According to historical records, Qian Wen Zi was written in the period of Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties (502-549). Its editor is Liang Shi's assistant minister Gu Li, who gave it to Zhou Xingsi. "History of the Past" records that Liang Wudi ordered Yin, the minister, to write an inscription for Wang Xizhi's book, and asked that 1,000 words should not be repeated in order to dedicate it to the handwriting of the Eight Kings. After the introduction, these thousands of words were not related to each other, and Liang Wudi ordered them to be compiled into meaningful sentences. "You are very talented, think, rhyme for me." . As a result, Zhou Xingsi actually wrote "Thousand Characters" and his hair turned white. The ancients often called it "Qian Wen".
"History of the Liang Dynasty" said: "Wang Xizhi's book, thousands of words, makes the subsequent rhyme into a text. Play it, call it good, and give it gold. " In the Tang Dynasty, Shangshu Old Things further described this matter. The book says: In order to teach Wang Xizhi calligraphy, please ask Yin to write 1000 different words from Wang Xizhi's works, each with a piece of paper. Then give these messy rubbings to Zhou Xingsi to write poems with contents. Zhou Xingsi spent the whole night writing it. He was so tired that his hair and beard turned white. This incident was recorded in Gong Liu Jia Luhua, Taiping Guangji and other books in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and its content was basically the same as that in Shangshu Jiu Shi.
Although Qian ranks last in 300,000, it was written at the earliest time, and it is also the only book in 300,000 that knows exactly when it was written and who wrote it.
The spread of Qian 1400 years shows that it is not only an excellent children's book, but also an integral part of China's excellent traditional culture, which has been widely valued and loved by people, enough to spread it to the distant future. Qian Wen Zi is a connecting work among ancient children's books in China. Its beautiful writing and gorgeous rhetoric make many children's books incomparable.
Shenzhen Cewen Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. has developed a series of "love literacy reading courses" including "Chinese Classics" based on the principle of centralized literacy in the rhyme of thousands of words, which has been widely praised for promoting Chinese reading teaching. Among them, the main literacy textbook consists of 4000 non-repetitive commonly used Chinese characters, which are divided into 50 different themes by rhyme, which can be called the modern version of thousands of words.
