Abstract
First, I consider that contextualized education should expand the space for children’s development. I deeply understand that children have lives full of wisdom and emotion. The strengths and weaknesses of children’s development are determined by the different breadth and narrowness of their growth. This is linked with the growth of ginkgo, which can grow to 17–18 m tall, living for hundreds of years on the vast expanse of the earth. However, if ginkgoes are confined to small pots, they can only bend in the middle and grow to just dozens of centimeters. The trees are same, but the growth and height are different. I was curious about the reason.
