iGuanZhi is an offline workshop for the Guwen Guanzhi, not a static classic-text reader. Original, vernacular, and study English share one page. Recitation, Academy, a fable gallery, and Daily Essay then fold into ordinary days. The app includes 222 classical essays and about 6,500 sentences across 12 parts, from the pre-Qin age to the Ming, by nearly 50 authors. There are also more than 220 famous lines, 18 idioms grown from the essays, and 12 notes on form and craft. Yueyang Tower, the Memorials on Sending Out the Troops, Prince Teng, Orchid Pavilion, Peach Blossom Spring, Red Cliff, On Teachers, and the Chenqing memorial live in one place. Nothing here sits still. Close reading, recitation, practice, idioms, and Home Screen entries form one workflow. Walk from a famous line into an essay, and from an essay back to its idiom, form, and author. Browse by part, seven forms, theme, or author. Take Yueyang Tower. Read the original, open the vernacular, use study English as a ladder, recite with highlighting, practice in Academy, and find "worry first, joy later" in the fable gallery. One essay, several doors. Daily Essay sits on the Lock Screen. Recitation reads a section on the commute. At night you compare layers and keep a note. iPhone, iPad, Mac, and visionOS share the same texts.
