Features: This book is part of the "Read China" series, specifically the "Early Childhood Volume - Ancient Section." It is divided into two parts: the first part includes 55 poems, selecting well-known and easily understandable masterpieces suitable for recitation; the second part features famous proverbs and aphorisms that have been passed down through centuries and are widely recognized. After the original text of the poems, simple annotations are provided. "Recitation Tips" and "Main Idea" are included to help readers understand and recite the poems, and a lively and interesting "Little Professor" section is also specially designed. The book's main feature is recitation. In addition to full pinyin annotations, the poem section also marks the recitation rhythm with slashes ("/") to help readers grasp the flow. Furthermore, we have made corresponding tone markings based on the different phonetic environments of "yi" and "bu": "yi" is marked with a falling tone before level tones (yīngpíng, yángpíng, shàngshēng) and a rising tone before falling tones (qùshēng), while it is marked with a level tone when used alone or at the end of a sentence. "Bu" is marked with a rising tone before falling tones (qùshēng).
