Zengguang Xianwen
About This Novel
"Recitation of Chinese Classics: Zengguang Xianwen" is also known as "Xianwen of the Past" and "Xianwen of the Ancient and Modern Times". The title of the book was first seen in the opera "The Peony Pavilion" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. From this, it can be inferred that the book was written during the Wanli period at the latest. After continuous additions by literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was changed into its current form, which is called "Zengguang Xianwen", commonly known as "Zengguang Xianwen". The author has never seen any book records. He only knows that the Confucian scholar Zhou Xitao revised it during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is probably the crystallization of folk creation. This book is composed of rhymed proverbs and selected quotes from literature. Its content is very extensive, covering almost everything from etiquette and morality, rules and regulations to customs, allusions, astronomy and geography. But the center is about the philosophy of life and the way to live in the world.

The wisdom of the ancients is in it
Most of the content is well said and explained thoroughly. However, the traditional superstitious culture produced by the ancients due to their lack of scientific understanding should still be critically inherited. Take the essence and discard the dross.
Um
It's a good book to read when you have free time. There are also many insightful principles passed down by our ancestors, which can be used to draw inferences.
This book is worth reading when you are young

Everything is of inferior quality, only reading is of high quality
