Information about Andersen and the little match girl

This text is a famous fairy tale written by Andersen. It tells the story of a little match girl who froze to death in the street on New Year's Eve.

Through this story, the author expresses his deep sympathy for the poor people's tragic experiences.

The text first describes the New Year's Eve, it is snowing, it is dark and cold, and the little girl is still selling matches in the street. Then, in order to keep herself warm, the little girl lit matches again and again, and saw various hallucinations from the light of the matches; Finally, the little girl froze to death.

The focus of the text is to write the illusion that the little girl saw from the light of the match when she lit it five times. Illusion is the image produced by illusion, and it is a false feeling without physical objects. People may have hallucinations when they are delirious or mentally abnormal. The little girl saw various visions by the light of striking matches, which showed that she had been frozen and hungry for a long time, was unconscious and was on the verge of death. In real life, the little girl is hungry and cold, without joy and love. She is as eager for warmth, food, joy and Christmas presents as other children, and misses her loving grandmother! These are things that she can't get at all in real life, but they are things that she urgently needs, so she had such an illusion before she died. These visions are in sharp contrast with the real situation of the little girl, setting off the little girl's pity and misery.

The difficulty of the text is the two profound sentences in the last three paragraphs. There is a saying: "They all flew away in light and happiness, flying higher and higher, and flew to a place without cold, hunger and pain." In connection with the above, this sentence means that the little girl left this world and died in a wonderful illusion. To put it bluntly, as long as a little girl lives in this world, there is only cold, only hunger and only pain. This is the author's complaint about the little girl's tragic experience.

Another sentence is: "How happy she used to be, spending the New Year with her grandmother." The first "happiness" of this sentence can be understood from the above: when the little girl died, she spent all kinds of beautiful fantasies and happiness.

The second "happiness" means that when a little girl dies, she will be completely happy, without cold, hunger and pain. Through these two "happiness", we can feel the author's repressed grief, his deep sympathy for the poor and his strong dissatisfaction with the social reality of the disparity between the rich and the poor.

The author of The Little Match Girl is Andersen. Andersen was born in a shoemaker's family. Childhood life is poor. 1835 began to write fairy tales, 1846 published The Little Match Girl. At that time, a friend sent him a letter with three pictures and asked him to write a fairy tale to match one of them. He chose a picture depicting a poor little girl with a bunch of matches in her hand and matched it with this fairy tale. This is because Andersen's mother was a beggar when she was young. Andersen said, "My mother told me that she couldn't get anything from anyone. She felt very hungry when she sat down under a bridge. She put her hand into the water and dipped a few drops of water on her tongue, because she believed it would stop her hunger. At last she fell asleep and slept until the afternoon. " This painting naturally reminds Andersen of his mother's miserable childhood. The model of the little girl in the article is Andersen's mother.

(2) Focus on understanding the content:

1. This text mentions "Eve" several times. Under what circumstances? Experience its function.

Hint: Eve is mentioned three times in the text. The first time was at the beginning of the article, and it was written that the little girl went out to sell matches on the "eve". The second time, I wrote that the little girl was cold and hungry, walking shivering in the street, watching the lights coming from other people's windows and smelling the smell of roast goose. I couldn't forget that it was "New Year's Eve". The third time was about the little girl who froze to death in the street on New Year's Eve.

The three references to "Eve" in the article are the specific time and environment where the story happened. Eve was supposed to be happy, but the little girl walked in the street on Eve, watching the lights coming in from other people's windows and smelling the smell of roast goose, and died in Eve's hunger and cold, which highlighted the little girl's misery and aroused people's sympathy and pity for her.

2. Read the following sentences, answer the questions in brackets and understand the meaning of the sentences:

Tip: These sentences with profound and difficult meanings should be read out loud from the text, grasp the key words, understand their literal meaning and the meaning in the context, that is, understand the purpose of the author's writing, that is, explain what? Express what? Expose what?

(1) "Snow fell on her long blond hair and rolled around her shoulders. It looked beautiful, but she didn't pay attention. Lights came through every window, and the street smelled of roast goose, because it was New Year's Eve-she wouldn't forget it. " What didn't she notice? What can't she forget? Why do you want to write like this? )

Tip: What the little girl didn't notice was her beautiful blonde hair, but what she couldn't forget was New Year's Eve. The beautiful blonde hair is covered with white snow flowers, which is really beautiful, but she can't care about it, because hunger and cold are around her, and what she needs more is warmth and food, especially on New Year's Eve, which is the happiest and most beautiful day of the year that people expect. In this way, we can see the little girl's longing for a better life, highlight the cold, hunger and miserable life of the little girl, and show how unreasonable that society is.

