Features: Based on the vast life experience of the author and the extensive works, this book selects segments and focuses on hot issues. It adopts a simple and accessible form, titled "On the World" and "On Learning," to capture the author's insightful remarks and trace his intellectual journey. This aims to benefit readers of all ages in meeting the master and entering his highly captivating spiritual world. In fact, the specific opportunity for this is that the author, in many of his writings, writes in plain language to facilitate learners and guide the younger generation, avoiding ornate style and always revealing wisdom in every word. As the author said, in the three realms of philosophy, literature, and textual research, "I am not good at philosophy, nor do I like it." However, according to our understanding, if it comes to discussing people and the world, or talking about the academic world, the author is well-versed and seems to have endless things to say. Moreover, in truth, he speaks directly and straightforwardly, without any trace of "big principles." Therefore, we have chosen "" (recorded sayings) as the framework, with the selected texts remaining colloquial to better connect with readers. Yet, they still contain profound insights and sharp observations, with every word like pearls and every sentence like golden needles. It feels as if one is bathed in a refreshing breeze, only to realize that spring is in the air, full of vitality.
