Features: China is a world-renowned ancient civilization, and its splendid traditional culture has become a shared spiritual treasure of humanity. With the progress of the times and the ever-deepening exploration of nature and understanding of society, people are more urgently than ever before in need of uncovering the treasures of traditional culture, drawing upon more wisdom and spiritual strength for self-improvement and self-enhancement, thereby achieving success. There are many classics of traditional culture, which raises the issue of priorities and selection. It is not advisable to promote something like "100 Must-Reads" or "50 Must-Reads," arbitrarily creating a closed system. The treasure trove of Chinese traditional culture classics should be open, with a rich diversity and hidden gems. This series of books selects 20 works, which can only be said to offer readers the basic classics that should be understood first. The annotations and translations in this book are written in modern vernacular Chinese, making the text more accessible and easy to understand. Some homophones have been directly replaced, and a brief introduction is provided for each author, hoping that readers will enjoy it.
