Features: This book is a collection of "essays" selected from the author's extensive reading notes from the 1980s to 1994. It is divided into four parts: literature, history, philosophy, and learning, basically reflecting the author's random thoughts while reading Chinese and Western books outside of academic pursuits. The author sits comfortably in the "book nest," soaring to the extremes of thought, connecting with the past, and wandering between the literature, history, philosophy, and learning of ancient and modern China and the world. When inspired, the author writes freely,. The articles are scattered yet rhythmic, short yet interesting, like flowing clouds and clear water, pleasing to the eye and heart.
