"How did the 6-year-old Chinese prodigy Xiang Xingyu read through the four books and five classics?

The reading order of the four books and the Five Classics is the beginning of the four books, so the four books are still before the Five Classics. On the one hand, it can be said that the four books are easy to read and the articles are easy to read, because the four books are after Confucius, the five classics are before Confucius, and the articles before Confucius are more ancient and difficult to read, and the articles after Confucius are more concise and easy to read, so read from the four books.

The second aspect, although the meaning is simple from here, its meaning is not necessarily simple. Beginners can easily start reading from four books, and the four books, The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, University and The Doctrine of the Mean, suggest starting reading from The Analects. First reading of the analects of confucius, then Mencius, then University, and finally the Doctrine of the Mean. This is the reading order.

Of course, children don't necessarily read the classics in this order, but they are also advised to read the classics first and the Analects of Confucius. Although it is not to understand the meaning of the text, it is a pity that a child can't read the Analects after only reading for several months and half a year, so let him read the Analects first. The Analects of Confucius is a classic among the classics. Therefore, we should study, starting with The Analects. Children, adults and even the elderly all want to study, understand the wisdom of China people, experience the realm of saints and improve their self-cultivation. Then you should start with the classics, and the classics should start with The Analects of Confucius.

Other people's advice! ! ! Personally, I think we should start with the familiar simplicity and step by step. After all, theoretical books have to be read repeatedly to understand the essence.
