Features: A farmer happily handed over a family heirloom—a half-set of the bound edition of Essays of Ancient Chinese Literature—to the author who came to borrow books in the rain, becoming a testament to the selfless donation and trust of his hometown people toward a stranger (Xiong Zhaozheng, An Experience of Visiting a Bookstore). When the mind is calm, a thread gently flows out from the tip of the pen, like a silkworm spinning silk, or a series of melodious notes flowing from a flute (Feng Jicai, Water Ink Characters). It is a flowing house, a home that adapts to any situation, a dwelling that can move with the body and soul, shielding us from wind and rain and helping us shed dust, bustling streets, trivialities, and noise (Zhang Wei, Tent). There are no fierce whirlwinds, no illusory sea mirages, no fleeting rainbows, but instead, houses with smoke rising from their chimneys, joyful crowds, lush green Highland barley fields, and the fields of harvest (Zhang Kankang, Sea Mirage).
Xiong Zhaozheng, Chi Zijian, Feng Jicai, Zhang Wei, Li Guowen, Zhang Kankang, Su Qiqi, nearly 100 authors, and over 100 beautiful essays closely related to high school students' study and life are stirring in seven albums: Time Treasures, Essays in Excess, Essays of the Times, Fiction in Depth, Book Fragrance Discs, Classical Journey, and Youth Masterpieces. Sharp yet graceful, simple yet profound, it can be called an invaluable feast for reading.
