"Classic Stories for Children" – three volumes in total

I'm continuing the story of my trip to Taiwan. This year I went back partly on business, so for the last week my Czech colleagues met up with me and we took part in events in Taiwan together. Of course, I wanted to show them the beauty of Taiwan! Over the past eight years I've been back to Taiwan five times in total. On my first four visits I didn't set foot in a single temple, but this time I visited at least six in one go (not counting the ones where we only stopped on the way to take a look). The biggest impression? Taiwanese temples are truly rich! Especially Xingtian Temple!

So many people work at Xingtian Temple that it clearly surpasses all the other well-known temples. Worshippers and visitors are offered plenty of printed materials free of charge, including postcards, bookmarks and even a few books! Among them is the hero of this article, "Classic Stories for Children".

The set has three volumes in total: "Wise Rulers and Sovereigns", "Famous Ministers and Good Chancellors" and "Sage Emperors and Generals". All the texts have zhuyin transcription, which makes reading easier for children. Parents, come and borrow them from the Prague Traditional Chinese Library and have your children read them! They will practice their Chinese and read stories at the same time!
