Features: This book is one of the series "The Great Masters' Small Books (Volume 3)." The author, Zhu Ziqing, a modern Chinese prose writer, poet, and literary scholar, believes that "the value of classics lies not in utility but in culture." Classic training is a necessary part of general cultural education. However, ancient Chinese classics are vast and profound. To make them accessible to the general public, the author introduces the essence of the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation through thirteen concise essays in the book. The discussions are not confined to the outdated framework of old studies but instead incorporate recent perspectives. The writing is warm, natural, and easy to understand. Between the lines, one can see a tireless spirit of nurturing others, as if feeding them with chewed food. The author has a heartfelt wish that readers "can take it as a boat to sail into the sea of classics."
