What books can I read to increase my understanding of China's traditional culture?
Let me give you a more accurate answer! I hope you can adopt it.

One: The Five Classics of Chinese Studies-Yi Dao's Yi Confucianism Interpretation, namely I Ching, Tao Te Ching, Huangdi Neijing, Analects of Confucius and Six Ancestors Tanjing. Among them, the way of Yin and Yang, the way of nature, the way of keeping in good health, the way of being a gentleman and inner meditation are the themes of every Confucian classic. If you understand the core ideas of these five Confucian classics, then you have mastered the inner essence of China traditional culture.

Two walls of historiography-Historical Records and History as a Mirror. These two historical masterpieces must thoroughly grasp all kinds of important events in each historical period, understand the characters through historical facts, understand their hearts through characters, and tap their inner thoughts and thoughts, so as to guide you to make better progress more accurately and prevent repeating the same mistakes. This is based on history. As a mirror, look at the thread-bound edition, the collection of 18 volumes, so that we can fully grasp the history of the three warring States families from the Jin Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, and then look at Wang Liqun's reading of Historical Records, which is a shortcut. There are also a series of books, such as Things in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Poetry is not like smoke (the most classic is written in April and May) and Han Dynasty (1).

Three: Thirty-six plans of Sun Tzu's Art of War: We mainly look at Sun Tzu's Art of War. This 1 1 article focuses on tactics, while the campaign article (the theory of quick victory) and the plot attack article (the theory of total victory) are the leading ideas, and the situation articles complement each other. This is the skill of dispatching troops, and the virtual and real articles are typical of the tactics. Because it's classic, take it as an example to understand the meaning carefully. Military struggle is an indispensable element in the battle and a comprehensive introduction to tactics. The thought of taking detours as a straight line and taking suffering as the benefit runs through the whole article, and a personal summary should be made in combination with the first six articles. Nine changes are a new idea, and the specific things are analyzed in detail. Nine means more. Anything can happen on the battlefield. Therefore, we should be flexible, improvise and never be opportunistic. It will only be self-defeating and self-deception. Marching and military struggle are both external and internal, and the skills of marching affect the success or failure of military struggle, so we must pay attention to them. As an extension of extracurricular activities and a supplement of common sense, it is very important to use terrain to win. Firepower attack and actual attack are both part of tactics. Because they are classics, fire attacks are common in history. In these three countries alone, there are new oil fields, red cliffs and 700 miles of joint ventures. Using space is a combination of internal and external tactics, and using spies is the basis of psychological warfare, so we should grasp it carefully. After reading the whole article, you will feel the importance of a general. A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Then grasp the thought of Sun Tzu's art of war and look at thirty-six plans. You will learn and use various tactics flexibly. Although the method is important, the core idea needs to be grasped. It is in Sun Tzu's Art of War. In addition, you can look at Sun Bin's The Art of War and Taigong's The Art of War. Gu Yan-nan must never be belligerent, but he must understand soldiers, so I wrote so much specifically.

Four: "Dream of Red Mansions": If you don't read "Dream of Red Mansions", you will be disappointed if you read all the poems. I have no ability to express the literary value of A Dream of Red Mansions. If you understand the relationships of hundreds of people in it, you are dealing with the interpersonal relationships around you, which is a piece of cake. In addition, mastering more poems and literary descriptions is good for your writing, speaking and thinking. This must be read, and then you can read the remaining three works of the four classical novels, as well as the works of Yu, Jia Pingwa, Lin Yutang, Yu Dafu and others. There is no end to literature. The works of famous foreign writers Hugo, Shakespeare, Mo Bosang, Chekhov, O'Henry and others should be worshipped in order to inherit the teachings of our ancestors and carry forward the China tradition.

Five: A hundred schools of thought contend, taking Confucianism as the teacher. Poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to expand learning with personal interests. Three religions and nine streams, all kinds, look roughly and get a question and answer. Traditional culture is extensive and profound, so we should look for our own corresponding reading materials and study fields according to our own personality, but only grasp one core idea, namely, the formed socialist outlook on life and values, the way of being a gentleman in The Analects of Confucius and divination in The Book of Changes, which are introduced in detail, and we can experience it slowly.
