Features: This series of books follows a format of original text with pinyin annotations. Ancient characters, variant characters, and proper nouns such as names of people, places, and dynasties are marked with black boxes in the lower right corner. 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 pinyin annotations and proofreading based on authoritative editions, and authoritative experts have been invited for review to guarantee the quality of the illustrations. Reading requires method. When the method is correct, the effort is doubled. Some great teachers have advised that reading classics is valuable, and reading classics is valuable only when one reads them repeatedly to gain understanding, uses them to apply the knowledge, and refines them to achieve mastery, and then innovates. This is also the original intention behind the Classic Reading Project. In summary, it boils down to six words: refined, familiar, understood, applied, mastered, and innovated. Among these, the processes of understanding, applying, and innovating are explained. However, the explanation should be based on refinement and familiarity. As for the enlightenment and realization that comes when one reads with undivided attention and deep familiarity, that is truly extraordinary. In such cases, ordinary explanations are no longer needed.
