Features: One wing is fiction, the other is poetry. One wing is Ming and Qing fiction, the other is Tang poetry. One wing is Dream of the Red Chamber, the other is Li Shangyin's poetry. The author is deeply fond of this pair of wings. After publishing Red Chamber Revelations, the new essays on "Red Chamber" and "Li" have been compiled into this small book. A contemporary writer is deeply devoted to a writer from centuries ago and a poet from over a thousand years ago—Wang Meng, with his writer's spirit and insights, attempts to transcend the barrier of centuries to savor, analyze, and approach Cao Xueqin and Li Shangyin, who are immersed in the highest realm of Chinese literature. This is an exploration of the unique thinking, emotions, pursuits, and artistic realms of literary creators. A spark of understanding reveals profound insights, capturing the essence of ancient and modern hearts.
