Features: The splendid 5,000-year culture of the Chinese nation contains a vast amount of poetry, idioms, and allusions, embodying the brilliant thoughts and exquisite language created by ancestors with painstaking effort. These cultural treasures were trampled during the turmoil of the last decade and the inheritance of national culture was interrupted, which was a disaster for the nation and the people. In the past two decades, the education sector and all walks of society have attached great importance to recommending and disseminating the cultural masterpieces of ancestors to the younger generation. Reciting ancient poetry and prose and memorizing idioms and maxims have become a popular trend. Especially after the Ministry of Education issued the new curriculum standards for Chinese language, it explicitly required hundreds of ancient poems and prose to be read by primary and secondary school students, and they were included in textbooks, reaching every school, even those in remote and impoverished rural areas. This is a strategically and historically significant "cultural revival," which deserves wholehearted support. To help in this endeavor, commissioned the "OPEN" editorial team to meticulously compile "An Introduction to the Essence of Chinese Classics," contributing to this cause. This series of books focuses on connecting classical works with modern life and contemporary society, making it easier for the younger generation to understand and apply them. It is hoped that readers will greatly improve their cultural literacy and cultivate national spirit through reading. This is indeed a great cause that benefits future generations.
