Features: With growing attention to the "National Classics Enlightenment Movement," classic reading materials for this purpose have become wildly popular across the country. Authorities believe it is very necessary to compile a set of books specifically for preschool children. The "National Classics Little Workshops" presented to you are a new series of books we launched based on this consideration. The first volume of this series includes four classic educational texts for young learners: "Three-Character Classic," "Hundred Family Surnames," "Thousand-Character Classic," and "Disciples' Rules." These are all classic works favored by many parents, holding significant positive meaning for children's intellectual development and character formation, and have long been valued in Chinese family education. During the organization and writing process, we focused on ensuring the accuracy of the book content and provided phonetic annotations, explanations, and translations as much as possible to facilitate your guidance in teaching children. Considering the reading habits of young readers, we hired painters to create full-color illustrations for this series to enhance reading interest. Additionally, a cartoon VCD with children's voiceovers is included as a supplementary tool for learning and recitation. Each page of this book is accompanied by full-color illustrations closely related to the text, aiming to help young readers understand the meaning. Considering the historical context and the actual situation of young readers, the illustrations do not strictly adhere to historical facts. For example, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper books were not used in China; bamboo and wooden slips were used instead. However, the illustrations in this book still depict paper books directly. If the flags and books illustrated in the entire book were strictly described according to historical facts, they should all be traditional characters. We did not handle it this way, except for a few places where traditional characters are used. To prevent readers from being confused by similar situations in this book, we specially explain this here. The brush and ink should follow the times, revering the old but not being rigidly bound to it. This approach is considered appropriate. It is hoped that everyone understands and appreciates this.
