Features: Whenever I visit an important museum and see something I like, which matches the prints I've seen in books before, I start to feel exhausted, unable to eat or drink, as if in a trance. Before even stepping out of the museum gate, I've already mixed up all the things I've seen. After leaving the museum gate, I must find a place to sit down and calm down properly. I remember one time, I sat quietly at a café for a while, then wrote a postcard, and I remember writing a sentence: "I met a once beautiful face." But who exactly that face belonged to, I've already mixed them all up. This book is a travelogue of Chen Danyan, who spent 10 years accumulating material to write it. Walking past the unforgettable treasures collected by humans, watching the world and oneself transform from wood into a boat. This book records the author's reflections from traveling around the world, including articles such as "Greek Statues," "Italian Wine Bottles and Wisdom," and "The Entrance of the Louvre."
