To suit junior high school students for recitation and memorization, we have not only carefully selected all original poem versions but also compiled "Translations," which translate classical poems into modern language while striving to preserve the original artistic conception for easier comprehension by students. The "Clarifications" and "Appreciations" sections provide annotations for difficult words and sentences in the original poems and concise explanations and analyses of the poems. These two sections do not require children to fully understand them; they are for reference when teachers and parents guide students in their studies. Students only need to grasp the general meaning.
