Features: Wandering through bustling streets, one always yearns for ancient alleys; roaming in noisy shopping malls, one always longs for secluded temples. Those accustomed to city life always cherish the tranquility and serenity of ancient towns. Thus, we travel through the time tunnel of words to get closer to that distant Jiangnan town—Shaoxing. This book selects beautiful and exquisite writings from famous scholars and literati throughout history, expressing their reflections on the history and cultural charm of Shaoxing. Through vivid and lifelike texts, it showcases the natural beauty of Shaoxing, where "eight hundred miles of lake scenery converge here, and the long bridge flows into Jian Lake," as well as the scholarly elegance and humanistic sentiments of "Jian Lake and Yue Terrace, a land of famous scholars." This book is a humanistic memory of Shaoxing, an emotional journey across time that transcends the limits of the Wu culture.
