Walden Pond: the Most Spiritual Place in the World
by I
About This Novel
"Walden" begins in spring, goes through summer, autumn and winter, and ends in spring. This is exactly the cycle of life. In that wooden house, among the lakes and mountains, he observed, listened, felt, meditated, and dreamed. Through his own life experiments, he told the world not to lose the direction and meaning of life due to the complexity of life. He believes that only by living a simple life can people abandon their inner anxieties and enjoy inner peace, relaxation and joy. It must be mentioned that despite the lack of cultural exchanges between China and the West at that time, Thoreau translated and read many Confucian works and integrated his understanding of Confucianism into his own thoughts. Therefore, his works also exude the unique temperament of Chinese classical literature.

We work hard just to earn a living. Even though I still didn't understand what he was talking about after reading a tenth of it, I felt that after reading a few pages like this every day, my anxiety instantly became calmer. Maybe it was a psychological effect! I had read an excerpt of it before, but at that time he described Walden Pond as beautiful, and I didn't understand his philosophical thoughts. Then I started to read the full version again, but my English skills in the original book are limited, not to mention that the book is difficult to understand, so I chose this one. Reading the previous part made me take life seriously, not the trivial matters in life, because this is life. It is an important part of life. I have now begun to stop being impetuous and love eating and communicating with people in life. If time permits, I will try to slow down the pace as much as possible, so that I can taste life better. In fact, the original purpose of reading this book is to gain inner peace like a lake. In the future, I hope that I can understand the author's true inner portrayal.
