It is difficult to write Chinese characters, especially when using a knife to carve oracle bones or lacquer to write on bamboo slips. It is impossible to use a computer like today, and a large version can be written in a few minutes. Therefore, ancient prose is the most concise and contains less nonsense. This is a specialty of our ancestors and should not be thrown away easily. Zhong Shuhe copied several short articles over the years. The short standard is that they should not exceed one hundred Chinese characters, and they must be independent articles. Now I will select some of them and explain them slightly for the benefit of readers. To borrow a sentence from Zheng Banqiao: "There are some benefits, let's take a look; if there are no benefits, it's just a window covering and a wall covering."

This book is a collection of short stories written by Chung Shu Ho. It selects the essence of more than 200 short stories from "Nian Lou Xu", which is very literary. Each article consists of three parts: learning from the short, reading from the building, and reading from the building. "Learning from the short" is an ancient text of no more than 100 words, "reading from the building" is the author's unique interpretation of the translation, and "saying from the building" is a commentary on the content of the ancient text. The selected classical Chinese essays are of various types, innovative, short and concise, thoughtful and content, with a light and gentle writing style. The translation part is smooth, smooth and natural, not artificial or stiff, has flexible syntax and is not stereotyped, and can all be written independently. The review part is humorous and sophisticated, with profound charm, leisurely writing, self-sufficient, and yet to the point.

"Take Off in the Twilight" is a collection of essays personally edited by Zhong Shuhe. It includes more than one hundred essays from thirteen personal collections, including "Before and After the Book", "Nian Lou Collection" and "Occasional Collection", including "Zeng Guofan's Teaching Sons", "Iron Abacus and Others", "Geographer's Observation", "Sai Jinhua in Berlin", "Yellow Duck Crying", "Book Sellers and Readers", etc., Which is a panoramic display of the essence of his creation. Mr. Zhong Shuhe is a famous essayist and editor. His essays cover history, culture and many other aspects. Erudite, rigorous, profound and humorous, showing the scholar's mind and vision. As Zhong Shuhe himself said, "We must deeply understand yesterday and face today with a clear head."
