Zhou Zuoren's Classic Works: Quotations from the Medicine Hall
by Zhou Zuoren
About This Novel
"Yaotang Quotations" contains 50 essays written by Zhou Zuoren around 1940. It is a new attempt in his prose writing style. It is short in length and is close to "notes written by predecessors". Zhou Zuoren said: "Originally, according to the old rules of Confucianism and Buddhism, quotations are the daily words and deeds of the master recorded by his disciples. Wang Zhongyan of Yangzi wrote the book himself, which is very criticized by future generations. Why should we learn it again? This so-called quotation is actually just a name with the same name, and there is no similarity in content. This is what we should do It needs to be explained. "As for the name of the Herbal Medicine Hall, it is meaningless, but it can be said that there is some reason why there is no other name here. Even if it is meaningful, it is fair to say that the articles are not meant to be critical, but the books mentioned in them are all ancient Chinese books, especially there are many notes. These articles all reveal the author's comments and sorting out of ideological and cultural aspects, from which we can see some flashes of the author's thoughts, which should be read frequently and always new.
