This book provides a "sketch" for readers to appreciate the truth of culture, the goodness of literature, and the beauty of art. The author compares reading to a journey to a mountain of books. Sometimes he plays the role of a geologist, exploring the rich minerals in the mountain of books; sometimes he imagines himself to be a practitioner, pursuing the path of humanities without any distractions.

As a collection of book reviews on culture, literature and art, this book is divided into four volumes: Chinese cultural observation, Western cultural overview, contemporary literature, and Chinese and Western art. The author first discusses the form of traditional Chinese culture and its spiritual core of self-improvement. Secondly, he points out the various crises hidden behind the power of Western culture. He once again outlines the various realistic ecology of the contemporary literary world and the literary corners that are easily overlooked. Finally, he analyzes the aesthetic differences between Chinese and Western painting art, as well as the little-known ideological game behind Hollywood movies. In the book review of more than 200,000 words, the author sometimes analyzed rationally, sometimes expressed passionately, and conducted a unique "discussion on the mountain of books". In the author's opinion, culture, literature and art are connected by flesh and blood and spirit. Looking at art without culture, or talking about literature without culture, is one-sided and incomplete.
