Core Viewpoint - The recent seminar organized by the China Writers Association and the China Dramatists Association highlighted the innovative and artistic expressions in new children's plays, emphasizing their role in children's growth and understanding of the world [1][2]. Group 1: Artistic Expression and Character Development - New children's plays are breaking through traditional narratives, using artistic expressions to resonate with children's hearts and present complex human experiences [2][3]. - The portrayal of characters in children's theater should reflect the complexities of human nature rather than simplistic good vs. evil dichotomies, as emphasized by theater professionals [3][8]. - Examples such as the puppet play "The One-Toothed Elephant" and the physical theater "Clam, Heron, and Fish" illustrate the depth of character struggles and moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists [3][4]. Group 2: Historical and Social Relevance - Children's theater often utilizes fairy tales, but it can also engage with historical narratives, as seen in "The Cat God in the Forbidden City," which connects children with significant historical events [9][10]. - The play "Firefly Siblings' Adventure" addresses contemporary social issues like environmental protection, reflecting the current era's challenges [10][12]. - The ability of children's plays to convey historical and social messages helps children develop a deeper understanding of their cultural heritage and societal responsibilities [9][12]. Group 3: Life Education and Emotional Growth - Children's theater serves as a medium for life education, confronting themes of loss, growth, and the complexities of existence, as demonstrated in plays like "Little Butterfly's Mother Where?" [13][17]. - The narrative of "The Little Ginkgo Tree" explores themes of survival and empathy, encouraging children to appreciate the value of all life forms [15][17]. - The responsibility of children's theater creators includes instilling values of respect, emotional expression, and moral understanding in young audiences [17][18].
