Denmark, where Andersen lived in19th century, was a capitalist society.

In the development of the industrial revolution,

So there is a big gap between the rich and the poor,

The contradiction between the poor and the rich is very sharp.

Here are some information about him that I helped you find.

For example, objectively, he has traveled to various countries, which is also of great help to his creation.

Danish writer. 1805 was born in Odense, Fiying Island, Denmark, to a shoemaker's family, and 1875 died in Copenhagen on August 4th. 1 1 My father died at the age of, and my mother washed clothes for a living. Have no formal education. My father loves drama and can recite many Shakespeare's plays, which has a great influence on Andersen. 18 19, in order to learn stage art, I went to Copenhagen alone and got help from some enthusiastic people. However, many stage practices showed that he was not suitable to be an actor, so he tried to be a singer, and because of a bad cold that damaged his vocal cords, he had to give up his stage career completely and began to study script creation, which was also unsuccessful. 1827, his first poem "Dying Children" was published. After that, he began to write poems, plays, travel notes and essays. 1829 A Roaming on Algar Island came out and was well received by the literary world. In April of the same year, one of his light comedies, Love on the nikolayev Tower, was premiered at the Royal Theatre. 1831~1833, Andersen traveled to Germany and Italy, and published poems, travel notes, essays and novels after returning home. Among these works, The Impromptu Poet, a novel based on Italian life, is the best. Soon after its publication, it was translated into German and English.

Andersen often travels at home and abroad. He has been to Norway, Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Asia Minor and Africa, and has published many travel works. It is his fairy tales that make Andersen famous in the world. From 1835 to 1872, he wrote 168 fairy tales and stories, including The Emperor's New Clothes, which satirized the emperor's stupidity, fatuity and flattery of ministers. The Nightingale and the Princess on the Pea, which satirize the ignorance and fragility of the emperor and nobles, the Little Match Girl and the Gatekeeper's Son, which describe the miserable life of the poor, and the Ugly Duckling and She is a Waste, which reflect the unfortunate experiences and life experiences of himself and his mother.

Andersen's fairy tales clearly distinguish love from hate, and enthusiastically praise the working people and their kindness and pure excellent character; Ruthlessly expose and criticize the stupidity, incompetence, greed and cruelty of princes and nobles. His fairy tales and stories truly reflect the contradictions in Denmark's real society, with rich flavor of life, romantic color and emotional appeal. Judging from the materials, part of Andersen's fairy tales are based on folk stories, ballads and legends, and a larger part is based on real life, which he created independently from the observation of life and social life. There are various genres of works, including fables, stories and novels. Many artistic images, such as the naked emperor, the ugly duckling and Thumbelina, have become allusions in the languages of Europe and even the world. Many fairy tales have been adapted into movies, TV dramas and ballets to be shown and staged in countries all over the world.

Although Andersen's fairy tales are written for the "future generation", their meanings are extremely rich and profound, and they are also loved by adults. It has been translated into more than 80 languages. In memory of this writer, a large-scale museum was built in Odense, his hometown, to collect and treasure various versions of Andersen's works published by various countries.

The article The Little Match Girl reflects the evils of capitalist society and the miserable life of the poor.

Educating children in this era is really a "dangerous" thing. They will never be like when you were a child. When adults say it, they nod their heads like rattles.

In fact, the reading feelings of the above two students have long been predicted by scholars-Bruno Bettelheim, an American scholar who studies fairy tales by psychoanalysis, thinks that although Andersen's fairy tales are beautiful and moving, they are widely welcomed by children, but they are of little spiritual help to children. For example, The Ugly Duckling may lead children to have the wrong imagination and hope that they belong to another noble species; The Little Match Girl reflects the ruthlessness of the world and makes people feel depressed about the reality. Whether Andersen's works are really suitable for children's reading has always been debated in the West and China, and we leave him alone. I think it's important that Chinese textbooks are the biggest communication channel for Andersen's works (after all, many children only get in touch with Andersen through textbooks). Chinese teachers, the important interpreters of Andersen's works in this class, how should you teach Andersen's works today?

I hope that all teachers can read the Complete Works of Andersen's Fairy Tales, and understand Andersen and his era as completely as possible, instead of just "delving into" the text that has been cut down to "bones" (although this deletion is understandable because of space reasons).

I hope that all teachers can read Andersen in their hearts and boldly discuss your reading impressions and feelings with the students, instead of "pouring" the ideas from the teaching staff to the students. For example, you can question the mermaid princess who gave everything for love in The Daughter of the Sea-if you are feminist enough.

I hope that all teachers can treat Andersen as a living friend around them and discuss some life concepts with students on an equal footing, instead of scaring children with words like "great fairy tale writer" so that children can learn to look up from now on. For example, we can use Ugly Duckling to discuss with students how to maintain self-confidence in a difficult environment, and use Little Match Girl to cultivate students' compassion and kindness. Even if the depth of children's thinking can't be reached, the connotation of Andersen's works will plant seeds in his heart.

If so, I believe that Andersen's fairy tales can make mankind better, because Andersen said that life is the most wonderful fairy tale.

If so, I think it is the best memory of Andersen, whether it is the bicentennial of his birth or not.

If so, even by the 300th anniversary of Andersen, all of us have disappeared from the world, but Andersen can still live in the hearts of children all over the world.

Among Andersen's numerous works, China people of our generation are most familiar with The Little Match Girl. As early as 19 19, The Little Match Girl translated by Zhou Zuoren was published in the issue of New Youth 1 month. Since the 1960s, The Little Match Girl has been selected as a Chinese textbook for primary and secondary schools, showing its enduring charm. However, The Little Match Girl was read as a model for class education for a long time, and was labeled as exposing the evils of capitalist society, which not only did not conform to the writer's original intention of creating this fairy tale, but also simplified and conceptualized this rich fairy tale and weakened the strength of humanistic spirit in Andersen's works.

This article he wrote can also be reflected from his time. To further understand it, just look for the author's background.
