Definition of book title:
• Three trees: A direct reference to the lacquer tree, mulberry tree, and tea tree. They are not only the material basis of the story (lacquer shop, silk factory, tea house), but also symbols of Chinese civilization and national spirit.
• Spring and Autumn: A pun.
◦ Refers to the era: the era that the novel spans (from the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and even beyond) is the "Spring and Autumn" era when China experienced tremendous changes, suffering and resistance.
◦ Refers to history: Just like the history book "Spring and Autumn", it means that this novel will record the rise and fall of a family and a nation in a specific historical period, as well as love and hatred.
