Shen Deqian's selection and evaluation of the "Wei Poems" constructs a framework of Cao Wei poetry that is "based on style and teaching of poetry." He affirmed the artistic value of Wei poetry's "quality but not slang, straightness but not wildness" and incorporated it into the Confucian ethical framework. These standards deeply influenced the development of poetics in the Qing Dynasty. From a contemporary perspective, Wei poetry is not only the source of Tang poetry, but also an important source of "realism" and "humanistic spirit" in Chinese poetry. Its value goes beyond Shen Deqian's own comments and is an important hub for understanding the tradition of Chinese poetry. In a word, Wei poetry has completed the transformation of five-character poetry from narrative to lyrical poetry, and has an important status.

Captain Ahab is obsessed with hunting down Moby Dick, the white whale who bit off one of his legs. His paranoia is not only the epitome of human desire for conquest, but also a crazy allegory of industrial civilization's declaration of war on nature. From the ports of New England to the vast Pacific Ocean, the whaling ship "Pecod" has become a floating laboratory of civilization: the crew members with different skin colors, beliefs, and traumas collided in the closed cabin with the undercurrent of colonization, belief, and class. Whale oil, as the "black gold" of the industrial age, quietly connected human greed with ecological catastrophe. With a prophetic touch, Melville shaped the white whale into multiple metaphors - it is the divine incarnation of nature, the abyss projection of unknown destiny, and the ultimate mirror image of human arrogance. When Ahab and the white whale died together, this tragedy was not only the decline of individual destiny, but also foreshadowed the eternal dilemma of the relationship between modern civilization and nature.

However, what is more terrifying than the harsh natural environment is the human factor: the prevalence of bureaucracy, which destroys human dignity and kindness. Chekhov's records present these bloody facts to every reader, but the value of "Sakhalin's Travels" does not lie in its truth, but in the "human conscience" that shines between the lines. The ultimate purpose of Chekhov's writing is not to criticize and expose, but to protect everyone and fight against "violence and hypocrisy."

This book is a collection of essays on the theme of tea and beauty by the famous Japanese aesthetic master Soetsu Yanagi. Collects Liu Zongetsu's articles on tea ceremony, tea utensils, aesthetics, etc. In the book, Yanagi Zongetsu conducted a unique and profound discussion on the theme of what is beauty and what is the tea ceremony, and discussed beauty from multiple perspectives. Liu Zongyue believes that to deeply understand the heart and essence of beauty of tea, one must touch and observe it at close range, and observe the beauty through famous tea ceremony utensils. He believes that only by looking at tea ceremony and tea utensils with a free vision that is not bound by fixed ideas can tea enter a freer world. In the article, he also advocated the common principles of Japanese beauty, commented on tea drinkers of the past and present, and put forward pertinent and serious requirements for modern tea drinkers. A true tea person should encourage himself as a creator. As far as vision is concerned, boundless freedom is the most important thing. What most tea drinkers lack today is this kind of freedom, tea state, and a deep connection with the virtue of simplicity, but not with arrogance. The tea ceremony is also a lesson in poverty. --Liu Zongyue.

"Pillow" is a collection of essays by Japanese female writer Seishonagon during the Heian period. The content is mainly her observations and random thoughts about daily life. The material range is very wide, including the four seasons, natural scenes, vegetation and some trivial things around her. It also describes the festivals she saw in the palace, the love between men and women she saw, as well as her feelings about life, personal taste, etc. "Pillow" is composed of a few fragmentary words, the writing style is simple and sharp, and the text is light and interesting. Sentences such as "which is better" are often used to explain one's preferences. Sometimes the author will explain this, and sometimes it will simply list a list of things. The Japanese literary circle praises this book as a model of Japanese classical essay literature, and often compares this book with Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji". The two books are considered as the two greatest literary works of the Heian period, and the two authors are regarded as two great talents in the history of literature. The translator of this book, Chen Dewen, has been engaged in Japanese literary translation for more than 40 years. For this publication in our company, the translator specifically searched for the version that represents the latest results of Japanese research on "Pillow Grass" as a base, made a new translation, and reflected the latest research results through annotations. To this end, the translator has carefully crafted the translation, which is the latest version among the current Chinese versions, both in terms of text and annotations.
