Abstract:

Ancient classical works are the most important carrier recording the history of a nation.Reading Chinese classic books is the most direct and effective way to learn traditional culture. But for contemporary Chinese, there are two big barriers, namely, ancient Chinese language and ancient Chinese culture background knowledge. So the design and exploration of the digital reading guidance of Chinese ancient classical books are necessary to help ordinary readers. Based on the  uestionnaires of reading needs and reading behaviors, Analects of Confucius is selected as sample text, and we deconstruct it from three dimensions:characters, literary quotation, “ritual” pattern and naming system, and we then interlink them to the original text by hyperlink, producing the digital reading guidance system of Chinese ancient classical books.

Key words: Ancient classics, Ancient books digitization, Digital reading guidance, Reading guidancesystem Analects of Confucius
