The dust in the bustling world is so ordinary that it is real
"What I glimpsed was a bit of sincerity in the smoke and dust of the beacon fire." Set aside the dust without history and hide in the prosperous ordinary. The so-called reality that the world sees is a gorgeously decorated appearance, with such an obvious meaning of desire and blame. Such a sincere insight, putting aside the limitations brought by historical records, and seeing a little bit of ordinaryness and a little bit of true feelings behind the glorious life from what one sees and thinks, makes people feel moved and a little relieved. Not everyone is misunderstood, there is always someone who will understand the little faith you support. Even though it is small, it is deeply touching and has a long lasting aftertaste.
I like the women who come out of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. They are swaying and fragrant, they are as tender as water, and they have a clear sense of love and hate. Those beauties and sorrows, please listen to me slowly describe them...
Very pretty
It's so beautiful. I bought a paper copy before and now I'm reading it for the second time!
Tragedy happens again and again and never stops.
In a person's life, there are always moments like this, when you see the moonlight in your pocket like water, and your heart is as bright as a mirror in an instant.
After two years, I revisited this book. The writing style is still the same, the artistic conception is still the same, gentle and delicate.
Simple, easy to understand, real, intuitive and immersive
Seemingly ordinary words tell history... Using multiple examples, it shows that King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes just to get a smile from him. The author is a favorite historical figure. Some things will not be recorded in history books. When I read this book, For some words, I always feel that the author must be expressing his feelings! Bao Si and King You of Zhou spent eight years together... The author likes this praise, but she (he) still writes it truthfully, without any conjecture, so it is authentic! After reading this book, I also feel that Bao Si and King You of Zhou...
Where is beauty not alluring?
The author's writing style is delicate, like a cup of tea, with a faint fragrance. Use soft and unique writing style to express those beautiful poems and touching stories. Like this style very much.
I'm here, go out to the tent and let go of my worries.
Maybe it's because the heart that has suffered so much chaos has finally encountered tolerant and sincere treatment, and no longer has to wander.
