Sinology is only a part of the eight classical arts. In Canon education, western classics, mathematics, science and other disciplines also occupy a large proportion.
At present, there are many so-called Chinese studies courses on the market, some of which say that Disciples Rules are good and specialize in Disciples Rules; Some say the Book of Changes is good, so we must read it. There are also four books specially read: University, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius. There are also people who read Laozi, each with its own reasons.
Wei Yuan's sinology began with Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period.
There are several reasons:
l？ The Spring and Autumn Annals was compiled by Confucius himself, which belongs to the category of "Classics" in the research order of "Classics and History Subsets". The Analects of Confucius was not written by Confucius himself, but by his disciples.
l？ China has always had the tradition of "combining classics with history". Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period is not only a classic, but also a historical work in the Spring and Autumn Period. Reading history is not to be a pedantic scholar, but to "read history wisely", "take history as a mirror" and apply it to practice.
l？ The characters and events recorded in Chunqiu Zuozhuan are short stories, which are concrete, vivid and interesting, unlike other works of Four Books and Five Classics, which are more suitable for children's enlightenment.
l？ The Spring and Autumn Period is a special historical period in China. The intricate international relations, people's relations, foreign affairs and internal affairs, economy, culture and military affairs of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period reflect the background of Chinese civilization at that time, and are also an excellent carrier for children to analyze complex problems and conduct thinking training.
Mainly reflected in the following points:
l？ First of all, our Chinese studies have a lot of explanations, which are in line with children's psychology and are explained and expressed in the language and form that children like.

The following is part of the online course of Zuo Zhuan:
l？ Classical Chinese education pays attention to meticulous experience and games, helping children to establish their own thinking system and knowledge system, rather than instilling them blindly. At the same time, every standardized self-organizing small cell has played a great role in assisting and promoting learning.
l？ Sinology education is not an isolated subject, but usually a project-based teaching. Teamwork, data search, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures will be integrated into Chinese studies education, so that children's comprehensive ability can be improved in project practice.
