It is based on the ancient teaching of the Chinese philosopher Confucius that emphasizes the basic requisites for being a good person and guidelines for living in harmony with people. The Chinese version was written in three-character verses for the sake of smooth reading. To keep the original style, the English translation is also written in three-word verses without the loss of content, in order to help the English readers not only understand the text but also capture the essence of Chinese civilization that belongs both to China and to the whole world.【节选】Children should abideBy Confucius guide:Respect elders n parent;Be trustworthy n prudent.【释义】弟子规这本书是孔子对学生的生活规范。首先要孝顺父母，尊敬兄长，其次要做到言语行为小心谨慎而讲信用。This book consists of the guidelines handed down by ancient sages on being a good student and child.
