三字經 by Yinglin Wang

"三字經" by Yinglin Wang is a Chinese classic text probably written in the 13th century. Composed in easily memorized three-character verses, this foundational educational work taught children common characters, grammar, Chinese history, and Confucian morality, especially filial piety. Until the late 1800s, it served as a child's first formal education, forming the basis of elementary learning alongside two other texts. Through oral recitation, the work survived centuries, helping students recognize roughly 2,000 characters before advancing to more complex studies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
