Features: This series of musical essays does not challenge the infinity of music with the limitations of its own language, but simply expresses the author's own feelings about music. This feeling does not belong to musicians, music history, dictionary introductions, the mechanical configuration of instruments or ensembles, nor the brands and effects of CDs or audio equipment—it only belongs to the ripples that pass through one's mind when listening to music. Good music and good essays are both subordinate to the heart. This essay can be roughly divided into three types. First is lyrical prose; second is narrative prose about people or scenery; and third is a combination of lyricism, narration, and commentary, which may seem scattered but always revolves around music, expressing the author's reflections on life, nature, and society. When you open this collection of essays about music, the one sentence I want to tell you is: I do not understand music, I just like music. From a professional perspective, this book is undoubtedly shallow. It is merely the listening experiences of an amateur music enthusiast and general insights into music. However, it is also a collection of musical essays and written by a person engaged in literary creation, who gains a slight advantage in textual expression—at least it genuinely and accurately expresses the author's life insights that stem from music.
