The Book of Mountains and Rivers
by Yu Qiuyu
About This Novel
This book is a newly revised edition of "Notes on Mountain Dwelling". Many of Professor Yu Qiuyu's classic articles are included in this book. The core chapter of this book, "My Cultural Mountains and Rivers", provides a macro overview of the spatial significance of China's mountains and rivers, which is extremely shocking to read. After the core chapter, there are the footprints of Professor Yu Qiuyu's more than 20 years of inspection of the Chinese cultural scene. Professor Yu Qiuyu often said: "The road is the book, and there are no books outside the road." In this book, Professor Yu believes that Chinese culture has the three largest lines between heaven and earth, which can also be said to be the basic latitude and longitude of Chinese culture. In order of importance, the first line is the Yellow River; the second line is the Yangtze River; and the third line is more complicated. To the north of the first two is the dividing line of 400 millimeters of rainfall, which is the line between heaven and earth that distinguishes agricultural civilization from nomadic civilization. His cultural investigation was mainly a long journey on these three lines between heaven and earth.
