Features: The inspiration for writing this book came from the creative idea of Chen Hong, an editor at Sichuan Literature and Art Publishing House. She said that being able to read a slightly profound monograph on automotive culture was not only her own dream but also that of car enthusiasts for many years. Now, whether the book "Car - A Rhapsodic March" presented before the readers has fulfilled this "expectation value" remains to be seen. At the same time, heartfelt thanks are expressed to Mr. Zhou Xiaochuan of "Car Magazine" and some online authors for their strong support for this book. As a verb, "car" flickers in people's obsession with speed and their yearning for unfamiliar places. Before we have had time to reflect on this paradox, the flowing light and shadow have already opened up a poetic and lyrical space for experience.
Taking the car as a coordinate, this book explains the immense impact of cars on human life from perspectives such as culture, aesthetics, fashion, and sports. The emergence of cars is not only the end of the era of sluggish progress but also an further expansion of horizons and experiences. Cars have now become the essence of movement and aesthetics.
