Learning Pilgrimage to the West Without Obstacles

by Wu Cheng'en

Learning Chinese Classics without Obstacles is a real accessible series. Pilgrimage to the West, written by Chengen Wu is one of the series. We scientifically put the notes in the texts, instead of putting them at the bottom of each page or at the end of the text, as what is usually arranged as a tradition. In this way, readers will know the meanings and pronunciations of the rarely used words and expressions at once when they see these words and expressions. And there is no need to find the notes at the page bottom or at the end of the text. This layout will help maintain the coherence of reading, and avoid readers losing interest caused by repeatedly and frequently checking notes for the rarely used words and expressions, thus realizing the accessible reading.
