses the full red and explosive texture and the sentence "She won the match".
And readers will find that the loop lining after opening the book is the picture on the climax page. This way of handling not only avoids the violent scene that is not suitable for children's books, but also achieves a stronger visual effect by "silence is better than sound".
"The Secret Event of Harris Burdick"

Guangxi Normal University Press
The uniqueness of this book is that there is only one such book in the world: its author fictionalizes a story, and says that the illustrations in the book are all left by an anonymous author thirty years ago. After leaving the fourteen drawings to the editor, he disappeared without a trace. No one knows who this person is, what exactly are these fourteen drawings drawn!
The author tells the truth, which makes people fooled at first reading, and is extremely interested in this fictional story and the fourteen paintings in the book. The unique mysterious atmosphere of these fourteen surreal paintings makes it difficult for young readers who understand them to continue writing the fourteen "lost" stories.

Xiao Mao, translated by
Guizhou People's Publishing House
The author of the book Singh is the Nobel Prize winner in Literature and is also one of the few writers who "cross age" to create for children. Singer has his own view of children's literature - "I don't believe that most fairy tales and stories are written to educate people to understand what principles. This is a good thing, because once the story is written in an educational manner, you can foresee what it will say."
Therefore, although Singer's children's stories have a background of Jewish culture, they are simple and easy to read and have the simple beauty of folk stories. The illustrations of this book were drawn by American picture book master Sundak, which is perfect with the story.
