Reader comments
This book "Taihua Xiyi Zhi" records the deeds of Mr. Xiyi. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, has the ambition to help the world, is proficient in Yili, and can predict good and bad luck. This reminds me of those people in life who pursue fame and fortune and are sycophants, which is in sharp contrast to Mr. Xiyi. The author Zhang Xia was also depressed because of being ashamed of competing. Through this book, he expressed his admiration for Mr. Xiyi and also hoped to inspire new scholars. This book made me deeply understand that one must have integrity and not lose oneself for the sake of profit.
