Collected by Zhou Zuoren: Quotations from the Medicine Hall
by Zhou Zuoren
About This Novel
"Zhou Zuoren's Collected Works: Quotations from the Medicine Hall" 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". The title "Quotations" is not intended to imitate Confucianism and Buddhism and record one's own words and deeds for future generations, but to "speak more concisely" and select a few points to capture some flash of thought. Although the author claims that these articles are not intended to be critical, but only "lay out several kinds of herbs on the table" and "arrange some medicines", the spirit of "disease of falsehood" and "love of truth" is everywhere in the writing. Good medicine does not have to be bitter, and a tea soup that relieves summer heat may be more effective for the appetite. Zhitang's article is exactly this kind of tea soup with a suitable density and relief from summer heat.
