Features: In recent years, I hosted a program called "Deep Thoughts on Beauty" on IC Radio. The part about life aesthetics was compiled and edited by Yang Yuxin of Yuanliu Publishing House into this book, "The Great Beauty of Heaven and Earth." "The great beauty of heaven and earth lies in its silence" is a sentence from Zhuangzi, which I love and often quote. Therefore, I adopted it as the book title. This episode, "The Great Beauty of Heaven and Earth," is a recorded text of multiple broadcasts, discussing the seemingly insignificant aspects of "food, clothing, shelter, and transportation," as well as the countless small details in the most ordinary lives. There is a character in Chinese characters that deserves deep reflection—it is the character "" (máng). If you write it down, it is "" (heart) plus the "" (death) of the heart. If you are too busy, your heart will surely die. I love the name of an ancient Chinese architectural structure called "" (tíng). Perhaps you all have an impression—when hiking, you suddenly come across a pavilion, or when walking by a stream, you suddenly see one. The presence of a pavilion is a reminder and suggestion: "Stop walking! This scenery is truly magnificent."
