The author of the new San Zi Jing is Gao Zhanxiang. This book was published by Renmin University of China Press on 1995. According to the introduction in the book, the idea of writing this new three-character classic is to hope that teenagers can be good children at home, students at school, and citizens who love the motherland and repay the society. After the book was published, it spread to all parts of the country for study. At that time, primary and secondary school students had a copy, and I hope all students will learn the new three-character classics. In order to improve students' interest in learning the new three-character classics and form a learning craze, relevant departments of counties and cities have also held some quiz competitions on the knowledge of the new three-character classics.
In the section "The history of China is like a long river", the new San Zi Jing describes the heroes in the history of China, including Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other modern revolutionary great men, so that students can "understand the national conditions, understand the important tasks" and inspire patriotic feelings. Looking at the whole new three-character sutra, it did add, delete and modify according to the situation at that time, and did its best to remove the rough and extract the fine. This new three-character classic is written in a classic and effective way, with three words and one sentence. Also try to achieve rhythm, cadence, cadence coordination, easy to read, easy for students to read and remember. I remember that as soon as the new three-character classic was opened, it was immediately loved by the majority of primary and secondary school students. Many parents even use this book as an enlightenment reading for children who have not entered school, so that children can read it repeatedly and get some initial moral awareness and ethical thinking. It can be said that the influence of this book at that time was far-reaching and its value was undeniable.
