Nice! No wonder it is Li Jieren's masterpiece. It describes the customs and customs of Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty. It contains many Sichuan dialects and is very down-to-earth. The characters are written with distinct personalities, the things are described delicately and vividly, the psychological activities are clearly depicted, and the scenery is described picturesquely. Worth reading. Highly recommended!
