Writing articles is a lifelong skill! Feeling the various shortcomings of Chinese language teaching and examination-oriented writing, writer Zhang Dachun continued "Knowing a Few Words" to talk about the art of writing. This book uses more than 70 articles to interpret the art of writing. It not only discusses his views on article writing and current Chinese education, analyzes various bad speaking habits that ordinary people are accustomed to without noticing, but also demonstrates various writing techniques. At the same time, one article each of ancient and modern famous writers such as Su Xun, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu, and Mao Jian is quoted to further elaborate on the wit and beautiful language of the articles.

Zhang Dachun, who considers himself to have no prose writing experience, accepted a column invitation from Reader's Digest six years ago because he was willing to learn from the column "Correction of Words" hosted by his predecessor, Mr. Liang Shiqiu, in the magazine. By re-identifying words, he could write stories about the origins of words, and at the same time contribute to the decline of Chinese character culture in this era. Seeing the word is like seeing an old friend coming. The forty-six essays and explanations of Chinese characters included in this book, each one has a "victory first episode", which talks about the scenery and encounters of the writer's encounter with characters in his life. The following article is an explanation and even extension of the shape, sound, meaning and phrases of Chinese characters: if a person is open-minded and not afraid of "fat" and "drunk", the universe is vast, and the long journey of the word "brigade"... ... Words and words, tempered by time, are no longer just textual elements in a collection of classics and history, but also constitute the vivid life experience of a generation; writers often return to the context in which they first learned or used these words, and reveal, explore, and remember those words that are integrated with the facts of life and may disappear with the wind. For anyone, life only goes through once; but words can bring it back countless times - as long as you are willing to read it.

Young Master Chun Deng's banquet for celebrities is an annual event. This event has been going on for many years, and it is almost the same as an ordinary annual ceremony. However, the origin of the person hosting the banquet is a mystery, and the location of the banquet is just like a peach blossom garden. It can no longer be found in the real space and in the memories of the previous participants. The only surviving evidence is the twenty "titles" of poems and lyrics that have been circulated. These titles are said to have come from the climax of the Spring Lantern Banquet: the speaker was secretly selected from among the guests at the banquet and spent a year pondering the story in order to stun the listeners and make the prince admire the story.
