Features: The purpose of editing this series of books is to save readers' time and help them acquire more knowledge in a shorter period. In the era of information explosion, there is too much to learn. Tutoring has become a frequent need. If one is not good at tutoring, grabbing a little here and a little there, patching up this today and that tomorrow, the results may not be very good. If reading is treated like taking medicine, one may also lose the and joy that should be experienced while reading. Each book in this series is short in length. Even if readers read them carefully and savor them slowly, they won't spend much time, and they can fully enjoy the joy of reading. If they are taken as medicine, they are small in dosage, easy to take, and easy to digest. In the half-century since the interruption of traditional etymology, it was the contemporary etymology master, Mr. Lu Zongda, who first stood up to call for its revival. A Brief Discussion on Etymology introduces this ancient and useful discipline to the younger generation who have not been exposed to it, using its popular language, accurate explanations, and a serious yet relaxed tone.
