What books should children read if they want to understand Chinese culture?

The Book of Three Characters, the Book of Poetry, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Peach Blossom Spring, Chinese History for Children, and 300 Tang Poems, these books are very suitable.

You can show your child some books that record history. For example, the "Historical Records", which records the history of more than 3,000 years since the Yellow Emperor, has a certain role in understanding Chinese culture.

You can take your children to see the 5,000 years of China, and you can also take your children to see some modern Chinese history or ancient Chinese history, and then let your children fully understand Chinese culture.

3. "Zhou Yi".Nowadays, those feng shui divination and all kinds of superstitious things seem to be still very popular among the people, so this must mention "Zhou Yi". It's just that many people have only learned some scratches of the surface, and have not learned the essence of the book at all. The yin and yang black and white in ancient times and Zhou Yizhong's life principles are not something that can be studied thoroughly by simple study.

This book, which specializes in explaining the universe of heaven and earth, still needs to be read through practical operation.

I think we can read "Guiguzi", which is a book about strategy, which can give us an idea of how the strategy of soldiers worked in ancient times. You can also read the "Analects" to learn the ancient humanistic etiquette to enrich your inner culture.

You can read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which tells the mythological stories of China's heavens and south, and is very conducive to people understanding some geographical names in traditional books.

I think we can read more of the Tao Te Ching, there are some young people who are really not high in ideological and moral training, and reading more of these books will be very helpful for future social interactions.

Chinese culture does not lie in opera, calligraphy and painting, etc. These are too low-level.

Chinese culture lies in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, etiquette and honesty, and in beautiful clothing and perfect systems.

If you want to know this, it is recommended to read philosophical classics such as "Analects", "Mencius", "University", "Zhongyong", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi" and "Mozi", as well as historical works such as "Shangshu", "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian", as well as "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" and other poetic works.

In terms of the general history of ancient history, Qian Mu's "Outline of National History" can be doubled. In addition, if you want to finish reading it quickly, you can turn to Zhang Chuanxi's "Ancient Chinese History". For modern history, the following books can be turned to:

Jiang Tinghuang, "Modern Chinese History", Chen Xulu, "The Metabolism of Modern China" (this book is very famous, although the content of the book does not seem very interesting now, but it was still very influential at the time, and it can be regarded as a landmark work that historiography began to return to academia).

There are two general histories of Lü Simian, namely "Lü's General History of China" and "Vernacular National History", the former is a textbook in nature, it is a mature work in the later period, and it is an outline work, but it is more detailed and detailed than the "Outline of National History", the text is concise, but it is less interesting, and it is suitable for ordinary readers who are accustomed to reading mainstream historical textbooks and want to taste the freshness; The latter is a reference book, an early work, with a detailed and uneven narrative, which can very well reflect Mr. Lu Simian's excellent historical knowledge, and is suitable for readers of a slightly higher level.

"The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is a classic that has been selling well for more than 20 years. Huang Renyu's narration is unbridled and graceful, and many people will fall into it when they read this book, thus having the feeling that the dragon is missing the beginning and the end. In the Wanli era, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, and Qi Jiguang are all familiar to us, looking at the emperor's divine dragon without seeing the end, these three famous figures in the audience have appeared on the stage of history one after another, showing their strengths and feet, which is very refreshing.

Scholars generally believe that this book is the most penetrating, the most creative, and the most representative model in the field of political and cultural history of the Song Dynasty in recent years.

A must-read for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is Feng Menglong's "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", the advantage is that it is popular and interesting, it can give you a general impression of the whole, be familiar with the names of people, and then immediately follow up Taishi Gong's "Historical Records", this period of history has relatively few choices, after these two books are finished, I still want to advance, and the Warring States Policy welcomes you.
