推理判断题
Think and share:
Why do you think Chinese classics are popular outside of China
There are various reasons for the wide spread of Chinese classics. Fristly, some classics may tell people how to get along well with others and how to behave well to be an honest man, while others may refer to the laws and principles of all things, which will trigger people’s thoughts. Secondly, readers’ interest, famous sinologists’ recommendation, and even whether the book sells well are factors related to it. Besides, the development of economy and the rise in global influence also contribute to the wide spread of Chinese classics.
