The San-tzu ching (Three-character Classic), the most recited primer in traditional China, has an appealing style and imparts both useful information and Neo-Confucian values. Mistakenly attributed to Wang Ying-lin (1223-1296), it was probably written by a pragmatic author during the Mongol period.
