Sacrificing Otter to Eat Soles
by Xin Deyong
About This Novel
This collection of essays includes Professor Xin Deyong's articles on the research and appreciation of historical documents in recent years. The classics involved range in age from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, and their nature ranges from splendid official histories to the playful pen and ink of boring literati on the beach in Shanghai. Although most of the articles start from small issues, they do not avoid complexity. They cite a large number of parallel historical events and historical materials, develop rigorous arguments, consider the reading and meaning of sentences, pay attention to more details, and strive to reduce the gap between modern research and ancient history.
