Does Jay Belong in a textbook?
The fact that there are pop lyrics (明星作品) in textbooks show’s that students’ tastes are now being considered.
Yin Yue: Pop singers represent a part of our culture. That popular songs are selected for our books is a sign of progress. What’s more, this move will bring pop culture in contact with traditional culture.
Yu Kuntian: It’s not a bad idea. Pop songs in Chinese textbooks show that the authorities are trying to cater for teenagers. It may not have been a good idea to choose Jay Chou, but it is a start.
Pop songs in textbooks will mislead students.
Li Ning: It’s terrible. What we need are classics to improve our literary skills, not badly-written lyrics. As far as I am concerned, they have no place in our formal studies.
Teng Fan: I don’t think it’s a good idea. When educators include Jay Chou’s songs in Chinese textbooks, they are saying that he represents a literary standard to aspire (渴望) to. Also, including his lyrics means excluding work of more obvious merits(价值)。
