Features: This book is divided into five sections by genre: Poetry, Historical Fiction, Prose Sketches, Satire, and Literary Criticism. Except for the "Literary Criticism" section, each of the other sections is arranged in chronological order. The first part is poetry. The second part is historical fiction, which he has been writing since his youth. The earliest piece, "The Coming of Doom," was included by Lu Xun in The Great Series of New Chinese Literature: Volume II: Fiction. The fourth part is satire. The later literary criticism and biography sections feature Feng Zhi as a scholar, who has made significant contributions to Du Fu studies and Goethe studies. Additionally, the author has included the prefaces or postfaces of four books—Northbound and Other Poems, Quatrains, Wu Zixu, and Landscape—as appendices in this book, which can help readers better understand these works.
