A vast ocean of books is sweeping across the planet. However, we clearly see an unavoidable fact, that is: everyone's life span is limited, and it is simply impossible for us to read all books. So we have to start with the classics. Reading the classics will save our lives from waste and damage.
It's very interesting. The trivial things in the world are so diverse and enjoyable.
The style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be most easily understood from this book. The articles are short but meaningful and interesting. There are so many historical figures in the article that it is difficult to remember clearly by reading history books, but after reading this book, many figures in the Wei and Jin Dynasties have the same image as ink paintings.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the two Jin Dynasties reflected in the book were extremely special eras in Chinese history. Mr. Zong Baihua called it "the most chaotic era politically and painfully socially in China, but it was also an era of extreme freedom, liberation, wisdom, and enthusiasm in spiritual history."
Bacon said: "Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for enrichment, and enough for talent." The influence of classics is immeasurable, and a good book can benefit a person for life. Read more, read good books, and read well. Discover the beautiful and free world in the book!
