Some are rough, some are beautiful, some are heroic, and some are tender. Beijing has a "mellow atmosphere", Shanghai is "open and elegant", Guangzhou is "vibrant and lively", Xiamen is "beautiful and warm", Chengdu is "laid back and free", and Wuhan is "so refreshing and tough". Just like people like to criticize people, people also like to talk about cities. "Chinese Men and Women" Starting from the two gender roles, we first analyze the typical characters in literary works, then proceed to the real social manifestations of the two, and further examine the social and historical evolution of the relationship between the two. In an empirical spirit, this investigation does not stop at the moral fringes of a specific historical period, but presents a complete picture of gender relations, and its content is helpful for people to seek the historical origins of their own gender roles. "The Wisdom of the Chinese" This book uses easy-to-understand language to explain the revelation of Zhouyi, the principle of Doctrine, the thinking of military strategists, Laozi's methods, the demeanor of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the realm of Zen. It basically contains the essence of the original Chinese classics. After reading this book, I have just skimmed through the essence of Chinese wisdom.
