Famous works like the "Three-Character Classic," "Hundred Family Surnames," and "One Thousand Characters" are all representative primary teaching materials. "The Rules for Students" is the most influential three-character children's training textbook after the "Three-Character Classic," compiled by Li Yuxiu during the Qing Dynasty. It was originally titled "Instructions for Primary Education," later revised, and renamed "The Rules for Students."
