The video for this lecture is still in production. For now this page gives the text, the base-edition pages, a recording and a translation.

清順治,據神京,至十傳,宣統遜。舉總統,共和成,復漢土,民國興。
Text from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes. None of the groups in this lecture are in the base edition, Wang Xiang's Sanzijing xungu; they come from later popular editions, so there is no page scan. See 'Compared with Wang Xiang's edition' below.

From the Father's Lecture Notes

The book ends here, but more than a hundred years followed. It is not that the book was left unfinished; whoever writes a book can only write up to the day they are living in. That is the most important sentence of this lecture.

Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
