The book carefully collects the original text, annotations, extended links and other columns, and records the comments on Nalan Ci by famous writers in the past.

In the sky, Mercury has a mountain named after her, which is the honor of poets all over the world. On the earth, this talented poet spent her romantic and ups and downs life. Her life is a mixture of joy and sorrow. She gained everything in the first half of her life and lost everything in the second half of her life. She was born into a well-known scholarly family, and she showed amazing literary talent when she was young. She picked up "Like a Dream" at her fingertips, "fighting for the crossing, startling a beach of gulls and herons", which made many famous people praise her wildly. The three words "Li Qingzhao" have since become synonymous with talented women in the world. At the age of eighteen, she married the young talent Zhao Mingcheng. This perfectly matched couple lived in harmony and lived a poetic life of indulgence in poetry and painting. However, with the sudden invasion of Jin soldiers and the Song family's journey south, Li Qingzhao and his wife also fell into a life of escape. They could not help themselves in troubled times and Mingcheng died on the way. From then on, her life was in trouble, displaced, experienced ups and downs, and wandered for half her life. "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red, and thin?" Writing poems and lyrics became her only soul comfort. Her poems are full of sweetness, true feelings, beauty, and sadness; they have the power to travel through time and are proof of immortality. This book is based on the engraved version of Shu Yu Ci written by Wang Pengyun Siyinzhai in the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It is revised and revised with reference to the Yuefu Ya Ci and the unengraved version of Shu Yu Ci by Jiguge.

Dreams are a beacon that leads mankind in the direction of pursuing civilization; dreams are a torch that illuminates the faltering steps of history. Throughout the history of human civilization, people's dream of pursuing a happy and beautiful life has never ceased, but they are often submerged in the struggle between the family and their own selfish interests, sometimes disappearing and appearing. On a stage dominated by heroes, the dreams of ordinary people become eternal footnotes.

"Shu Yu Ci" is a love work written by Li Qingzhao, the "most talented woman of all time", and a representative work of the graceful Ci school in the Song Dynasty. It is named after the Shu Yu Spring in front of Li Qingzhao's former residence in Jinan. When the poet was young, he and his close friend Zhao Mingcheng were separated several times, and he felt a lot of lovesickness and melancholy. Later, he experienced the separation between husband and wife and the turmoil of the current situation, which made him even more lonely and desolate. He found his own way in writing lyrics, using his beautiful talents and thoughts to express elegant language and wonderful interpretation of music. Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty commented: "Li Yian is also known as the best lyricist in the Song Dynasty."

"Yangchun Collection", as a collection of Feng Yansi's poems, shows the poet's inner world. It not only reveals the delicate emotions of sadness for the spring and autumn, lovesickness and hatred, such as "tears asking the flowers but not saying a word", but also often expresses the lament that life is short and time passes like "people are not as romantic as the moon, but they remain forever". Therefore, I advise you to cherish your youth and live up to your life. "Yangchun Collection" has extremely high artistic value and has a profound influence on later generations of poets. Chen Tingzhuo, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty, commented: "Zhengzhong Ci is the best in the Five Dynasties. It has entered Fei Qing's room at a high level, but it is not followed by others. It may be out of date."

The Sui Dynasty, which began in 581 AD and ended in 618 AD, was an important transitional period in Chinese history that succeeded the Southern and Northern Dynasties and ushered in the Tang Dynasty. In the history of poetry, the poetry of the Sui Dynasty is also a link between the past and the future. It not only carries the legacy of the poetry of the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, but also heralds the rise of Tang poetry. Shen Deqian's original intention in compiling "Origins of Ancient Poetry" was precisely to trace back to the "source" of Tang poetry - he believed that Tang poetry did not come out of thin air, but had its own long development path. Therefore, Sui poetry, as the eve of Tang poetry, occupies a key position in the original version of "The Source of Ancient Poetry". Xue Daoheng, Yang Guang, Wang Zhou and Yu Shiji are important representatives in Sui poetry.

The creation of poetry flourished in the two Song Dynasties. There are many anthologies of Song poetry in the past dynasties. The "Three Hundred Song Poems" compiled by Mr. Zhu Cun (Shangcun Village) in the late Qing Dynasty has become one of the classics due to its large quantity, wide range, and incisiveness. This book is the annotation of "Three Hundred Song Poems" by Mr. Tang Guizhang, a master of modern poetry. The annotations in the book are detailed, solid and clear; the commentaries are a collection of past ci reviews, comprehensive and extensive; it also includes biographies and relevant reviews of each ci writer. These contents not only allow readers to understand and appreciate Song Ci, but also appreciate Mr. Tang Guizhang's unique insights into Song Ci and feel the cultural style of this master of Ci.

