Features: The records and descriptions of past human geographical landscapes serve as the main basis for historical geography and are also important cultural resources. Some of these texts are even excellent literary works, constituting part of humanity's cultural heritage. These writings also provide a way to understand the author's mindset and emotions, serving as a basis for studying the author. Whenever we read these texts, we not only can appreciate the long-lost human landscapes but also experience the culture of the past alongside the author's emotions. With one article in sight and one volume in hand, though it is merely a glimpse of the sky through a tube or a measure of the sea with a ladle, its charm is endless. Zhejiang is adorned with beautiful mountains and rivers, abundant in people and resources, and renowned for its gathering of scholars and the emergence of famous figures. It boasts an extremely rich historical and cultural landscape. Through this series of "Famous Personalities and Human Geography" edited by Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House, readers can watch a traditional opera with Lu Xun, take a boat ride in a wupeng boat with Zhou Zuowei, raise spring silkworms with Mao Dun, chat about Yuan Yuan Hall with Feng Zikai, reminisce about West Lake with Yu Pingbo, and explore the Fuchun River with Yu Dafu. Zhejiang is the author's hometown, but he has been away from it for forty-five years. Moreover, at his age, he has long lost the opportunity to witness the experiences of the masters. Therefore, he eagerly anticipates this new series of books as well.
