Ancient texts represent, to some extent, the height of wisdom once achieved in a particular era, and they have carried forward the vibrant Chinese culture for thousands of years, preserving our national pride and sense of belonging. They serve as witnesses to the shared cultural psychology of the Chinese nation. The editing of ancient texts acts as a bridge connecting history and the present, embodying the work of "preserving what is endangered and continuing what is interrupted." It not only showcases history to people but also preserves it, enabling them to grasp the threads of national development amidst the complexities of reality, uncover the essence of traditional Chinese culture, and engage in cultural exchanges with the world.
