What famous "enlightenment books" did people in ancient China create to educate their children?
China's ancient children's enlightenment books are also called "Enlightenment", and the most famous ones are "Three Thousand", which are: Three-character Classics, Hundred Family Names and Thousand-character Texts.

1, the three-character classic, is a well-known book on Mongolian studies, which has been widely circulated and known for hundreds of years. Saint amethyst is rich in content. Zhang Taiyan, a master of modern studies, said: "His book lists names and events first, and then lists classics and history, so he is slightly prepared for enlightenment and guidance." In other words, The Amethyst is an enlightening book with the same content.

Its content arrangement is also very organized, which embodies the author's educational thought. The author thinks that teaching children lies in etiquette and filial piety ladder, and correcting children's thoughts and imparting knowledge is the second, that is, "filial piety ladder first, then knowing." To cultivate children, we should start from primary school, that is, first read books, and then read two kinds of classics: classics and books.

2. Hundred Family Names is the oldest and most widely circulated Mongolian teaching material in China. It uses four words to correct mistakes, and each sentence rhymes. Although its content is not artistic, it is easy to read, learn and remember. Hundreds of surnames are a unique cultural phenomenon in China. Several surnames compiled by it reflect China people's strong sense of identity with clan and blood.

Surname culture is an important part of China culture. China people are the most "root-seeking" nation in the world. In the historical evolution, hundred family names provide an important textual basis for people to find the origin of lineage, establish a sense of belonging in the sense of consanguinity and help people understand the traditional consanguinity complex.

It is an indispensable basic blueprint of culture and literature for China people to know themselves and their families.

3. The full name of Qian Wen Zi in Wang Xizhi is Qian Zi, which was compiled by Liang Zhou provinces. According to legend, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan ordered Zhou Xingsi to take 1000 non-repetitive words from Wang Xizhi's tablet and compose them into rhymes. With its rich knowledge and beautiful rhyme, Qianziwen is very suitable for children to recite and learn, and has become a traditional classic teaching material of Mongolian studies for thousands of years.

Even today, reading and studying Qianziwen is a shortcut for teenagers to perceive traditional culture and civilization, understand the history of China, appreciate the accuracy and exquisiteness of Chinese characters, understand the wisdom of the ancients and get a glimpse of Chinese studies.

Thousands of words provide children with the most concentrated spirit of Chinese studies. Children who have read thousands of words are different from those who have not read thousands of words in terms of cultural composition and spiritual accomplishment.

Working background

1. There are different opinions about the time when the book was written and the author's past dynasties. Scholars in later generations tend to hold the view that "Mr. and Wang wrote Three Books to teach their families", that is, in order to better educate their children to read, they wrote a three-character classic that integrates classics and history.

Wang Yinglin was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the historical part of the original sacred amethyst didn't end until the Song Dynasty. With the development of history, in order to reflect the changes of the times, people in various dynasties constantly supplemented the sacred amethyst. He Xingsi added 24 sentences about the history of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties during the reign of Qing Dynasty.

2. Hundred Family Names is not only an enlightening textbook, but also a book to record China's surname. Its content comes from the development of surnames. Before the hundred surnames, the written records of surnames can be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty.

The Book of the World, compiled by historians in the Warring States period, recorded the surname, lineage and residence of princes and doctors from the Yellow Emperor to the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was gradually destroyed in the Song Dynasty.

According to historical documents, surnames can be traced back to the matriarchal clan system in primitive human society. Surnames in China's early days were all in female characters or radicals, such as Ji's surname and Yao's surname. At that time, surnames were used as specific symbols to distinguish clans, such as the names of tribes or the names of tribal leaders. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor lived on the bank of the water, taking the water as his surname.

Living next door, taking Jiang as his surname. Dayu was in charge of water conservancy, and the emperor made great contributions and gave his surname as the secretary. In addition, the son of a tribal leader can also have a surname. The Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom were given surnames, namely Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Ren, Xun, Wei, Xian and Yi, and four of them belonged to the second surname. After Zhu Rong, he established eight surnames for himself, namely, Dong, Peng, Bald, Yi, Cao, Zhu and Mi, which was called Zhu Rong's eight surnames in history.

3. Literacy textbooks specially used for enlightenment have appeared in China for a long time. There are Cang Xie and Gui Li in Qin dynasty, Fan Jiang in Sima Xiangru, Gu Xi in Jia's family, exhortation in Cai Yong and You's urgent chapter in Han dynasty.

Among these works, only Urgent Chapter has an influence on later generations, and the rest have little influence. Although Urgent Chapter is a prominent primary school book after Cang Xie Pian, due to various problems in its circulation, its authority was not as good as before in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

However, during this period, Gu Ting, Yi You and other enlightening books appeared, and their readability was limited. It is against this background that thousands of words came out.

In the Southern Dynasties, in order to teach Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Yin was asked to develop 1000 different words from Wang Xizhi's works, each with a piece of paper, and then these messy rubbings were handed over to him to weave them into rhyme with content. This is a thousand-character script that has been circulated for more than 65,438+0,400 years in the 265,438+0 century.
