It takes you into a——Historical China, a Humanistic China; lets you——sit and enjoy the landscape, read and travel the world. This series of books has two key words: "Landscape Stories" and "Landscape Sentiment." The rich and varied "stories" behind the mountains and waters are the main characteristics of Chinese landscape. Due to the long-standing civilization and historical accumulation, as well as the long-term influence of agricultural life, the "stories" behind the landscapes in our country are particularly numerous, meaning that the cultural landscapes are especially rich, and the accumulation of historical culture is particularly profound. This series blends landscape aesthetics, anecdotes and legends, landscape literature, and local customs into one, presenting everyone with a "comprehensive collection of landscape stories."
Landscape sentiment is a special cultural mindset formed by our ancestors in the long-term agricultural society. The publication of this series in its current form is the result of the joint efforts of many colleagues and friends. Especially Mr. Luo Zhewen, who traveled across the mountains to protect cultural heritage, and the renowned photographers Gu Di, Li Yuxiang, Wu Yinnan, and Li Xiangde, provided a wealth of photographs of cultural relics, historical sites, and landscape art, adding a rich classical poetic charm to the series.
As one volume of the "Landscape of China" illustrated series, this book provides a panoramic scan of the landscape attractions, historical sites, legends and anecdotes, and local customs of Jiangxi Province, accompanied by nearly 200 illustrations. With its vibrant prose and exquisite illustrations, it stands out from the current popular travel guides that focus on information and academic works that study history and culture. It allows readers to savor the essence of "traveling" through its profound cultural depth and elegant, flowing narrative style.
