Features: This series follows a format of original text with pinyin annotations. Ancient characters and variant characters are marked with black boxes in the lower right corner, while proper nouns such as names of people, places, and dynasties are highlighted by changing the font style. To protect children's eyesight, we have adopted a large-character layout, hoping that children can memorize the texts while reading in a relaxed manner. To ensure the quality of this series, professional scholars have been engaged in annotating and proofreading based on authoritative editions, and authoritative experts have reviewed them to guarantee the excellence of the series. Reading requires method. When the method is correct, the effort yields twice the result. Some great masters have advised that reading classics is valuable, and reading classics is valuable only when one reads them thoroughly to gain understanding, understands to apply, applies to master, masters to innovate. This is also the original intention behind the Classic Reading Project. In summary, it boils down to six words: refined, thorough, insightful, applied, skillful, and innovative. Among these, the processes of insight, application, and innovation are explained. However, the explanation should be grounded in refinement and thoroughness. As for the enlightenment and realization that comes when one is fully focused and immersed in reading, that is truly extraordinary. In such cases, conventional explanations are no longer necessary.
