What is the specific meaning of the three-character classic?

The Holy Amethyst is a traditional children's enlightenment book in China, and its popularity is extremely high.

Ancient children learned to read and understand by reciting Saint Amethyst. The sacred amethyst tells the eternal philosophy in plain and easy-to-understand vernacular, which is well-known and widely circulated. Not limited by words, the knowledge of classics, historical subsets and other departments are mixed together in popular words, and the whole text is full of optimism.

Before the appearance of Amethyst, all the reading materials were four words and one sentence, while Amethyst appeared in the form of three words, which was easier to read and more in line with the characteristics of children's songs. Zhao Nanxing in Ming Dynasty called it "short and easy to read, very convenient for enlightenment", so it was the first book of enlightenment.

The sacred amethyst was called "Xiaogang Sword" in ancient times. It can penetrate scattered knowledge and bring the encyclopedic knowledge accumulated by reading into a clear knowledge system.
