Qian Zi Wen, the Thousand Character Classic, was written between 507 and 521 C.E. by Zhou Xing- Si in the Lian Dynasty. It is one of China?s oldest classics. For hundreds of years it has been used to teach reading to Chinese children. Qian Zi Wen is composed of 1000 characters; there is not a single character repeated. The text is broken into 250 lines of four characters each. Every two lines form one unit and, in most cases, every four lines form a stanza with a regulated rhyming scheme. This system of characters, organized into a coherent and rhythmic form, makes learning and reading Chinese easier and more interesting. ISBN given as 097599090X.
