The order arranged by my grandfather was: first Zhu Xi's Primary School Collection, second Filial Piety Classic, and third Analects of Confucius." , the Fourth Mencius, the Fifth Daxue, the Sixth Doctrine of the Mean, the Seventh Book of Songs, the Eighth Book of Books, and the Ninth Book of Changes. These nine books must be memorized within two years. Moreover, the Book of Songs, Book of Books, and the Four Books must be memorized even with their annotations. In the next two years (from eight to ten years old), I finished reading Zuozhuan, Guoyu, Guoce, Zhouli, Liji, Gongyangzhuan, Guliangzhuan, Zizhi Tongjian and Xu Zizhi Tongjian."
