Preface
Chinese culture, deriving its origins from the distant past, is broad,
profound and comprehensive. It covers all fields of human endeavor
including science, art, religion, law, politics, morality, medicine and social
system. Chinese culture, with a long, long history, remains flourishing
and thriving after weathering dynastic vicissitudes over 5,000 years. The
continuity and propagation of Chinese culture have now become our
common mission. Overseas compatriots scatter around all parts of the
globe. Since most of them reside overseas for a long time, it is not easy for
them to get an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture. To fill this gap,
OCAC has invited scholars and experts at home to compile the children’s
songs, Chinese riddle-phrases, Chinese riddles, and Chinese sayings.
Written in plain language and easy to understand, the series suits overseas
compatriots with various levels of Chinese proficiency.
The progress and survival of overseas compatriots and the prosperity
of their communities depend on the effectiveness of education. The main
purposes of OCAC to compile Chinese teaching materials are to promote
understanding of Chinese culture and to enhance the Chinese proficiency
of overseas youths. It is hoped that they can obtain enlightenment from
historical experience and wisdom from the essence of Chinese culture
so that they may help lay a more solid foundation for promoting world
peace and disseminating Chinese culture through cultural integration and
assimilation.
