Neighbors are like a mirror, reflecting an unfamiliar self. Japan's well-known historical classic takes you into Japan beyond the "Chrysanthemum" and "Sword". This is a unique treatise on Japan, as well as a historical summary of interesting anecdotes and strange stories about Japan and China throughout the ages. Chen Shun-chen, a Chinese-Japanese writer, wandered between two hometowns and two cultures throughout his life. His status as a marginalized person allowed him to accept the shackles of fate. It also allowed him to use his unique life experience and vivid "compound eyes" perspective to see the differences and overlaps in the historical traditions of the two countries, and thus wrote essays on Chinese and Japanese culture that are full of witty words and full of humor. He returned from the distant ancient times to the cultural junction between China and Japan in the modern era, wandering freely between history and reality; with a "suicide note" mood, he wanted to write down the reasons that hindered mutual understanding between China and Japan. Getting to know your neighbors again is also a way of looking at yourself in detail. We are neighbors - we complement each other, it's destiny.

Shen Deqian selected Northern Qi poetry in order to present the diversity and regional differences in the development of poetry during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He believes that although the poetry of the Northern Dynasties is not as delicate and refined as the poetry of the Southern Dynasty, it has its own unique simple style, which is indispensable for tracing the origin of poetry and understanding the evolution of poetry style. At the same time, he may also intend to show how poets in the Northern Dynasties carried out literary creation in a relatively harsh environment. The poems of Wen Zisheng, Xu Ling, Lu Sidao and Yang Min are all collected in high quality. They were the most important poets at that time and you can focus on reading them. Northern Zhou poetry is actually an independent volume, and Shen Deqian's starting point for selecting and editing it is also to present the overall picture of poetry in the Southern and Northern Dynasties more completely. Wang Bao and Qu Zizhi are important representatives.
