Features: Literature is the study of humanity, and children's literature is the literature of humanity at its earliest stage. At the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good. Children's literature is the earliest form of literature that children encounter. Works that have deeply moved young readers will remain unforgettable and beneficial throughout their lives. In today's era of diverse media, we especially need to advocate for literary reading among young children. "A Hundred Years of Classics" is not only a publishing project that compiles the greatest works of original Chinese children's literature in history, but also a cultural accumulation and inheritance project with significant contemporary and historical value. It is also a promotional project that revitalizes the finest modern Chinese children's literature. We firmly believe that the new century's Chinese children's literature, with its continuous artistic innovation and noble quality, will have a more positive and profound subtle influence on cultivating the spiritual character, cultural psychology, and national quality of the future generation of the Chinese nation.
