Features: I always feel that poetry and philosophy are fragmented, intermittent, and elusive. With over twenty-seven thousand lines of poetic dramas and layered logical works, Goethe and Hegel would not have been exhausted even after finishing them, but just the thought of it makes me overwhelmed and lost. Montaigne avoids systematic frameworks, and Nietzsche sarcastically points out that constructing systematic frameworks is dishonest—these two viewpoints make me chuckle. However, honesty is also a great challenge, for each play of the world has its own way of playing, but only humility, extreme humility, can make one a player. I follow humility, pursuing refinement and polish to this day; otherwise, why would I need literature. This book consists of three sections, with main contents including: "Cooking Fish and Guests," "Red Robe Arrives," "White Horse Soaring," "Shamanic Rites Bring Good Fortune," "Beneficial in the Western Mountains," "Graceful Yet Not Wealthy," "The Turtle of Ten Friends," "Splendor in the Garden," "Harmony in the Marshes," and "With You in Joy" and so on.
