Features: The book here is something you must read at least once in your lifetime, whether you are ten, thirty, or seventy years old! A minimalist reading list of Chinese culture. From the vast collection of ancient classics, sixty works have been selected for the first time to present the style and appearance of Chinese five thousand years of culture in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Renowned scholars in Taiwan review the classics with a 21st-century perspective, traversing time and space, and guiding you into the "unfenced museum of Chinese culture." The Treasury of Chinese Classics also includes the original texts or excerpts, not only emphasizing the indispensability of the originals but also guiding dedicated readers to progress step by step, from easy to advanced. Journey to the West is an ancient Chinese legend that tells the story of a monk leading three seemingly human yet non-human disciples on a journey to the West to retrieve sacred scriptures. The author is likely Wu Cheng'en, as it compiles all the stories of the pilgrimage and monkeys from the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, showcasing unparalleled wisdom and timeless humor.
