Features: "Reading a million books makes writing as effortless as if you have a divine touch." We believe that through reading this series of authoritative, well-curated, and practical books, it will not only help primary and secondary school students with their in-class and extracurricular learning and exams but also enhance their scientific and humanities literacy, laying a solid foundation for the comprehensive improvement of their Chinese literacy and lifelong development. The Grass House contains many descriptions of landscapes with classical beauty. For example, the river "shimmering under moonlight," the reeds "glistening silver at the top," the reeds like "a green tide," and the boundless reed marshes. In The Grass House, landscapes signify purity, moisture, delicacy, ethereality, fragrance, and strength. Landscapes are not only a refuge and shield for the characters' souls but also a "beauty" on par with the characters themselves. Here, there is no relationship of conquest and subjugation between the characters and the landscapes. The characters do not have the desire to dominate the landscapes, and the landscapes are also in harmony with the characters' souls.
