"Lantern River and Star River" is an original fairy tale full of poetry and ecological philosophy. The story is set in Shuxi Bridge in Wuyi, Zhejiang Province, and tells how the little girl Xiaohe used a paper lantern made by herself to awaken the disappeared firefly spirit "Xiao Guangxian", so that the streams on summer nights could once again flow with warm light rivers.
The work cleverly combines local cultural elements (fluorite, rice paper, hot springs) and natural fables, and uses the contrast between "the light of taking" and "the light of giving" to gently convey the belief of protecting the ecology and respecting life - the most beautiful light is not found in the ores in the mountains, but in the heart of a child who is willing to light a lantern for a small insect.
The language is like poetry and the imagery is vivid. It is suitable for parents and children to read together, and it is also suitable as a literary carrier for ecological civilization education.
Purpose: Protect nature with childlike innocence, light up the world with giving rather than taking - the real light comes from the reverence and gentleness of life.
