metadata.value: Sanzijing or The Three Character Classic was one of the first books for school education in ancient
  China for hundreds of years. The book contains basic knowledge about Chinese culture,
  philosophy, geography, history, and the like. It is written in metrical prose: each line consists of
  three characters and every four lines form one stanza. The book Sanzijing was also important
  material for teaching Chinese to foreign missionaries who came to China after the 16th century.
  In this article we compare two Russian translations of this book in two manuscripts in the
  Department of Manuscripts of the Library of the Academy of Sciences. These two are attributed
  by V. P. Taranovich and P. E. Skachkov to Illarion K. Rossokhin (1717–1761), a student of
  the second Russian Ecclesiastic Mission. A comparison of the two translations showed that the
  text in one manuscript was translated by Rosskhin, while another was translated by another
  person earlier. The earlier translation is likely to have been completed under Peter the Great:
  this is evidenced by features of the orthography, lexis, and grammar that were specific to this
  period. Further, the translations had different purposes: Rossokhin’s translation contained explanations
  and was aimed at teaching Chinese, while the other was translated word by word
  and had no clear didactic purpose.