(2) "The next morning, the little girl sat in the corner, her cheeks were red and her mouth was smiling. She died and froze to death on the eve of the old year. " Since the little girls are frozen to death, why are they still "flushed and smiling"? )

Tip: This is because the little girl once felt that her soul had flown to a paradise without cold, hunger and pain. She died in such a beautiful fantasy that "her cheeks are red and her mouth is smiling."

(3) "No one knows: what wonderful things she has seen and how happy the New Year is with her grandmother." What does this sentence mean? What's the point of putting him at the end of the paper? )

Tip: This sentence means that the little girl froze to death, but no one knows that the little girl once saw a warm stove, a delicious roast goose, a beautiful Christmas tree and a loving grandmother in the fantasy of flying to heaven with her grandmother to find a life without cold, hunger and pain.

Putting him at the end of the full text makes us feel that the little girl yearns for a better life before she dies, but she can only see what she wants in the illusion, but the ending is freezing to death in the street. The beautiful illusion is in sharp contrast with the cold reality, which makes us hate the evil capitalist society and deeply sympathize with the little girl's misfortune.

Interpretation of difficult sentences

1. "She was wearing a pair of slippers when she came out from home, but what's the use? That's a pair of big slippers-so big that her mother always wears them. "

This shows that the little girl's family is poor. She doesn't have her own shoes. She goes out in the cold winter and wears a pair of big slippers. Even such big slippers have always been worn by her mother.

Dare she take out a bundle of matches and light them on the wall to warm her little hands? She finally pulled out one.

The little girl wants to draw one out of many matches and warm her hands. She didn't sell matches, but she lit one herself. Her father will hit her. Does she dare? The unbearable cold drove her to the last straw and finally pulled out one.

They all flew away in light and happiness, flying higher and higher, and flew to places where there was no cold, hunger and pain.

This is the little girl's fantasy, which shows that the little girl has only cold, hunger and pain in that real world. If you want to be "neither cold nor hungry nor painful", you can only overthrow the social system in which that person exploits others.

No one knows what wonderful things she has seen and how happy she is to spend the New Year with her grandmother.

The little girl died with a smile. When people saw her small body, they simply said, "She wants to warm up", and no one paid any attention to her. But the author went deep into the little girl's heart before she died. She has seen many beautiful things, although they are hallucinations; "How happy she used to be with her grandmother" has won the love of the world. Grandma took her to see Happy New Year, and she died with such a beautiful wish. And these are "no one knows".

Appreciation of good sentences

1. Poor little girl! Cold and hungry, she walked forward trembling. Snowflakes fell on her long golden hair and rolled on her shoulders. It looked beautiful, but she didn't pay attention. Every window was lit, and the street smelled of roast goose, because it was New Year's Eve-she couldn't forget it.

The little girl has blond hair and lovely curly hair hanging freely over her shoulders. This shows that this is a beautiful little girl. However, she has no mind to care about her beauty. All she wants is that today is New Year's Eve-the last day of the year. On such a happy and warm night, she walked barefoot in the cold and dark street, eagerly watching the lights coming through the rich man's window and smelling the smell of roast goose floating in the street helplessly. Just because she is a child of a poor family, even on such a night, she must come out to sell matches and earn some money to make a living for her family. What a poor girl! This description deeply reveals the author's sympathy for the little girl.

This is a strange fire!

This "strange" fire made the little girl see the warm stove, which made her feel warm and satisfied for a short time. In this "cold and dark night" where snowflakes are flying all over the sky, it is really valuable for a little girl who is barefoot, her feet are black and blue with cold, her legs are curled up and her hands are almost frozen.

She quickly struck a whole match to keep her grandmother. For little girls, there is no light or warmth in this world. The appearance of grandma made her miss it very much. She clearly knows that her kind and gentle grandmother will disappear as soon as the match goes out. So, regardless of everything, she struck a "big handful" of matches "quickly". This sentence reflects the little girl's strong yearning for a better life and the coldness of social reality at that time.

1. Andersen (1805— 1875): Danish fairy tale writer. Born in a shoemaker's family. Childhood life is poor. In his early years, he wrote poems, plays and the novel The Impromptu Poet. 1835 began to write fairy tales, and * * * wrote 160 articles. The Ugly Duckling, Little Klaus, Big Klaus, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Nightingale, The Little Match Girl, She's a Waste, etc. The author exposed the darkness of society and the evil of money at that time and sympathized with the suffering of the lower class. The works have rich imagination, vivid plot and simple language. If novels made Andersen famous, fairy tales made him immortal.

