Features: "Look at life; look at the world, witness great events with your own eyes; look at the faces of the poor and the posture of arrogant figures; look at strange things—machines, armies, the masses, shadows of forest dwellers and moon people; look at human work—their paintings, city walls, and discoveries; observe things thousands of miles away; things hidden behind walls and layers, close yet dangerous; the women loved by men and numerous children; look and find joy; look and be amazed; look and gain enlightenment." Overall, the history of humanity is a history hidden deep within the jungle of books. It is like a vast river flowing in the darkness, relying on complex records of various texts and images, and requires the extraordinary imagination of people to faintly recognize it. This state has persisted for thousands of years, so that when we look back at this long history, it is like navigating through the darkness with great difficulty.
