About This Novel

"Pillow" was written around 1001 and was the first of Japanese essay literature. The book has a total of 305 paragraphs, divided into three major contents: clustering, diary and random thoughts. The clustering is influenced by Li Yishan's "Za Tu" of the Tang Dynasty, which lists things of different natures and categories in life, such as "mountains", "sea", "disappointing things", "elegant things", involving geographical features, vegetation, flowers and birds, inner emotions, life interests, etc., Which very richly reflects the author's delicate observation and aesthetic taste of Qing Shao Nayan. The diary records the author's life in the palace, which reflects her deep relationship with Empress Fujiwara Teiko, as well as fragments of her life in the palace. This part of the content reflects the classical style, and allows us to understand the living conditions and tastes of the royal family and nobles in Japan's Heian period. Random thoughts are random thoughts about nature and life, especially the author's bright and free attitude towards life.