2. Why did the little girl's match ignite as soon as it hit the wall?

The matches we use now must be rubbed with red phosphorus coated on the matchbox before they can be lit. But the early games were not like this. They are made of yellow phosphorus and sulfur. The ignition point of yellow phosphorus is very low, and it can burn when the temperature reaches 60℃. This kind of match can catch fire as long as it is rubbed on a rough surface. The little girl in the text sells this kind of matches. Because this kind of match is not very safe, it has been replaced by the current match.

3. Fairy tale: a genre of children's literature, which uses rich expressive techniques such as imagination, fantasy and exaggeration to illustrate a truth through interesting plots.

The little match girl, a fairy tale. It tells the story of a little match girl who froze to death in the street on New Year's Eve, exposing the evils of capitalist society and expressing the author's deep sympathy for the girl's tragic experience. The author of The Little Match Girl is Andersen. Andersen was born in a shoemaker's family. Childhood life is poor. 1835 began to write fairy tales.

The little match girl was published in 1846. At that time, a friend sent him a letter with three pictures and asked him to write a fairy tale to match one of them. He chose a picture depicting a poor little girl with a bunch of matches in her hand and matched it with this fairy tale. This is because Andersen's mother was a beggar when she was young. Andersen said, "My mother told me that she couldn't get anything from anyone. She felt very hungry when she sat down under a bridge.

Andersen: (1805,4,2-1875,8,4), Danish fairy tale writer. Hans christian andersen, whose full name is hans christian andersen, was born in odense, a small town in central Denmark. He has created many literary works, but he is famous for his fairy tales. He wrote 168 fairy tales in his life. It was he who first developed "fairy tales" from childish and rough folklore and stories into beautiful literary fairy tales full of the author's inner feelings. Leave a classic model for later writers' creation. 1954, the world children's literature prize named after Andersen, the International Andersen Prize, was established at the Third Congress of the International Children's Reading Union, and it is still the highest honor in the field of children's literature.

Andersen's creation can be divided into three periods: early, middle and late. Early fairy tales are full of beautiful fantasy and optimistic spirit, which embodies the combination of realism and romanticism. Representative works include Light Box, Flowers of Little Significance, Thumbelina, Daughter of the Sea, Wild Swan and Ugly Duckling. In the middle fairy tale, the fantasy component is weakened and the reality component is relatively enhanced. In lashing ugliness and praising beauty, it shows the persistent pursuit of a better life, and also reveals the melancholy mood of lack of self-confidence.

Representative works include The Little Match Girl, dairy queen, Shadow, A Drop of Water, Mother's Story, Puppet Player, etc. Fairy tales in the later period are more realistic than those in the middle period, focusing on describing the tragic fate of the bottom people and exposing the coldness and darkness of social life and the injustice of the world. The tone of the work is low. Representative works include Dream under the Willow, She is a Waste, Nightcap of a Bachelor, Lucky Beauty and so on.

The Little Match Girl

Today is the last day of the year-New Year's Eve. It's snowing and it's very cold.

A little girl selling matches is walking in the street. Her clothes are old and worn, and she is wearing a pair of big slippers from her mother. There were many boxes of matches in her pocket, and she kept shouting, "Sell matches, sell matches!" " "People are buying holiday food and gifts. Who cares about her?

At noon, she didn't sell any matches and no one gave her a penny.

She walked and stopped at the window of a building, and the indoor scene attracted her. Oh, the Christmas tree in the house is really beautiful. The candy wrappers in those two children's hands are really nice.

Looking at the happy scene of others, the little girl remembered her sick mother and her dead grandmother and cried sadly. What's the use of crying? The little girl dried her tears and walked on.

"Sell matches, sell matches! Uncle and aunt, buy some matches! "

However, people bought holiday gifts and hurried home, and no one heard her selling. Snowflakes fell on her long blond hair and looked so beautiful, but no one noticed her.

The little girl was walking when a carriage came. She ran away in fear, and so did her big slippers. After the carriage passed, she hurried to look for shoes. Those are mom's slippers. Mom is still lying in bed. However, one can't be found, and the other was kicked away by a boy as a football. The little girl had to walk barefoot, and her feet were red and swollen with cold.

It was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the street. Finally, only the little girl was left. Lights were on in the houses on the street, and laughter came from the windows. The smell of roast goose wafted from the food store, and the little girl's stomach growled with hunger. The little girl wanted to go home, but she didn't sell any matches. How can she buy medicine for her mother?

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the streets look like thick white carpets.

The little girl doesn't eat or drink all day, so she can't walk any further. She sat down in a corner. She rubbed her red and swollen feet with her little hands, and after a while, her little hands were frozen stiff. It is really cold. If you light a small match, you can warm up.

