Historical Inheritance of Warring States Policy, Huai Nan Zi, Zuo Zhuan, Historical Records and Hanshu.
These five books record the history of China from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is the basis that every student should know. At this time, the culture and spirit of our Chinese nation were laid. As a China person, if you want to know China culture, you are blind if you don't know this history.
Personally, I think Historical Records in the Five Classics is the most suitable for students to read. First of all, its language is not as rough as Zuo Zhuan. Secondly, Sima Qian's evaluation of each historical figure at the end of his own article can give first-time readers the first impression of historical figures, so as to avoid being too strange to the ancients before the Millennium.
Ideological Cultivation The Analects of Confucius, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Lun Heng, Laozi, Mozi, Mencius and Everything is Wrong.
A person's three views are established from childhood, and whether they are correct or not will profoundly affect his life. The above eight books embody the most typical three views of Chinese children in words, and we should overcome the difficulties in understanding to read them.
Readers should remember that all books on ideological discourse cannot be absorbed, and they should selectively absorb the essence according to their own situation. After all, some books that have been circulated for a hundred years are not in line with today's social and cultural life.
Art edifies The Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, Yuanqu and Mingqu.
It is not enough to read only sage books, but also to read some works of literati, and to cultivate sentiment is also a necessary option for reading career. The Book of Songs is a classic with the longest circulation and the most famous sentences. Its author is unknown, and some people think it is a collection of folk songs circulated by the people before the Spring and Autumn Period, which is very worth seeing.
