Common sense of Chinese studies: What are the "Four Books and Five Classics"
The Four Books and Five Classics, collectively called the Four Books and Five Classics, are China Confucian classics.

The four books refer to The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, University and The Doctrine of the Mean.

The Five Classics refer to The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Zhouyi and Chunqiu, which are referred to as "Poems, Books, Rites, Changes and Chunqiu" for short. Before that, there was Yue Ji, which was collectively called Poems, Books, Rites, Music, Yi, Chunqiu.

The Four Books and Five Classics are the basic bibliography of Confucianism after the Southern Song Dynasty, and they are also required books for Confucian students.
