Features: At the time of the publication of this "" series, as editors, we have much to say to our readers. As the saying goes, "mathematics is the gymnastics of the mind" and "the game of the intelligent." Without a doubt, various mathematics competitions—ranging from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) to regional events—have nurtured countless students and teachers. The role of extracurricular mathematics activities in inspiring interest in learning and improving problem-solving skills in mathematics is not optional but indispensable in China's basic education. It is precisely for this reason that, over the past few decades, including mathematics competitions and other extracurricular activities in mathematics, have been widely welcomed and supported by students, teachers, and parents. It is well known that the problems in various mathematics competitions are mostly formulated by experts and experienced teachers who specialize in the field. Therefore, in terms of the quality of the problems, whether in terms of depth or flexibility in solving, they far exceed the exercises students typically do daily. For the past years' questions of the "National Junior High School League," after careful review, we have strived to provide as many practical solutions as possible to help readers broaden their thinking. For more challenging problems, we provide original solutions, starting from the point of entry, to clarify the source of the reasoning and thereby achieve the effect of "generalizing from one to all." We pay particular attention to teaching readers correct thinking methods rather than inundating them with advanced concepts, enabling them to achieve genuine improvement.
