Features: When it comes to Li Yu, he was initially almost a topic of conversation among men, somewhat private, about how to choose a woman, about the versions of The Golden Lotus, and so on, all thought to be secrets. But later, it was discovered that more and more people liked Li Yu, not just men but also women admired him. Can it be said that liking Li Yu almost stems from a man's instinct? Because Li Yu was a person who loved life and lived it artistically. Moreover, his remarkable talent was to write about life's experiences in an artistic way, which also set him apart from many other roguish scholars. Lin Yutang once said about the book On Leisurely Interests: "Another important part of Li Lako's works is dedicated to the study of the joys of life, a compact guide to the art of Chinese living, covering everything from living rooms and gardens, interior decoration, partition walls, women's dressing rooms, the art of beauty, cooking, and a series of delicacies. It explores how both the rich and the poor seek joy, the ways to alleviate boredom throughout the year, the moderation of sexual life, and the prevention and treatment of diseases."
