Features: China is a world-renowned ancient civilization, whose splendid traditional culture has become a common spiritual treasure of all humanity. With the progress of the times and the continuous deepening of our exploration of nature and understanding of society, people are more urgently than ever before in need of discovering the treasures of traditional culture, drawing upon more wisdom and spiritual strength for self-improvement and self-enhancement, thereby achieving success. There are many classics in traditional culture, which presents a problem of priorities and selection. We do not advocate the idea of "100 must-reads" or "50 must-reads," as it is arbitrary to create a closed system. The treasure trove of Chinese traditional culture classics should be open, with a rich variety and hidden gems. This series selects 20 classics, which can only be said to offer readers a basic and essential selection of works that should be understood first. The annotations and translations in this book are written in modern vernacular Chinese, making the text more accessible and easier to understand. Some homophones have been directly replaced, and a brief introduction is provided for each author, hoping that readers will enjoy this series.
