I have seen Walden Pond here twice before, but it seems that this is not the version I saw. I didn't think so the first few times, but this time I found the writing too difficult to understand, so I found another translation to read. This time I have finally clarified the context of the entire book Walden. In the future, when people ask me what the book is specifically about, I can give some answers and discussions. To sum up, it can be said that Thoreau is talking about a Spartan life similar to what he said, that is, only the simplest and most basic living conditions are required. What is repeatedly said on the other side is the pursuit of spiritual renewal every day. Just like the energy and freshness you can feel every morning. What impressed me a lot is, what is the most worthwhile thing, a full banquet or a little bread? How about spending a day wandering on the surface of Walden Pond, or observing and listening to birds and animals?
