    Reader note

    This is not a popular work that caters to fast-food reading. If you prefer "water literature" that is only superficial, I am afraid you will be disappointed. But please believe that as long as you have the patience to read the first 20 chapters, if you still feel that it is the same as before, you can criticize and correct it bluntly in the book review area. Taking the book as an appointment, I am waiting for your judgment. The story will take you to a corner of the suburbs of Beijing, following the footsteps of "Uncle Gu" and opening the wooden door of the "Gu Yige" hexagram hall. Although the three large cinnabar characters on the faded signboard are mottled, they were inscribed by my master fifty years ago and bear the weight of time. The peach trees and locust trees in front of the door grow alternately, which seems to violate the ancient saying that "peaches and locust trees should not be planted together", but in fact there is a hidden mystery waiting for readers to uncover its deeper meaning. In this pyrotechnic Gua Guan, two special "buddies" add a different kind of interest to the story. Ah Cai, a civet cat with red background and black spots, always likes to curl up lazily on the altar table, and rolls around like a baby when meeting people, showing off his cuteness; while Ah Dai, who was adopted five years ago, although he looks simple and honest, has shown amazing talent in studying the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes. He only needs to listen twice to memorize the obscure principles of the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and the five elements from Uncle Gu's mouth. The most subtle thing about this book is that it cleverly integrates the wisdom passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years into each gripping story. Whether it is the profound medical science and pharmacology or the mysterious numerology and feng shui, every piece of Chinese traditional knowledge in the book is well-documented and is by no means fabricated out of thin air. There is no blunt preaching, only fascinating plots, allowing you to quietly appreciate the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture while immersing yourself in reading.
