"Night Sailing" is not only an encyclopedia, but also the world in the eyes of the author Zhang Dai. Night sailing is a symbol of the long and arduous journey in the ancient southern water towns. People have to take a boat when going out. During the slow sailing, if they are bored, they will entertain themselves by chatting about everything. "Night Sailing" is not an enigmatic ancient book, but a piece of cultural common sense narrated in relatively simple classical Chinese. Most of these entries are content that people should be familiar with, including twenty chapters such as astronomy, geography, characters, archeology, and ethics. "A Complete Guide to Night Sailing Ships" carefully annotates and translates its contents, making it easier for readers to read during their busy schedules.
Reader comments
The setting of the night boat is very graphic and reminds me of some stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The chats of the ancients during the long journey are also so interesting! Moreover, the annotations and translations of this book are very careful, and it is not difficult to read at all. I think it is very suitable for busy people like me. You can gain a lot of knowledge by flipping through it! 📖

Fortunately, the translation is inaccurate in some places.
