Since ancient times, everyone has longed for a leisurely and elegant life: watching snow, admiring flowers, drinking tea... But few people truly understand the essence of "life aesthetics". The true meaning of the beauty of life lies in careful experience, careful observation, thinking and innovation, and uncompromising quality, rather than just sensual enjoyment.
"Occasional Letters of Leisure" is just such a wonderful book about the art of life. It can think about the little things in life that ordinary people disdain, and express the opinions that ordinary people want to say but cannot. From song and song creation, drama performances, voice and appearance to all aspects of literary and artistic life such as utensils and antiques, architecture, planting, diet and health care, every word is a summary of Li Yu's lifelong efforts. Li Yu, courtesy name Lihong and nickname Liweng, was a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang. A famous dramatist and writer in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, he is known as the "ancestor of Chinese drama theory". His representative works include: the opera "Ten Songs of Li Weng", the novels "Rou Fu Tuan", "Liancheng Bi", "Twelve Floors", "He Jin Huiwen Biography", and the anthology "The Story of Li Weng's Family", etc.
