A crescent moon hangs in the sky, like water.

Features: This is a poetry collection designed to bring you joy rather than suffering, to let you enjoy rather than "study." Flip through it at random, and you'll instantly enter a relaxed and delightful space, as if you're seeking relief from the summer heat or gathering around a winter hearth with a knowledgeable, refined, and lively young friend, who chats at ease, following the flow of the moment. You'll broaden your horizons, find conversation starters, and gain deeper insights into certain verses. More importantly, once you're in, you'll feel and enjoy it. You can read it here and there—two pages before bed last night, a few lines in the morning while using the restroom, or recite a line inspired by the scenery on your commute. Eventually, after immersing yourself for a long time and turning the pages until they're worn, congratulations—you've at least acquired the grace of a well-read person. A Hook of the New Moon, the Sky Like Water is part of the "The Same Poem" series. This book, with its fresh creativity, reinvigorates classical Chinese poetry, bringing back the joy and delight inherent in the verses, and serves as a comprehensive reader for appreciating classical poetry. Since the late Tang Dynasty, poets have emerged one after another, each leading their own style. Li Houzhu's spring flowers and autumn moons were just beginning when Su Dongpo's waves crashed ashore, rolling like a thousand piles of snow. Although Li Qingzhao, with her "thin as" and "unbearable sorrows," couldn't stop the flowing water before her tower from heading "east"—all that's in the past. When it comes to the great figures of the times, let's turn to this book!
