Literature西湖梦寻注评
(ming Dynasty) Written By Zhang Dai And Commented By Lin Bangjun
"Dream of the West Lake" records historical anecdotes of Hangzhou and depicts the customs of the West Lake. It is one of the representative works of Zhang Dai, a master of sketches in the late Ming Dynasty. The author of this book has made relatively detailed annotations on the original text of Zhang Dai's "Dream of the West Lake", and added both solemn and humorous "comments" after each chapter, either to supplement relevant information or to analyze the purpose of the text. It is quite innovative and highly readable. It is an ideal book for reading Zhang Dai's essays and understanding his aesthetic thoughts.
