《弟子规》是集中国传统家训、家规、家教之大成，被誉为人生第一规，是做人之根本。
As one of the most popular primers in China, Guidelines for Children (Dizi Gui) was written by Li Yuxiu in the Qing Dynasty during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1661-1722). 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.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。
