Features: Like Mona Lisa's smile, the life of his God, the Renaissance giant Leonardo da Vinci has always held a mysterious allure for readers in our country. Leonardo not only made significant contributions to fields such as optics and anatomy as early as 500 years ago but also demonstrated extraordinary imagination in designing war machinery, new cities, and carnival balls.
