The Moon, the Moon, and Sixpence 月亮，月亮，六便士
A classical Chinese version of The Moon and Sixpence. In the firmament of literature, The Moon and Sixpence has always been a solitary star edged with thorns, both searing and captivating. Its importance lies not in the intricacy of its plot, but in the way it cuts through the ambiguous veil between convention and idealism like a sharp scalpel, forcing every soul adrift in life to face an eternal question: when the petty concerns of sixpence fill our days, is the moon's clear radiance still wort

Homeric Mythology: The Iliad 荷马神话之伊利亚特
This is the third volume in a series that renders classic Western works in classical Chinese. Western poetry should not be translated in poetic form. Once rendered in Chinese, it cannot capture the rhythmic beauty of Chinese poetry, and to Chinese readers it feels awkward and out of place, as though something is just not quite right.

Nietzsche Disagrees 尼采不答应
Perhaps this is one of the most readable Chinese translations of Nietzsche. It is certainly the first full-length translation of Nietzsche's work into classical Chinese. This book is a new translation of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None, rendered in classical Chinese. I have done my best to give it the spirit of Zhuangzi. This is the second Western classic I have rendered into classical Chinese. It is a book for the future. Whether anyone likes it is not important. W

The Odyssey of Homeric Mythology 荷马神话之奥德赛
How much more abundant plain prose is! It lacks the beauty of elegant classical language. Whenever I read histories written in classical Chinese, my mind reaches one climax after another. Some say that classical Chinese cannot express subtle feelings, so plain prose is better for translation. Isn't that utter nonsense? For nearly fifty years, classical Chinese has all but disappeared. If things continue this way, with no fresh water flowing in, the language will die out. I am no great talent, bu
