Features: Literature is the study of humanity, and children's literature is the literature of humanity at its earliest stage. At the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good. Children's literature is the earliest form of literature that people receive. Those children's literary works that have deeply moved children will remain unforgettable and beneficial throughout life. In this era of diverse media, we particularly need to advocate for literary reading among young children. Literary reading differs from reading knowledge books, picture books, or textbooks. Literature moves, infects, and influences people through its richly fleshed-out characters, vivid personalities, aesthetic power, emotional power, moral power, and spiritual power. Classicism, authority, readability, and openness are the main goals of the "100 Classics of Chinese Children's Literature Series."
The "100 Classics of Chinese Children's Literature Series" is the largest systematic review and summary of Chinese children's literature in history. The editors will carefully select 100 outstanding original children's literary works by 100 Chinese children's literature writers from the early 20th century to the present, spanning 100 years. The criteria for selecting works for the "100 Classics of Chinese Children's Literature Series" are as follows: First, the social impact, artistic quality, popularity among young children, and breadth of influence on young children of the works are evaluated to determine whether they possess enduring artistic charm and spiritual vitality that transcends time. Second, the contributions of the works to the development of Chinese children's literature are considered, including unique linguistic creativity, outstanding achievements in genre, distinct artistic personalities, prominent innovations in expression, and their significance in the history of children's literature. Third, the creative attitude of the writers is assessed to determine whether they demonstrate a high sense of cultural responsibility and aesthetic duty, whether they have long been concerned with the spiritual nourishment of minors, and whether they have engaged in children's literature creation for a long time.
Second, the "100 Classics of Chinese Children's Literature Series" is the most comprehensive collection of original children's literary works in modern and contemporary Chinese children's literature. This is evident in the following aspects: It includes representative figures from five generations of Chinese children's literature writers from the early 20th century to the present, during the May Fourth New Culture Movement and beyond. The 100 selected writers reflect the multi-ethnic diversity of the Chinese nation while also presenting a panoramic view of the mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The 100 works cover all genres of modern children's literature, making it the most comprehensive collection of original Chinese children's literary works in terms of genre.
Third, the value of excellence lies in its enduring legacy, and the significance of classics lies in their timeless relevance. The editors will design and plan combinations that align with the aesthetic preferences and reading habits of contemporary young readers, allowing the new generation of young and adult readers to accept and appreciate these Chinese original children's literature classics that have deeply moved and nurtured generations of young people. The "100 Classics of Chinese Children's Literature Series" is not only a monumental publishing project for the compilation of Chinese original children's literary works in history but also a cultural accumulation and inheritance project of great practical and historical significance. It is also a promotional project that renews the vitality of modern Chinese children's literature masterpieces.
