Features: In the minds of many Chinese parents, reading is often equated with receiving education. When a child goes to school, parents will remind them, "You must study hard!" "Studying" is one of the most important ways to receive education. For thousands of years, human thoughts, opinions, knowledge, experience, and insights have mostly been passed down through books. In childhood, education is most needed, and naturally, so is reading. What kind of books should one read? Experts recommend reading books that are worth reading, i.e., classics! Throughout the thousands of years of human history, countless books have been written, but most have been swept away by the tides of time, leaving only a few classics that have never gone out of print and have been cherished and read by people for a long time. This is because these classics possess eternal value—they can transcend the limitations of time and space and endure in the universe. If we can use the golden period of children's lives to selectively read them some classic works, inspired by the style of the sages, to cultivate our children, and to draw upon the wisdom of the virtuous, we can teach children with pure and kind dispositions. Then, as the saying goes, "What is formed in childhood becomes one's nature, and habits become natural." With daily accumulation, it will surely lay a foundation for the child to integrate into society, live a happy life, and achieve great success in their career. To provide children with better materials for reading classics, we have specially invited classical literature experts from renowned universities to edit this series, 《National Little Academy》, for children to read! The features of this series are large original text, Pinyin, translation, and annotations. The large font saves eyesight; Pinyin makes reading easier; translation and annotations help with comprehension. Parents who care about education must not overlook their children's classic education—quickly have your child join the ranks of reading classics!
