Famous poet Zang Kejia wrote this collection of appreciations based on his six decades of creative experience. From it, one can see how outstanding ancient poems and prose, as the essence of Chinese civilization accumulated over millennia, deeply touch the poet's heart, inspire poetic inspiration, and influence poetic creation. The book includes Wu Mengchong's "Wind Enters the Pine," reflections inspired by Song Huizong's "Yanshan Pavilion," Su Dongpo's "Qin Garden Spring," correspondence between Zang Kejia and Deng Guangming on Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong," an appreciation of Su Dongpo's "River Town in Spring · A Dream," and thoughts on Su Dongpo's "Water Moon Over the Town · When Will the Bright Moon Appear."
