The Thousand Character Classic (2 CDs)

This set of 2 CDs features an excellent selection of chapters of The Thousand Character Classic, a Chinese poem used as a primer for teaching Chinese characters to children.

It contains exactly one thousand unique characters, which sometimes were used to represent the numbers from 1 through 1000 (as the standard numbers could more easily be altered with an extra stroke or two). The Thousand Character Classic is sung in the same way in which children learning Latin alphabet writing do with the "alphabet song".

The CDs can be played at home, in the car, or by a portable CD player, making them a perfect tool to learn Chinese language and Chinese culture.
