What we are doing now is an important task to build a new culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In building this new culture, while promoting the spirit of innovation, it is necessary to critically inherit traditional culture. To critically inherit traditional culture, it is essential to have a relatively profound understanding of tradition. In traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism holds an important position. When we critically inherit traditional Chinese culture, we must first analyze and study Confucian thought. The works of Confucianism are numerous, with the most important being the Confucian classics. The Confucian classics were originally called the Six Classics. Later, during the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, the Five Classics were expanded to the Seven Classics, Nine Classics, and eventually the Thirteen Classics. The Thirteen Classics are a compilation of ancient Confucian classics. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many commentaries on the Thirteen Classics, which were compiled into the Thirteen Classics with Annotations and Explanations during the Song Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, the study of classics had surpassed the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, reaching a higher level. Today, with new perspectives, we gain new insights when studying ancient classics. The Thirteen Classics contain many terms, concepts, idioms, and famous sentences. When we study traditional culture, it is necessary to have a correct understanding of the terms, concepts, idioms, and famous sentences in the Thirteen Classics.
