Features: This book is a collection of cultural essays written by the scholar Zhu Yisa during his recent years of teaching, creating, and researching calligraphy art. The entire work not only emphasizes the unity of art, such as calligraphy, and literary expression but also embodies a strong sense of historical mission and social responsibility. Therefore, the touch on classical culture in the book holds extraordinary significance. In the book, the author not only explores and elaborates on the cultural connotations of classical art, such as bronze vessels, stone inscriptions, brick murals, and traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy tools, with a unique aesthetic sense but also observes historical trends and reflects on the common people, gaining new insights and understandings of typical cultural figures, events, and objects throughout history. Among them, A Moment in a Thousand Years describes the millennium of vicissitudes in Northern Dynasties stone inscriptions. However, the author transcends time and space, expressing heartfelt sighs over the rise and fall of many cultural treasures, which deeply moves the reader. Walking Barefoot may seem to be a trivial matter of barefoot walking, but it reveals a profound philosophical issue about the closeness between humans and nature and the return to simplicity of human nature.
