The Chinese nation has a millennia-old history of civilization, creating a splendid and glorious ancient culture that has left humanity with abundant spiritual treasures. These works not only played a significant role in the formation and development of the Chinese nation but also continue to hold great practical significance today. They help people correctly understand national history, provide patriotic education, cultivate moral sentiments, enhance the cultural quality of the entire nation, and promote the prosperity of socialist culture. They are the cultural essence of our Yellow River descendants and have shaped the spirit of our Chinese nation.
To inherit our excellent cultural heritage and ensure the legacy of our ancient civilization is carried forward, we have launched the "Chinese Traditional Culture Classics Collection" series. Guided by the principles of innovation while upholding tradition, the series selects a variety of classic works from China's history of Confucian, historical, philosophical, and literary works, publishing them in modern translations. We first focus on selecting timeless masterpieces from ancient philosophy, history, geography, literature, and science, while also including famous, widely-loved selections passed down through generations.
Considering the need for accessibility and the target audience, most of these works are translated selectively, with annotations provided for the chosen excerpts. The translations aim for accuracy and fluency, easing readers into the complexities and difficulties of ancient texts. This approach adapts to the fast-paced modern era, allowing readers to directly engage with the essence of ancient Chinese culture while learning and applying it. The series is designed to appeal to and be understood by people of all ages—elders, middle-aged, and youth—ensuring that everyone can benefit from its teachings.
