1. What is the original text of the first-grade textbook “Firefly”?

The sky was filled with stars shining above the treetops; in the darkness, all around were the dark shadows of the trees; only a pool of water to the east, in the breeze, wrinkled the stars in the sky into wisps of silver waves, reflecting some of the light.

The reeds and rice fields by the pond were also dark, but the swaying of the reeds in the wind could be vaguely identified; the grass beneath the reeds and by the fields was the birthplace of fireflies.

They rose from the bushes one by one, flickering white lights, like the stars in the sky, moving one by one. The most interesting thing was that although these white lights were running around, they also had some signs of chasing each other: sometimes one flew in front and lit up, and the other would chase it, but the one in front suddenly disappeared, or flew over the water and mixed with the starlight in the water; or flew into the reeds and rice fields and was covered by the branches and leaves, so the chaser lost the target and hesitated to change direction.

Sometimes they are chased by other fireflies. And there are often more than one pair of fireflies chasing each other, so the white light on the water and rice fields, which is bright and dark, up and down, is as numerous as the stars in the sky; especially on the water, the silver waves are reflected, which is very interesting.

2. What are your thoughts after reading Firefly by Ye Shengtao?

This is a children's song about objects. The poet captures the characteristics of fireflies from the beginning: "lighting lanterns" and "flying"; the former is static, and the latter is dynamic.

Then the poet used four "fly" in a row to introduce the activity time and place of fireflies. The last two sentences echo the first two sentences, and once again bring out the two characteristics of fireflies: movement and stillness. The whole nursery rhyme is consistent from beginning to end, and the verses are short and lively, full of movement and charm.

3. Who wrote "Firefly"?

Grave of the Fireflies is a semi-autobiographical short story written by Japanese novelist Akihiro Nosaka based on his experience in World War II. It was published in Oru Reading in October 1967, and the following year it was combined with another work American Sargassum and published as a book American Sargassum: Grave of the Fireflies. In 1967, the novel won the 58th Naoki Prize. In 1988, it was directed by Studio Ghibli's Isao Takahata and adapted into an animated film of the same name, which was released in the theaters of Toho Co., Ltd. in Japan. It was also adapted into a TV series in 2005 and a live-action movie in 2008. The title of the work does not use the Japanese character for fireflies, which is often used to represent fireflies, but uses the homophone "火垂る" to represent it, intentionally highlighting the meaning of fireflies as fireballs. In Japanese culture, fireflies symbolize the human soul, which is described as a floating, swaying ball of fire, and fireflies are similar to it. His major works include "Yellow Master", "Grave of Fireflies", "American Sargassum", etc. In addition, Nosaka Akiru also created war fairy tales such as "Kiku and the Wolf" and "Two Walnuts".

What are the lyrics of "Firefly" in the Grade 4 and 6 music book?

Fireflies Fireflies fly slowly in the summer night. The summer night wind blows gently. Children who are afraid of the dark, sleep peacefully. Let the fireflies give you a little light. The burning small figure illuminates the direction for the travelers on the night road at night. The short life strives to glow, and the dark world is full of hope. Fireflies Fireflies fly slowly. My heart, my heart is still chasing the lights of the city. The flickering lights, who else will remember you burning light. Fireflies Fireflies fly slowly in the summer night.
