Features: The 64 questions in this book are divided into four of Lu Shuxiang's works on language and characters: "Random Talks on Language and Characters," "Common Talk on Language and Characters," "Random Notes on Language and Characters," and "Late Bloomer's Chats on Language and Characters." The complete collection of 64 questions is titled "Chats on Language and Characters." In the article "Cutting Through the Mess—The Confusing Accounts in Chinese Characters and Scripts," it is written that the chaotic and indiscriminate use of Chinese characters, as well as the tendency to blindly follow ancient or foreign styles in written Chinese, are two pressing problems today. The article advises young people to learn some language knowledge. Therefore, we have added a subtitle to "Chats on Language and Characters": "Lu Shuxiang Explains Characters, Phrases, Sentences, and Words." The material for the 64 questions in "Chats on Language and Characters" comes from the 19-volume edition of "The Complete Works of Lu Shuxiang" published by Liaoning Education Press in December 2002. Lu Shuxiang's various works are precious contributions he made to society. The topics included in "Chats on Language and Characters" cater to the needs and interests of young scholars. Under this principle, every small editorial detail has been carefully considered.
