I don’t exactly have a favourite, but one that’s been coming up in my conversations a lot would be the Thousand Character Classic, which is more of a pedagogical text, but it’s great for those wanting to learn the traditional Chinese characters for the language learners out here. I always recommend it to friends who are either learning / re-learning Korean because it makes things so much easier in the long run. The characters themselves are quite beautiful to write, plus there’s a lot of crossover into Chinese itself (obviously), Japanese, and Vietnamese.
I haven’t found a decent torrent to share as of late, since so many are just outright wrong, missing stroke order, missing the poems, or in an entirely different language than it’s catered to (the worst I saw was for English speakers but the entire text was in Russian!). Wikipedia has it, but it’s so clinical in presentation that it’s quite frustrating to go through without the guiding hand of a text. I might just scan mine in the future.
