三、还原信息
China is a country with a long history. It has great traditional culture. Among the Chinese classics, The Book of Songs (《诗经》) and Historical Records (《史记》) are two of the most important works. 1.
Shijing, also known as The Book of Songs, is the earliest collection of poetry in China. 2. This book not only describes people's daily life, but also teaches people to be honest and strong. Among all the poems in this book, my favourite is called Homecoming after the War (《采薇》). This poem mainly talks about how soldiers had to leave their homes to fight for many years. They missed their homeland very much. 3. By reading the poem, we
can feel their sadness and see how hard the wars could be.
Historical Records, or Shiji, is the first biographical (传记) general history of China. Sima Qian, an official of the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-8 A.D.), wrote it. It covers Chinese history from the Yellow Emperor to the early Han Dynasty. This book is divided into 130 chapters (篇章). We can read the stories of many people in this book. 4. For example, there's Da Yu, who tried so hard to stop a big flood. For the safety of the common people, he refused to enter his home many times when he passed by.
