You might use the search feature to look for posts that have already covered this topic (jianpu). There is also an excellent overview of jianpu notation on Wikipedia. If you search Wikipedia for jianpu it will take you to a page called numbered musical notation. If you have specific questions about jianpu, post them here.
Best wishes,
David

It is simply do(1) re(2) mi(3) fa(4) sol(5) la(6) si(7)
The inner string is tuned to D (1)
The outer string is tuned to A (5)
The standard tuning is 1=D, so the 5th note (5) is A
If 1=another key, then that note is 1. All keys start at D, so the open string will have different numbers depending on where the D is on that key. For example, 1=G, the D note is 5.
A dot above the number Is octave higher, and a dot below is an octave lower.
I posted a chart about the symbols present in the notation
