# Introduction to "The Story of Youth"
Pick up anecdotes from the corners of Qing history, and see people's hearts in the depths of writing.
This book is based on the notebook novels of the past dynasties, and selects more than a hundred short and concise ancient anecdotes - including the elegant interests of literati and the unique skills of strange people, as well as supernatural rumors in the countryside and lively and interesting talks in the market. From the dietary oddities of court officials to the life and death romances of ordinary people; from the legends of souls in ancient temples and shrines to the moral integrity of knights and knights, each story is rewritten with lightweight classical writing, cutting out the complex and simplifying it while retaining the original flavor of the ancient charm. The short length is suitable for fragmented reading, and the fireworks and imagination of the ancients are hidden between the words.
It does not indulge in serious historical theory, nor is it trapped in obscure classical Chinese. It only uses the attitude of "casual talk" to narrate the stories of characters lost in time. Opening the pages of the book is like holding a candle and talking at night, encountering strange people and events from thousands of years ago between the lines, and touching the warmth and interest of history during relaxed reading.
