"However, there are so many ancient records in China that it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to them. The author introduced the essence of these national cultural heritages in China in thirteen words. The content begins with the literate Shuo Wen Jie Zi, then the classics such as Yi, Shu, Shi, Li, Three Biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period and Four Books, and then the historical classics such as Warring States Policy, Historical Records and Hanshu. There are too many documents about hundred schools of thought, Ci Fu, poetry and literature, so it is impossible to elaborate them one by one, and their origins are briefly described.
