This book is a new collection of essays by Dao Erden. This book tells the author's views on tourism and tourism-related photography, accommodation, food, etc. From an alternative perspective. He sees what no one has seen before and inspires readers. There are a lot of aphorisms in the book, such as: "Every tree has a time when its leaves fall off, but as long as it still exists as a tree, the definition of a tree is still flowing in its veins." "Fear is modifying our curiosity and modifying our degree of satisfaction. This fear does not come from strange things that we may encounter, but from things that we already own, are familiar with, and are in order." And so on.

Dao Erden looks at history upside down and talks about the ancients in a tricky way; he combines the "literary" of Li Ling and the "martial arts" of Wang Xiaobo. This book is a collection of historical and cultural essays by Dao Erden. It uses an alternative perspective and sharp writing to rewrite various characters and anecdotes in history. Dao Erden's writing style is calm and measured, not extravagant, and only stops when it is good. It is often mistaken for profoundness. In fact, what he pursues is either profound or cunning. "From the perspective of ordinary people, during the Shunkang period, except for the many braids on the head, life was not much different from before. Customs remained the same, human relations remained the same, and tofu still tasted the same as before." "The rich man sent his son to study and become an official. A fat and white boy went out and came back and became a Confucian scholar." "There are ghosts at home and gods on the mountain, and you can't afford to offend anyone. So you go to the temple to burn incense, go to the temple to ask for fortune-telling, and there are hundreds of miscellaneous gods. You have to kowtow. This is because the meniscus of the ancients was easily injured."
