Features: The profound and extensive culture of the Chinese nation, like a shining constellation, has illuminated the long history of five thousand years. Many of its essence have been passed down through generations, their value enduring and ever-renewing—this is what we call the National Culture Classics. They are the crystallization of wisdom from ancient culture, a splendid record of national culture, a document that connects the past and future of Chinese culture, and the fundamental source of Chinese culture and spirit. They are also the treasures we should pass on endlessly. In this series of "Introduction to Children's National Culture Classics," we have selected 20 classical texts from ancient China. They are simple and easy to understand, with annotations and translations of the original texts, accompanied by vivid cartoon illustrations to help children grasp the meaning and spirit within. During the writing process, we not only regarded the National Culture as the source of national spirit but also clearly recognized its deep imprint of the feudal era in its creation, development, and transmission. We adopted a very cautious attitude, paying close attention to the rigor of material selection, the precision of annotations, and the accuracy of comments. The learning potential and absorption capacity of children are beyond imagination for adults. We advocate parents and teachers to provide guidance and focus on cultivating children's self-learning abilities. Learning methods should be simple and practical—ideally, starting with recitation, then familiarization, followed by memorization, and finally reflection. We encourage parents and teachers to recite with children, leading them while also further enriching themselves morally and culturally.
