Features: The world is a big book, and those who have never traveled have only read one page of it. Any point of longitude and latitude on Earth does not exist in isolation; even the most beautiful scenery is not a garden newly built on an isolated island yesterday. Placing it in the coordinates of macro geography, we discover that it is a link in a complex chain. Placing it in the coordinates of time, we understand its origins and development. Although the coordinates of history and culture are intertwined with geography at all times, the clues they leave us are often like spider silk in sunlight—hard to see at a glance, unsure of where they extend, and unaware of how many more threads they may pull out. Everyone's journey is different, and their perspectives and abilities vary, but Donne's funeral bell tolls for the entire world, and Cain's wandering and Job's scales have long transcended individual significance.
