Analysis of Text Selection and Arrangement Optimization Strategies for Mythological Texts in Primary Chinese Textbooks

神话不仅是先民对世界的认知与解释，还蕴含着丰富的精神内涵与文化信息，具有极高的文化价值，是传统文化精髓的重要承载方式。本文通过对人教版、苏教版、北师大版和部编版小学语文教材中神话类文本的梳理分析，发现其存在类型分布失衡、年级分布集中、人物形象性别比例失衡及不同版本内容呈现各有侧重等特点。基于此，提出应提升神话类型多样性与均衡性的优化策略，如丰富创世神话呈现形式、增加悲剧神话比重并合理分布各类神话；平衡神话人物形象性别比例，增加女性神话人物比重；优化不同版本内容整合，提供对比阅读材料等编排优化策略，以提升神话教学质量，传承文化并促进学生发展。Myth carries the essence of traditional national culture and has high cultural value. It is not only the cognition and explanation of the ancestors to the world, but also contains rich spiritual connotation and cultural information. By combing and analyzing the mythological texts in the Human Education edition, Su Education Edition, Beijing Normal University edition and Ministry edition of primary school Chinese textbooks, this paper finds that there are some characteristics, such as unbalanced distribution of types, concentrated distribution of grades, unbalanced gender ratio of characters and different versions of content. Based on this, it is proposed that optimization strategies should be introduced to enhance the diversity and balance of myth types. These strategies include enriching the forms of creation myths, increasing the proportion of tragic myths and distributing various types of myths more reasonably; balancing the gender ratio of mythological characters by increasing the proportion of female mythological figures; and optimizing the integration of different versions of myths by providing comparative reading materials and other editorial optimization strategies. These measures are aimed at improving the quality of myth teaching, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting students’ development.
