What book should I send to a boy who likes classical literature and traditional culture?

From my standpoint, the following books are for reference:

Shuo Wen Jie Zi (Zhonghua Book Company Edition)

This should be a basic reference book for reading classical literature, but many people don't have it.

Zhang Taiyan's Lecture Notes (Zhonghua Book Company Edition)

This is a supplement to Zhang Taiyan's contribution to Xu Shen. Listen to Mr. Zhang Taiyan's class notes. In addition, this book is beautifully bound and printed, and the price is slightly expensive. It is estimated that most people will not be willing to buy it.

Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty (Qian Zhongshu)

This book belongs to three academic works of Qian Zhongshu, which is professional and clear. See if he likes poetry.

Pipe taper (Qian Zhongshu)

This book covers a wide range, from philosophy to comparative literature to linguistics. Moreover, the quotations with words are very old and remote, and they are difficult to read. But many scholars want to finish reading this set of books. * * * Five, or four (different versions), so the price is higher.

Notes on Thirteen Classics (Shanghai Ancient Books Edition)

There is no need to introduce this set of books, and the price is higher.

Fall into classical Chinese (Zhang Zhongxing)

This book should be an introduction to reading classical Chinese. However, although it is an introduction, I only read it in recent years and feel very rewarding. In his book, Zhang Zhongxing emphasized the matters that should be paid attention to when reading classical Chinese, and the skills he summarized from his own reading.

On the History of China's Ancient Thoughts (Li Zehou)

Real books belong to the category of philosophy history. But Li Zehou is very powerful, so there are many things beyond classical philosophy in the book. If his classical literature and traditional culture range from pre-Qin to Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this book is good.

History of China's Philosophy (Feng Youlan)

This book is similar in nature to Li Zehou, but easier to read. Li Zehou's book is very high-end in method. Feng Youlan's book is not low-end, but it is much easier to read anyway.

Ten critical books (Guo Moruo)

I wonder if he knows this book. Guo Moruo will probably be despised by him. But this book is very good and difficult to classify. According to the method of "literary criticism", this book can be regarded as "philosophical criticism". The criticism is also about classical philosophy.

Seventeen lectures on Tang and Song Ci (Ye Jiaying)

If he likes poetry, I think Ye Jiaying's books are very good. This book should be Wang Guowei's Thorn on Earth, which I admire most.

Words on earth (Wang Guowei)

He should have this book.

China Literature (Sichuan University Press)

I wonder if I can buy this set of books. I remember it was not expensive. It is an anthology of ancient Chinese prose with the nature of teaching materials. But I personally like the editor of this set of books. The articles they received were accurate and precise, and they all quoted the most reliable versions of ancient books. The annotation is just right and will not affect the reader.

I can't remember anything else for the time being. In short, it is not recommended to send Four Great Classical Novels and the Four Books and Five Classics. Everyone should have four classic novels. It is better to give him a set of authoritative notes on the Thirteen Classics, which are sold outside the Four Books and Five Classics.

Oh, I suddenly remembered two quaint books, not classical literature, but very interesting. One is Chen Julai's Notes on An Zhi Characters, and the other is Zhang Zhongxing's Negative Xuansuo Talk.

And! I read Feng Zikai's "Nursing Students" in a wooden box published in the library ... this is what I've always wanted to buy. I wonder if he is interested. In short, it is exquisite and very hidden.
