As the saying goes, "Gold has value, but jade has none." In reality, there is something even more valuable and superior to gold, something universally accessible and priceless—those timeless famous quotes. To meet the needs of young readers in learning and (using) ancient quotes, we have compiled this small dictionary with the guiding principle of "Beneficial for character development and helpful for writing."
We first categorized the selected 2,600 quotes into 28 categories, then further grouped these categories into six major sections: (Achievement), (Interpersonal Skills), (Establishing a Nation), (Describing Scenery), (Expressing Emotions), and (Philosophy). The arrangement starts with "Heaven · Earth · Humanity" and ends with "Change," ensuring that the spirit of human culture runs as a red thread throughout the entire book.
Of course, not every ancient quote is a golden saying. Many of them carry the marks of the old era. We must have a clear understanding of this.
