Features: These two books are closely aligned with the newly issued Chinese teaching by the Ministry of Education and are tightly with the latest Chinese textbooks. They emphasize the systematicity, scientific nature, and humanistic spirit of Chinese knowledge, helping students master and understand common real words, virtual words, and sentence structures in classical Chinese, correctly grasp the ideological content of the texts, gain some essential knowledge of ancient culture and literature, and improve their reading ability and aesthetic appreciation of classical poetry and prose. Ancient Chinese prose is rich in connotation, profound in artistic conception, exquisite in structure, and refined in language; classical poetry is vast and profound, with deep meaning and insightful philosophy, often carrying lofty ideals. Learning excellent classical Chinese poetry and prose can inherit the traditional culture of our nation, promote national spirit, cultivate aesthetic awareness, and enhance aesthetic taste. The ancient poetry and prose selected in middle school Chinese textbooks are the finest works of classical literature. To help middle school students learn classical poetry and prose, master classical Chinese knowledge, and comprehensively improve their Chinese literacy, we have written these two Chinese reading materials: 《High School Classical Chinese Translation·Explanation·Analysis·Commentary》 and 《Junior High School Classical Chinese Translation·Explanation·Analysis·Commentary》. These books can serve as reference materials for Chinese teachers in middle schools and reference resources for self-study by lovers of classical literature.
