Reader comments
This dictionary is great! It selects classic cases from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty in chronological order, allowing us to clearly understand historical development. By grouping characters and comparing them, the wisdom of different characters in the game is demonstrated. Moreover, the appreciation part of the book explains it in simple terms and the writing is fluent, which benefited me a lot. For example, "Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses." This sentence is simple but profound, making people think deeply. All in all, this is a great book for high school students to read!
