Features: Like a cup of fragrant and rich wine, The West Lake Chronicle presents the West Lake through scattered descriptions, offering multi-angle and all-around specific and fixed-focus switching. The clear and beautiful mountains, the gushing springs, the delicate ancient pagodas, and the exquisite pavilions are like a textual version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The content of The West Lake Chronicle is captivating, with each theme having its own unique characteristics, all reflecting the appeal to both the refined and the popular. The relationships between Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, Lin Hejing, and Yu Qian with the West Lake have been introduced in scattered articles in the past. This time, they are published as separate volumes, presenting a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the close ties between these four historical figures and the West Lake, profoundly showcasing the rich cultural connotations of the West Lake while also being highly readable. This book is part of the series and introduces Hu Qingyu Tang, known as the "Medicine King of Jiangnan." The book covers the founder of Hu Qingyu Tang—Hu Xuyan, the historical evolution, business philosophy, architectural layout and artistic style, famous traditional Chinese medicines, and the current head of the family.
