  61. 		<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The San Zi Jing was written in the 13th century to introduce children to the history of China, the great works of philosophy, and the basics of Confucian ethics.  For the modern English speaker who is learning Chinese and/or the culture of China, it is a invaluable resource and a jumping off place to reach out in multiple directions to learn more about China.  It will give you an idea of the underlying assumptions of culture taught to children for hundreds of years.  Further, it gives you a very brief history of the Chinese dynasties.  As you read, you will become familiar with the names and characters of the different ruling houses from pre-history to the Qing, the last of the dynasties.  </font>
    62. 

  62. 		<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The great works that any Chinese scholar studied and mastered are mentioned, along with commentaries. I have provided links to many sources on the bibliography page that will let you expand your knowledge of the classics. When taught to children in China, each line is expanded by the teacher into a story to explain the meaning and references. There is even a play that is performed in full costume  illustrating many of the stanzas.  Some explanations are included in the footnotes within the Flash file, but you will want to supplement items of interest or curiosity with additional material.</font></p>
    63. 

  63. 		<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Most of the characters in the San Zi Jing are still used today.  I have noted most of the ancient and literary characters, so you won't mistakenly use them in modern writing or speaking.  The San Zi Jing provides an excellent means to listen to and pronounce the tones. After you have read through it once, you might concentrate on the first and fifth sections for practice.  </font></p>
    64. 

  64. 		<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have included the characters for the San Zi Jing in both simplified and traditional form in unicode below the Flash file (scroll down) and on the text page.  You can make your own flashcards and reading aids.  </font><br>