She finally took out a match and rubbed it on the wall. Poof! A small flame came out. The little girl put her hand on the flame. How beautiful and warm the little flame is! She seems to feel that she is sitting by the fire, which is blazing. The little girl was just about to put out her feet to keep warm when the flame went out and the stove disappeared, leaving only the burnt matches.

She wiped another one, poof! Flames came out and gave off bright light. The wall was illuminated and became transparent, as if she had seen something in the room. The table is covered with a white tablecloth, which is filled with all kinds of delicious things. A roast goose suddenly jumped out of the plate and staggered towards her with a knife and fork in her back. Several loaves of bread also jumped down from the table, and one by one lined up like soldiers coming towards her. Just then, the match went out again, leaving only a dark and cold wall in front of her.

The little girl couldn't bear to light a match, but she was shivering with cold. She wiped it again. Eat! A bright flame bloomed. Wow! What a beautiful Christmas tree! This is the biggest and most beautiful Christmas tree she has ever seen. There are many colorful Christmas cards hanging on the Christmas tree, with all kinds of beautiful pictures painted on them. Thousands of candles were lit on the tree, flashing as if the stars were winking at her. The little girl held out her hand. Alas, the match went out again, and it was dark all around.

The little girl lit another match. She saw a candle rising and becoming a bright star. A star fell and drew a long flame in the sky. All the stars also fell, hanging from the sky to the ground like a rainbow.

The little girl lit another match, and the fire was everywhere, and grandma appeared in the fire. Grandma smiled at her, so gentle and kind.

"Grandma-"The little girl burst into tears with excitement and threw herself into her arms.

"Grandma, please take me away. I know you will disappear as soon as the match goes out! " The little girl polished the matches one by one in her hand because she really wanted to keep her grandmother. These matches give off strong light, which is brighter than during the day. Grandma has never been so beautiful and so tall. Grandma picked up the little girl and held her in her arms.

They both fly in light and happiness. They fly higher and higher, flying to heaven, without cold and hunger, with God.

The match went out and it was dark all around. The little girl closed her eyes happily.

On the morning of New Year, the snow stopped, the wind subsided, the sun rose and the earth was dyed golden. When the adults came to the street, everyone congratulated them on the Happy New Year. The children put on new clothes and had a snowball fight happily.

At this time, people saw a little girl freeze to death in the corner, with a bright face and a smile on her mouth. Around her, there are matches all over the ground, and there is a match in her little hand.

Excerpts from comments

Comments on touching dance dramas

Ye Junjian, a famous translator in Andersen's fairy tales, adapted this ballet based on this story of the same name. While expressing deep sympathy for the poor and hoping to reflect the cruel reality of society at that time through this fairy tale, Andersen also expressed a theme that he wanted to express but could not clearly express: the little girl still pursued happiness under extremely miserable conditions-of course, not through God! The two dances she danced with the flame girl and the warm hug she gave when she met her mother were really touching, which was in sharp contrast with the scene where she sold matches in the heavy snow and got nothing, and set off the poor little girl's deep suffering under the old social system. This reminds us that our happy life today is hard-won, and how much work we need to do. We should not just be content with liberating ourselves, but also liberate all mankind.

There is no such thing as an old man lighting a lamp in the original work. His appearance and exit not only clearly pointed out the time when the story happened, but also strengthened the contrast of typical environment. More importantly, although his actions are simple, they mainly express the deep class feelings among the poor. This shows that in this heartless world, the little match girl is not completely lonely. As for her fierce struggle with the rich man (phantom), it expressed her resistance to fate. These additions help to improve the ideological content of the original work, but also express what the original author wanted to express at that time but could not express because of the limitations of the times. The little girl selling matches is a good program.

Margot Fontaine, honorary president of the Royal Ballet Academy, is a famous ballet superstar.

The program Little Match Girl danced very well, so I decided to add the opening paragraph to my autobiography. My autobiography begins with the mirror used by Louis XIV at the French Palace of Versailles, and tells about the ballet I engaged in, the seeds I planted, the roots and the key plays, and all the way to the people of China. You actresses wear yellow hair hoods, and the audience will mistake you for China. Can they not wear yellow hoods?

The plot and performance of this program are very clear. You are lucky to have such a composer composing music. He composed very, very good music.

It is very important to create some programs suitable for children. The more you do, the better. It's not enough to continue dancing the classical things made hundreds of years ago, it's just a foundation. We live in modern times, and we should constantly create new things. Just like people are alive, we should constantly breathe. Not only for girls, but also for boys, so you can't always play the prince of the past.

The design of the dance is very good, and I especially like the street view. The lighting is good, too. I have been to many countries and have never seen such a good light. The snow scene is beautiful.
