skylee Posted June 11, 2007 at 09:27 AM Report Posted June 11, 2007 at 09:27 AM As the book title suggests, the book is intended for pre-school kids. They are expected to memorise the texts in there, which will form the foundationof their knowledge in Chinese. The one you cited is a poem written by the great poet Li Bai of Tang Dynasty.
