This book is a collection of "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes", "Youmengying" and "Six Notes of a Floating Life". "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" is Yu Huai's most widely circulated and influential work. It describes the famous prostitutes along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing in the late Ming Dynasty and related experiences, expressing the sorrow of Shuili and the longing for the motherland. "Youmengying" uses the writing method of sketches to express the author's unique personal opinions, which is a brand-new style. Each article contains a philosophy and is endlessly memorable to read. "Six Notes of a Floating Life" is an autobiographical prose, with six original notes: "Records of Joy in the Boudoir", "Records of Leisure Interests", "Records of Sorrows in Ups and Downs", "Records of Wandering Travels", "Records of Zhongshan Calendar" and "Records of Health Care". The first four records are preserved today. The author uses simple writing to describe his joy and sorrow, life and death, and the painful experience of separation for most of his life. It is a rare work in the history of ancient Chinese literature that records the family life between husband and wife, with sincere and touching emotions.
