Features: The plane geometry we all learned in high school is a precious legacy left by the great predecessors represented by Euclid. For over two thousand years, generations have devoutly followed in Euclid's footsteps, with no one raising objections! Academician Zhang Jingzhong discovered that Euclidean geometry has a troublesome problem—it remains at the level of "one problem, one method," lacking a powerful and universal problem-solving approach. The method of drawing auxiliary lines often leaves people at a loss. Academician Zhang Jingzhong dared to challenge the traditional geometric treatment model that has endured for thousands of years. After years of dedicated research, he pioneered a new method and system centered on area. This new system has a clear focus, allowing students to start from this center and reach every corner of plane geometry, making geometric problems follow a clear set of rules, fully demonstrating the superiority of the "area method." Over more than 20 years of teaching practice, it has been proven that the "area method" can save class time and improve students' problem-solving abilities; it is especially advantageous in solving Mathematical Olympiad problems, and has therefore been mastered by many high school teachers and students.
