Features: The teenage years are a period of peak memory capacity. Reading more classical Chinese during this time is crucial for laying a solid cultural foundation. Reading, especially self-study, requires perseverance. If you only work for three days and then take two days off, you won't only fail to read well but also fail at everything you do. The proverb says, "There are no difficult tasks in the world, only those who lack determination." "Determination" means hard work and diligence, and "determination" means moving forward relentlessly! Journey into Classical Chinese consists of three volumes. The first volume is for sixth and seventh graders; the second volume is for eighth graders; the third volume is for ninth graders. The classical Chinese knowledge and cultural introduced in the "Reading" section of each volume may seem fragmented, but after completing all three, you will have a relatively complete understanding. The materials in the "Training" section are mostly rewritten by the editors to better suit your learning level. The essence of "learning" is to ask questions while studying, so if you encounter difficulties, you should consult your teachers or look up dictionaries. The ancient saying, "Pride leads to loss, humility leads to gain," should be the motto of every diligent student.
