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, opinions, 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, i.e., classics! Throughout human history spanning thousands of years, countless books have been written, but most have been drowned out by the tides of time, leaving only a few classics that have never gone out of print and have long been cherished and read by people. This is because these classics possess eternal value, allowing them to endure beyond the constraints of time and space. If we can take advantage of the golden period of a child's youth and selectively read them some classic works, using the style of the sages to cultivate our children and drawing on the wisdom of the virtuous, we can teach children with pure and noble dispositions. Then, as the saying goes, "What is formed in youth becomes one's nature, and habits become natural." With gradual accumulation, it will surely lay a solid foundation for the child's integration into society, a happy life, and 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 famous universities to compile this series, The 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 makes reading easier; translation and annotations aid comprehension. 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!
