Influenced by Yu Qiuyu's historical and cultural prose, Chinese prose began to turn its attention to "history", and then discovered the connotation of culture from the "depths of history", which became the collective consciousness and unconsciousness of essayists. From one aspect, this is valuable; but from another aspect, it also brings about a problem, that is, the writer's ignorance, blindness or even numbness towards the times. In other words, history has become a great magnet that attracts essayists, thus leading to the writer's "absence" and "indifference" to the current era. In recent years, especially in 2009, Chinese prose has gradually become alienated from "history" and turned its attention to reality, which has become particularly penetrating to the times.

"Prose poetry" is a hybrid and fusion of "prose" and "poetry". It absorbs not only the reality, truth, nature and simplicity of "prose", but also the illusion, poetry, leap and purity of "poetry", thus forming a literary form that is both down-to-earth and poetic and romantic. From the perspective of life and life, "prose" is more about hard work on the creeping earth, while "poetry" is more inclined to float and dance in the air. This book selects more than 100 outstanding Chinese prose poems from the past century, accompanied by precise and beautiful appreciation texts.
