English uses the Herbert A. Giles 1900/1910 public-domain translation, aligned for study. Pinyin, plain Chinese, and guides are learning aids, not academic substitutes. Many classics apps stop at showing the original text. iThree is a complete study path: understand, recite, practice, and return every day. Start with today line, recite a few lines, practice once, then add a widget. iThree helps short lines become lasting wisdom.
