Features: The splendid 5,000-year culture of the Chinese nation contains a vast amount of poetry, idioms, and allusions, embodying the brilliant thoughts and exquisite language created by ancestors with painstaking effort. These cultural treasures were trampled during the turmoil of the last decade and the inheritance of national culture was interrupted, which was a disaster for the nation and the people. In the past two decades, the education sector and various social circles have attached great importance to recommending and spreading the cultural masterpieces of ancestors to the youth. Reciting ancient poetry and prose and memorizing idioms and maxims have become a popular trend. Especially after the Ministry of Education issued the new curriculum standards for Chinese language, it hundreds of ancient poems and prose must be read by primary and secondary school students and were included in textbooks, reaching every school, even those in remote and impoverished villages. This is a strategically and historically significant "cultural revival," which deserves wholehearted support. To help in this effort, “OPEN” editing team meticulously compiled "Introduction to the Essence of Chinese Classics," contributing to this cause. This series of books focuses on connecting classical works with modern life and contemporary society, making it easier for the youth to understand and apply them. It is hoped that readers will greatly improve their cultural literacy and cultivate national spirit through reading. This is truly a beneficial endeavor for generations to come.
