Features: This book treats the random processing of appreciators without any constraints; the expressions are for reference only, except for "Reading Meng Changjun's Biography," which is a playful joke about "The Stubborn Old Man," emphasizing "cartoon-like." The readers' clear recitations will enhance the book's charm. This book is an attempt to innovate in recitation tones; amidst apparent incongruity, some passages may exhibit a certain order. At the very least, this is definitely not the mournful cry of a cicada in autumn or the chirping of a cricket; it might be a suppressed, thunderous drumbeat, or the sorrowful wind and hidden thunder lingering at the edge of the green grass. The indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation, the bold and straightforward flavor of the grasslands, is bound to intertwine with the language, music, and rhythm. Approaching it without prejudice will always reveal the jade fragments of Kunshan and the half-plumage of the majestic phoenix. The refined and knowledgeable will naturally possess sharp eyes and literary insight. In terms of music, this book is more about approaching modern four tones rather than the main point, which is to personalize recitation and free it from all artificial constraints. Whether it succeeds or not is another matter; the spirit of exploration must continue without pause. At the end, we sincerely hope for the attention and corrections of experts and readers, including this "discourse from the outside." Using the word formation method of the Book of Songs, the attitude of "I sing and chant" is the only way to "throw a brick to attract jade," and we look forward to your discussions!
