Features: Like a cup of fragrant and rich wine, The West Lake Anthology presents the West Lake through scattered descriptions, offering multi-angle and comprehensive portrayals with specific and dynamic shifts. The clear and beautiful mountains, the gushing springs, the exquisite ancient pagodas, and the delicate pavilions resemble a textual version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The content of The West Lake Anthology is captivating, with diverse themes that cater to both refined and popular tastes. The relationships between Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, Lin Hejing, and Yu Qian with the West Lake have been introduced in scattered articles before, but this time they are published as separate volumes, providing a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the close ties between these four historical figures and the West Lake. This not only profoundly showcases the rich cultural connotations of the West Lake but also offers high readability. This book is part of a series. The close relationship and profound connection between eminent monks and the West Lake are an indispensable aspect of West Lake culture. This book focuses on the exceptional ties between eminent monks and the West Lake, divided into six parts for elaboration: the founding abbots of ancient temples and famous monasteries; eminent masters of various sects; monks with extensive writings and knowledge; monks skilled in poetry, calligraphy, painting, and music; monks with miraculous deeds and supernatural abilities; and monks from foreign cultures involved in cultural exchange.
