The Chinese nation is one of the oldest and most advanced civilizations in the world. Our ancestors once created a splendid culture, which can proudly stand among the most glorious ancient cultures in the world, and the literary heritage is one of the brightest parts of it. Currently, although the world has entered an era of economic globalization, this does not necessarily mean that cultural convergence will inevitably occur. In the future world order, while the development of world culture will undoubtedly involve conflicts and competition, the main trend of a new type of world civilization will be the exchange and dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures. The more distinctive a literary work is in terms of nationality and region, the more attention and interest it can attract from global readers, and the more it will be loved by people around the world.

Young friends, let us with reverence and sincerity, immerse ourselves and roam freely in the sea of books. This book attempts to provide a convenient, practical, and quick way for young people to access, understand, and appreciate Chinese literary masterpieces.
