Features: The writing and publication of this book spanned over five years, finally coming to a close. During these years, the initial ideas and concepts of the book were revised and transformed multiple times. Some materials once deemed useful were eventually abandoned, while new materials and clues were discovered instead. All these experiences demonstrate that the writing process itself is a continuous journey of exploration, research, learning, and rediscovery, allowing the author to truly feel the essence of endless learning, never stopping, and that there is always more to discover. At the same time, this writing process was also a journey of internal thoughts colliding and elevating, filled with the frustration of "reaching a dead end in the mountains and rivers" and the joy of "finding a new village in the shade of willows and flowers." The joys and sorrows within are not easy to share with others. What moved me deeply was that the initial bold ambitions had completely transformed into the anxious unease of "walking on thin ice" by the time the book was finally completed. With this profound unease, the author will continue on this journey. The rest, let the peers judge.
