Features: When it comes to Western style, it always brings to mind the scenery of the Mediterranean, the beaches of Hawaii, Italian pizza, and French wine. Indeed, A Glimpse into Western Style is not intended to present readers with serious and academic symphonies, but rather the light and elegant side of Western culture. For any nation, customs and traditions are the source of their river of tradition. In A Glimpse into Western Style, whether it's the colorful eggs of Easter, the stories of Thanksgiving, or the ancient folk customs of Scandinavian villages, they all seem to evoke a distant call. A Glimpse into Western Style strives to go beyond the mundane and seek the rich cultural essence implied in the word "style." Therefore, when organizing the material, the book does not choose modern skyscrapers or other trendy urban cultures, but repeatedly turns its gaze to the green myths of the American West and the enchanting world of Viennese waltzes. In the chapters themed around sports and education, it places the elegant sport of golf, the ancient British public schools, and the Cambridge and Oxford revered by students into the tunnel of time, seeking a stereoscopic image in the traditional sense for them.
