Features: The articles included in this book cover four aspects: academic travelogues, historical notes, nostalgic writings, and prefaces and book reviews. Although the styles vary, they all ultimately fall under the category of history. The title "Myriad Rivers Collection" uses the allusion "the moon reflects in myriad rivers" from the Song Dynasty Confucian scholars, embedding the character "moon" without any profound meaning. The topics discussed in the articles are mostly related to Shanghai. As the saying goes, "a hundred rivers flow into the sea." Extending this metaphorically, it becomes "myriad rivers flow into the sea." In this way, "myriad rivers" can be interpreted as a dual meaning, encompassing both the author and the content.
