人传播中华传统文化的中华儿女阅读、赏析与传播。
《寓言哲理故事》不仅题材丰富、词语洗练、意象生动，而且寓意深刻。其
中杰出的代表是庄子寓言故事。《中华寓言哲理故事》将深奥的哲理寄托在故事之中，通过浪漫而夸张的艺术手法，阐述天人合一、自然无为的哲学思想。中国古代哲学思辨故事虽浅显易懂却蕴意深刻，让人读之难忘，嚼之有味。像《邯郸学步》《螳臂当车》《望洋兴叹》《掩耳盗铃》等寓言故事已然妇孺皆知，
耳熟能详。
《民风民俗故事》包括了中华传统的时节时令的来历，如《年》《腊八粥》，
以及民风民俗趣谈如《财神》《月下老人》《红双喜》等，也精选了部分与民俗
相关的在民间流传甚广的民间故事。由众多民族组成的中华大家庭决定了其风
俗习惯的多样性，书中精选了比较有代表性的各民族各地区的民风民俗故事，体
现了中华民族共同恪守的行为模式和风俗习惯，是了解中华风俗习惯的切入口。
《民间传说故事》属于口头文学范畴，是世界民间文化的重要组成部分。民
间故事以口耳相传的方式在民众中世代传承，绵延不绝。民间故事内容广泛，
情节动人，具有鲜明的时代性、地方性和民族性。民间故事与民风民俗一样，
其传承力极强，有些民间故事如《孟姜女哭长城》《木兰从军》《姜太公钓鱼》《白蛇传》等在华夏大地上已然达到家喻户晓的程度。其中为著名的爱情故事《梁山伯与祝英台》深受中外读者的喜爱。
《神话传说故事》描写的时间范围往往是所谓盘古开天辟地的史前时代。神
话故事的话题多围绕人与自然之间的关系，如《女娲补天》《夸父追日》《精卫
填海》等。神话故事的典型人物往往被描述成神仙或半神仙式的英雄。神话故
事虽然是超自然的神话传奇，但很多故事有具体的发生地点和发生年代，故事
的主人公也经常是真实的人物，如《斑竹泪》《沉香救母》《神农炎帝》等。
《传统美德故事》收集的人物故事代表中华民族传统的美好品行：勤劳勇
敢、敬老爱幼、黾勉好学、刚直廉洁、真诚守信等，如《囊萤夜读》《孟母三
迁》《岳母刺字》《张良拜师》《管鲍之交》等脍炙人口的故事。中国自古以来被
称为“文明古国，礼仪之邦”。五千年的文明积淀，形成了高尚的道德准则、完
整的礼仪规范和优秀的传统美德。读者阅读这些精选的传统美德故事，感悟人
生中应具有的真善美品质，激励自己塑造完美人格，进而传承中华民族特有的
传统美德。
《经典历史故事》精选出中国历史上真实发生的、有时空穿透力的经典
历史故事，如《荆轲刺秦王》《焚书坑儒》《虎门销烟》等。还精选了在民间流
传甚广的中国古圣先贤们精忠报国、文韬武略、清正廉洁以及他们的一些奇闻
逸事，如《大禹治水》《苏武牧羊》《王安石变法》等。这些故事体现了善良的
中国百姓对清官廉政的渴望和对太平盛世、美好生活的向往。通过经典历史故
事感悟历史风尘，以史为镜重塑中华儿女之骄傲与尊严。
