Description
The Thousand Character Classic (千字文) is a Chinese poem used as a primer for teaching Chinese characters to children. It contains exactly one thousand unique characters. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty (r. 502-549) made Zhou Xingsi (周興嗣) compose this poem for his prince to practice calligraphy. The original title of the poem was 《次韻王羲之書千字》 and it is sung in the same way in which children learning Latin alphabet writing do with the alphabet song. 《千字文》是用來教授兒童基本漢字的一首長韻文。它是一篇由一千個不重複的漢字組成的文章。據說是南朝梁（502年─549年）的梁武帝為其公主練習書法，而委託周興嗣（470年─521年）創作的。原名為《次韻王羲之書千字》。
