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, perspectives, knowledge, experience, and insights have mostly been passed down through books. In childhood, education is most needed, and naturally, so is reading. What kind of books should one read? Experts recommend reading books that are worth reading, i.e., classics! Throughout human history spanning thousands of years, countless books have been written, but most have been submerged 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 children and teenagers by selectively reading them some classic works, using the style of the sages to inspire our descendants and drawing upon the wisdom of the virtuous to educate children with pure and noble dispositions, then, as the saying goes, "What is formed in youth becomes one's nature, and habits become natural." Through gradual accumulation, it will surely lay a solid foundation for children to integrate into society, live happily, and achieve great success in their careers.
To provide children with a better textbook for studying classics, we have specially invited renowned experts in classical literature from famous universities to compile this series, The National Little Academy, for children to read! The features of this series include large original text, Pinyin, translations, and annotations. The large font saves eyesight; Pinyin facilitates reading aloud; translations and annotations aid comprehension. Parents who care about education must not overlook their children's classical education. Join the ranks of classical reading with your child today!
