摘　　要：Purpose:This study explores a novel approach to compiling life-oriented moral textbooks for elementary schools in China,specificallyfocusing onMorality and Law.Design/Approach/Methods:Adopting Aristotle's Poetics as its theoretical perspective,this study illustrates and analyzes the mimetic approach used in compiling the life-oriented moral education textbook,Morality and Law.Findings:The mimetic approach involves imitating children's real activities,thoughts,and feelings in textbooks.The mimetic approach to compiling life-oriented moral textbooks comprises three strategies:constructing children's life events as building blocks for textbook compilation,designing an intricate textual device exposing the wholeness of children's life actions,and designing inward learning activities leading to children's innerworlds.Originality/Value:From the perspective of Aristotle's Poetics,the approach to compilation in Morality and Law can be defined as mimetic.And the compilation activity in the life-oriented moral education textbook also can be described as a process ofmimesis.So this article presents a new approach to compile moral education textbooks and an innovative way to understand the nature of one compiling activity.
