The classical Chinese collected in this book is understood in the broad sense, including famous and representative works of prose and ci and fu from various dynasties. This book attempts to appreciate and evaluate the magnificent achievements of Chinese classical Chinese from the perspectives of historical materialism, dialectical materialism, and the humanities and arts, helping readers understand its development and evolution, and to scientifically absorb its beneficial aspects for well-being.
