Features: Life requires two kinds of spaces—material space and spiritual space. As the flower of civilization, literature provides humanity with a vast spiritual space for survival. Human life is like flowing water, once gone, never to return. Only literature and art can often recapture people's past life experiences or enter another life that is worthy of longing. For this very reason, when you have finished your work and eaten your meal, sitting by your desk or under the trees, with a book in hand, you can roam through the past and present, transcending the material world, gaining knowledge, refining your temperament, nourishing your life, and soothing your soul. Reading good literary works is like a good teacher giving face-to-face instruction, like friends sharing tea at night, like lovers confiding in each other, or like listening to the wind and rain during Qingming and enjoying the springtime in Beihu. With the green ducks filling the river and the fading red flowers, one laments the late arrival of spring in March, still cold. RemEMBERING THE EASTERN Wu at this time of year, the river is filled with green ducks, playing with the remaining red flowers.
