Features: Colloquial language may seem easy to write as it resembles spoken words, but in terms of writing, due to a weak foundation in authentic language, few can truly master colloquial writing well. Instead, many have taken the wrong path by following the "new eight-phrase style," the "new 'zhu' and 'he' school," the "old 'me' and 'ne' style," the "new phoenix-and-butterfly school," and so on. Added to this are the confusion and ignorance in thought, resulting in numerous failures in both writing and ideas. This failure was only reversed with the emergence of Li Ao. This is a collection of essays written in a "short, sharp attack" style. The author is skilled in various writing styles, but writing such a series of "cut and paste" columns for many years was a first for him. Admiring their extraordinary mastery and enjoying their novelty, he compiled them into a book, creating a unique charm.
