"Sound China: The Charm and Possibility of Speech" is the latest masterpiece by Professor Chen Pingyuan of the Department of Chinese at Peking University.

The "Thirteen Classics Han and Wei Ancient Annotations Series" is a set of Confucian classic ancient annotations carefully sorted out by professional scholars for many years, including 13 kinds of Confucian classics, including "Zhou Yi Note", "Shang Shu Biography", "Mao Shiji", "Zhou Li Note" and "Li Li Note". The selection of books in the series is based on the ancient notes of Han and Wei collected in the "Four Series", supplemented by other Song and Yuan rare books. In order to adapt to the reading habits of modern people, this series of books has been changed to horizontal row, but in order to maintain the original appearance of ancient books, traditional characters are used, and the norms of ancient books are strictly followed, which can help readers solve the problem of too little white text and too complicated annotations, and provide a detailed and appropriate reading book.
