Features: "The Hundred Surnames" is one of the most widely popular and long-lasting elementary education textbooks in China. It adopts a four-character verse form, with every line rhyming, making it easy to read, learn, and remember. As a result, it has been passed down to this day and has had a profound influence. The book originally collected four hundred and eleven surnames, which were later supplemented to five hundred and four, including four hundred and forty-four single-character surnames and sixty compound surnames. "The Hundred Surnames" has strong practicality and has been an unchanging essential reading for young children since the Song and Yuan dynasties.
