Description

In this episode on the Three Character Classic (三字经) we continue on the theme of the importance of education. And we illustrate the book’s message with a story about an unfortunate official named Bian He (卞和) from the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时代) in around 771 to 476 B.C.

The三字经 was written by the Song Dynasty (宋朝) scholar Wang Yinglin (王应麟). This 1,134 character text was one of the first textbooks used by students, and provided lessons on education, morality and ethics, science, literature, and history.
