The reason why many people like Beijing and try their best to take root in Beijing is not only because Beijing has the busiest streets, the most luxurious shopping malls, and the most fashionable brands in the country, but also mainly because, in their hearts, Beijing is a city with stories, a book that makes people feel inadequate, and a cultural treasure house carrying legends - from the eight dynasties of Yan, Qian Yan, Dayan, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The successive establishment of the capital has made her a rich history; the bustling and lively places such as Shichahai, Dashilan, Wangfujing, and Bawang Tomb have made her a livable and playable place; the legend of the Summer Palace, the anecdotes of the Lama Temple, the mystery of the Ming Tombs, and the good fortune in the eight major places have made her colorful... Beijing has too splendid civilization, too glorious history, too complicated past events, and too rich connotations, waiting for people to discover, appreciate, and savor.

This book is like a kind old Beijinger, telling us many interesting legends and stories. As can be seen from the title of the book, it is full of strong charm of the ancient capital. The legends in the book not only let us understand the history and culture of Beijing, but also made us full of curiosity and yearning for this city. Just like the legend of "Eight-Armed Nezha City", it is really creative to combine ancient mythology with urban planning! It reminds me of the book "Miscellaneous Notes on Beijing", which also tells the story of old Beijing. The two can set off each other and give us a more comprehensive understanding of Beijing's past.
