Features: In the minds of many Chinese parents, reading is often equated with receiving education. When a child goes to school, parents will remind them, "You must study hard!" "Studying" is one of the most important ways to receive education. For thousands of years, human thoughts, ideas, knowledge, experience, and insights have mostly been passed down through books. When one is young, education is most needed, and naturally, so is reading. What kind of books should one read? Experts recommend reading books that are worth reading—classic books! Throughout human history spanning thousands of years, countless books have been written, but most have been swept away by the tides of time, while only a few classics have remained unabridged, cherished and read by people for generations. This is because these classics possess eternal value, allowing them to transcend the limitations of time and space and endure in the universe. If we can utilize the golden period of a child's youth to selectively read them some classic works, using the style of the sages to cultivate our children, and drawing upon the wisdom of the virtuous to teach kind-hearted children, then, as the saying goes, "What is formed in youth becomes one's nature, and habits become natural." With daily accumulation, it will surely lay a solid foundation for the child to integrate into society, live a happy life, and achieve great success in their career. To provide children with a better textbook for studying classics, we have specially invited renowned experts in classical literature from prestigious universities to edit this series, National Little Academy, for children to read! The features of this series are large original text, Pinyin, translation, and annotations. The large font saves eyesight; Pinyin facilitates reading; translation and annotations aid understanding. Parents who care about education must not overlook their children's education in studying classics. Join the ranks of studying classics—quickly let your child join in!
