What is the role of children reading classics?

The only purpose of reading literary classics is to cultivate our temperament and open up our spiritual space-you can sit in a small room, open books, break through the limitations of time and space, and have a friend-like dialogue with people and creatures thousands of miles away and all life in the universe, so as to achieve spiritual harmony and obtain real spiritual freedom. Keep reading, and you will find that you have changed, as the old man Ba Jin said, "become better".

(2) Reading classics is because the spiritual essence of every nation and every era is condensed in it, and the best creations of mankind are gathered in it. The achievements of human spiritual civilization are passed down from generation to generation through classic reading. In this sense, the basic way to receive education is to "read classics".

(3) What books people read during their education, such as middle school, is not a small problem. As Mr. Lu Xun said, chasing fashion at random, "picking it and swallowing it at random" and eating "not tonic, but sour wine in a new bag and rotten meat in a red paper bag". The result is not just disgusting. Drinking "sour wine" and eating "rotten meat" may make you a freak. Therefore, Lu Xun appealed loudly to give correct guidance to young people's reading. Advocating "reading famous books and classics" is a kind of guidance: only by nourishing the next generation with the best spiritual food created by predecessors can they be guaranteed to become "purer and kinder" "sound people with beautiful hearts" that Ba Lao expects.
