Professor Zhang Qicheng pointed out: As a Chinese, you must read the Five Classics throughout your life:

Young people read "The Analects" to cultivate themselves and become adults to build a career;

Middle-aged people read "The Analects of Confucius" "Tao Te Ching", let go of illusions and be free;

Read "Tan Sutra" in old age, and understand the mind and nature to know the past;

As for "Book of Changes" and "Huangdi Neijing", One is to know one's fate, and the other is to maintain one's health. It must be recited with respect throughout one's life.
