Features: When Qian Zhongshu was young, he studied with his uncle and father. Besides classics, history, and classical Chinese literature, he also read Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, which he loved very much. Gradually, he learned the art of parallelism and alliteration, and explored the collection of poems by Qing Dynasty masters in his family. By the time he graduated from middle school, he was already confident in writing. Qian Zhongshu wrote many poems in various styles and compiled them into a book himself. His wife, Yang Jiang, feared that the book might be destroyed in a fire, so she also handwrote three copies and hid them separately, saving them from being burned. This book was published because Mr. Qian Zhongshu fell seriously ill last year, and Mrs. Yang Jiang also suffered from overwork. They wanted to publish a small book for Qian Zhongshu. The poems in this book are arranged chronologically, recording Qian Zhongshu's thoughts and emotions, and are worth reading for those who love Qian Zhongshu.
