Features: Anecdotes are a precious cultural heritage of China. They mainly consist of stories or legends about historical figures and institutions. They cover a wide range of topics, are rich in content, concise yet vivid in plot, and are filled with historical and literary knowledge as well as profound philosophical insights. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of the past. Therefore, anecdotes not only have cognitive value and practical value but also aesthetic value. Given that anecdotes are classical Chinese and may be difficult for general young readers to read, we have selected some of them and illustrated them into popular and humorous comic strips. They are categorized and published in book form to provide more readers with a spiritual treasure for learning and reference, better meeting the needs of a broad audience.
