Classic Sketches and Essays: Six Notes on a Floating Life to Convey Interest in Leisurely Moments
by Shen Fu
About This Novel
"Six Chapters of a Floating Life" is an autobiographical prose written by Shen Fu, a writer of the Qing Dynasty. The prose has simple words and sincere emotions, describing the ordinary home life of the author and his wife, their bumpy encounters, and their travels around the world. The predecessors once commented that "the fragrance and desolation of the triangle make you feel intoxicated when reading it." The contents in the book may be lingering and lingering, some may be leisurely and indifferent, some may be heart-wrenching, or some may be landscapes and mountains. The hurtful parts of love make people shed tears, and the parts that don't suit one's will make people nod happily and enjoy it. The language is unadorned, simple and fresh, and quite natural. Vernacular Chinese expands the artistic conception of classical Chinese. It is as concise as words, but does not lose the elegance and uniqueness of the original text. It can be said that they complement each other. "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" is a very high-level and influential autobiographical essay, which occupies a very important position in Qing Dynasty notebook literature. The book is characterized by its purity and frankness, unique expression of spirit, informality and creativity.
