Features: The purpose of editing this series of books is to save readers' time, allowing them to gain more knowledge in a shorter period. In the age of information explosion, there is too much to learn. Tutoring has become a frequent necessity. If one is not good at it, grabbing a little here and a little there, fixing this today and that tomorrow, the results may not be as good. If reading is treated like taking tonics, one may also lose the and joy that should come with reading. Each book in this series is concise, so even if readers read them slowly and savor every word, they won’t spend much time. It allows them to fully enjoy the pleasure of reading. If they choose to treat them as tonics, they are small in dosage, easy to take, and easy to digest.
"《Ancient Chinese Life, Food, Housing, and Travel》" actually reflects two important ideas of the teacher regarding the relationship between language and culture: first, language is the most important carrier of culture, and second, culture is primarily concentrated in vocabulary. This is not a work that examines classical rituals and systems; although it occasionally presents some unconventional insights that differ from established views, it mainly summarizes common facts from ancient poetry and texts, aiming to introduce them to readers in a clear and accessible manner.
