Features: The wisdom of Chinese classics is an important part of the world's treasure trove of wisdom. It contains life insights and sources of wisdom that are a common wealth of humanity, and its unique value remains timeless. This time, they published the first batch of books, totaling 9 titles, including "The Analects," "Tao Te Ching · Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," "Mencius," "The Great Learning · Doctrine of the Mean · The Classic of Filial Piety," "The Book of Rites," "The I Ching," "Three-Character Classic · Hundred Family Surnames · Thousand-Character Classic · Meng Qiu," "The Rules for Students · Dragon-Script Whip Shadow," and "Rhythm Enlightenment · Lianggong's Rhyme." Among them, there are both time-honored classics of Chinese culture and traditional introductory reading materials. Through recitation, it can not only enlighten wisdom and inherit culture but also regulate behavior and cultivate character. The target audience of this series is mainly Chinese children and overseas Chinese learners. It adopts a large-character layout and is accompanied by Pinyin. The format of this series is the original text with Pinyin annotations. Ancient characters, variant characters, and homophones are marked with black boxes in the lower right corner, while proper nouns such as names of people, places, and dynasties are highlighted by changing the Pinyin font. For the sake of protecting children's eyesight, we adopted a large-character layout, hoping that children can recite while reading in a relaxed manner. To ensure the quality of this series, we invited professional scholars to annotate and proofread the texts based on the standard editions of these classics, and we also invited authoritative experts to review them to guarantee the quality of the books. Reading requires a method. When the method is correct, the effort is doubled. Some great teachers have advised that reading is valuable in reading classics, and reading classics is valuable in reciting them to gain understanding, understanding to apply, applying to become skillful, and skillful to innovate. This is also the original intention of the Classic Recitation Project. In short, it boils down to six words: precision, familiarity, understanding, application, skill, and innovation. Among them, the processes of understanding, application, and innovation are explained. However, the explanation should be based on precision and familiarity. As for the enlightenment and realization that occurs when the mind is undisturbed and focused on recitation, that is truly remarkable. In such cases, ordinary explanations are no longer needed.
