Features: For example, building a mountain, if it is not yet completed by one basketful, stop—this is because I choose to stop. For example, leveling the ground, even if one basketful is covered, advance—this is because I choose to advance. To promote the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and introduce the profound and extensive classical Chinese literary works to young friends and readers of classical Chinese, we have selected and reorganized versions, drawing on the strengths of various schools, and given them new interpretations and perspectives, continuously extending their connotations and expanding their extensions, finally compiling the "Treasures of Chinese Classical National Literature" series, with 12 volumes successfully published. The treasure trove of Chinese classical masterpieces covers a wide range of fields, contains rich and diverse content, and includes a vast variety of works, far beyond what we could comprehensively collect and preserve. Therefore, the works we have collected are mainly those that have been passed down for a long time and are widely recognized by contemporary society and literary history, aiming to make the excellent accessible and understandable to modern readers. For this reason, we have focused on improving the selection, editing, annotation, and commentary of the works, providing detailed annotations for difficult sentences and passages, highlighting the themes, and showcasing their distinctive features. We believe that the "Treasures of Chinese Classical Literature" series will help friends with basic reading abilities to deepen their understanding of the original classical works, ensuring that every page turned is beneficial.
The editorial positioning of this series aims to help readers achieve in-depth reading, while fully considering readers' reading interests and financial affordability. It emphasizes the popularization and accessibility of classical literary works, with some chapters removed to fully reflect the purpose of light and entertaining reading.
