Features: The articles collected in this book cover four aspects: academic travelogues, historical notes, nostalgic writings, and prefaces and book reviews. Although the styles vary, they all ultimately fall under the category of history. The book uses the Confucian scholar Song Dynasty's allusion "the moon reflects in ten thousand rivers" to embed a "moon" character, without any profound meaning. The topics discussed in the articles are mostly related to Shanghai. As the saying goes, "a hundred rivers flow into the sea," and when generalized, it becomes "ten thousand rivers flow into the sea."
