What is the content of the daily life of monks in monasteries, and what impact does it have on the spiritual and cultural life of the public?

It not only discusses the above issues in detail, but also incorporates rich humanistic and historical allusions on this basis to present readers with a sacred space carrying profound cultural heritage.
