Features: A Nong's Campus Culture Book Series. This book selects fifty-eight stories. These stories come from many wells of wisdom: the well of ancient Chinese mythology, the well of Chinese history, the well of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the well of literature. These stories have been widely known and even became part of the lives of ancient Chinese people. They were passed down from teachers to students and from parents to children. Unfortunately, in modern times, some characters have been forgotten, and some stories are no longer told. School textbooks that emphasize timeliness also lack introductions. Young people, including some teachers, are often at a loss when asked about them. This book is a fundamental collection of Chinese stories, a basic moral education book, and also imparts many basic life wisdoms. We hope every Chinese person can possess these "basics." This book is mainly aimed at young readers, drawing from the five thousand years of Chinese wisdom to compile nearly sixty stories, filling in the gaps in contemporary young people's "history lessons, culture lessons, and moral lessons."
