Features: We might be destined to live a life, but there's no reason to live a one. If we can discover and create joy like Li Yu did, our lives would become rich and exciting. From maturity to luxury, from refinement to aesthetics—in a certain sense, this is also the pursuit and standard we aimed for in creating this book. In today's increasingly materialistic and rushed world, we believe such leisure books are undoubtedly worth. Both Lin Yutang and Zhou Zuoren highly appreciated his works in this regard. Lin Yutang, when talking about the book "," said: "A significant part of Li Laogong's writings focuses on the study of life's joys, serving as a concise guide to the art of Chinese living. From living quarters to gardens, interior decoration, room partitioning, women's grooming, beauty, applying makeup, the art of cooking, and a series of delicacies—both the rich and the poor seek joy in these ways. The paths to alleviate sorrow and boredom throughout the year, the moderation of sexuality, and the prevention and treatment of diseases."
