Features: The Great Scholar Su Dongpo of the 5,000-year-old civilization of China completed The Easy Commentary on the I Ching in his later years. He sighed while looking at the book, saying, "It seems that there will be no more true friends in this world today, but I believe that in the future, there will be gentlemen who can fully interpret my heart's melody." His younger brother Su Zhe had these words inscribed on his brother's tombstone. For decades, I have been studying Su Dongpo's poems, prose, and essays, pondering The Easy Commentary on the I Ching, following his footsteps, and attempting to relive his experiences. Su Dongpo: The Flow of Eternity is both my most proud literary creation and my most outstanding research achievement.
The author, Long Yin, who worked for many years in the modern "Hanlin Academy" and "Zhongshu Sheng," says, "My Su Dongpo's Poetic Calligraphy can capture the essence of Su Dongpo; Long Yin's Su Dongpo: The Flow of Eternity comprehensively, authentically, and vividly recreates Su Dongpo's life." After reading this book, the renowned Chinese painter Chi Xue was so moved that he happily wrote the title and generously donated his classic painting as the cover.
