Features: "A Soft Time Overflowing with Fragrant Tea" takes "Cultural Masters Discussing Their Tea Ties" as its main theme, selecting over seventy renowned chapters and masterpieces by writers, artists, and thinkers from the 20th century onwards. In the misty aroma of tea, the wise have gained poetic sentiments. They are not only refined tea drinkers but also deep observers of life. Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Liang Shiqiu, and Lin Yutang's writings are like Tieguanyin, with enduring charm; while those of Xiao Qian, Wang Zengqi, Zhong Jingwen, Jia Pingwa, Yu Qiujiu, Dong Qiao, and Zhang Chengzhi resemble green tea, with subtle and lingering meanings. A pot of tea can make the world small like a gourd; within it, the wise see a life of leisure and elegance; what we read is the mortal world beyond the bitterness and fragrance of tea. A cup of fragrant tea, a soft time, flows into our hands through this book. In the exquisite words, we savor the years that emit the aroma of tea.