"Nalan Ci" is a collection of Nalan Xingde's poems. The themes involve love, family affection, friendship, miscellaneous feelings, etc., And the scenery of Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall, ancient and modern times, are all included. The style of his poems is elegant, graceful, graceful and charming, which is quite reminiscent of the late masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It has a very special status and influence in the history of Chinese literature. This book carefully collects the ancient manuscripts of Nalan Xingde's "Nalan Ci", combines the original text, word translation, comments and appreciation, annotations and doubts, supplemented by sincere original paintings, and uses pictures to explain the text. It is beautiful and true, and offers readers the beauty and charm of Chinese classical poetry written by a talented man of the previous generation.

This book contains nearly a hundred poetry works by Li Qingzhao. Each work is divided into several sections: original texts, annotations, translations, and comments. Some rare words are also phoneticized to facilitate readers to read them easily. In addition, the five articles collected in the appendix at the back of the book, including "On Ci" and "Da Ma Fu", also fully reflect her artistic achievements of "the most popular poems in the south of the Yangtze River and the best literary works in the north".

Extreme wisdom will be hurt, and a word of truth cannot satisfy Nalan's thoughts; deep love will not last long, and a lifetime of character will be incomplete, just like talent. "If life were just like the first time we met, why would the autumn wind be so sad as to draw a fan?" - Nalan Xingde's words are clear, graceful and unique. The handed down "Nalan Ci" enjoyed a high reputation in society at that time and was highly praised by literati. People at the time said, "Every family is competing to sing "Drinking Water Ci". How many people know about Nalan's thoughts?" This shows the great influence of his Ci. Wang Guowei commented on him in "Human Words": "He sees things with natural eyes and expresses emotions with natural tongue, so he can really do this. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, there is only one person."

"Zhuyu Ci" is the handed down poetry work of Yan Shu, the "first ancestor of the Yisheng family in the Northern Song Dynasty". His poetry inherited the "beautiful" style of Feng Yanji's poetry in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also created the graceful style of poetry in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Guowei said in "The Words of the World": "Those who have achieved great things and learned great things in ancient and modern times must pass through three realms." Yan Shu's "Last night the west wind withered the green trees, I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world" is the first realm, and "These words are not something that a great poet can't say."

Tang poetry is a monument in the history of Chinese classical poetry, attracting generations of readers for thousands of years.

It is a popular book suitable for the general public.

Shen Deqian built a poetry pedigree with "character as the foundation and poetry as the teaching" by selecting and commenting on the poetry of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty. From a contemporary perspective, Song poetry is not only the source of Tang poetry, but also an important source of natural aesthetics and social criticism of Chinese poetry, and its aesthetic influence is far-reaching. "Tang poems are implicit, while Song poems are explicit; implicit means the rhyme is beyond the meaning, and revealing means the meaning is in the words." Shen believes that compared with later Tang poetry, Song poetry is more straightforward in emotional expression and emphasizes "the meaning is in the words." The appreciation is beyond words.

"Ci poetry takes realm as the top priority. If it has realm, it will have its own high style and its own famous sentences." By the Song Dynasty, Ci poetry had both verve and charm, and famous writers emerged in large numbers, so various anthologies emerged in endlessly. "Three Hundred Song Ci Poems" was compiled by Shangqiang villagers and was first published in the Jiazi Year of the Republic of China (1924). It was originally an elementary school reading book for my nephews to find and recite verses. It also included famous poems from various schools. It included 88 poets and 300 poems in total. It is the most widely circulated and most representative anthology of Song Ci poems. This edition of "Three Hundred Poems of the Song Dynasty" was compiled by Qiang Villager as a base, with detailed annotations and detailed appreciation. It also includes comments from famous writers such as Chen Tingzhuo and Tang Guizhang to enhance readers' aesthetic interest in reading.

The first collection of prose by Lu Xun Literature Prize winner Zhao Yu. Zhao Yuxiang shocked the literary world with his documentary masterpieces. In fact, his prose is equally profound, unique and interesting. Faced with the weakness and paleness of current prose, Zhao Yu's narrative has a modern atmosphere and an ancient northern style. It is written based on events and feelings. It is a piece of sunken brick made by compacting the soil and firing it. We can appreciate the spontaneity and sincerity of the writer's soul.

"Starry Night" includes Lu Yin's representative prose, among which the prose "Memories under the Moon" and "Under the Leifeng Pagoda" "seem to be better than her novels", and "The Thorn of the Rose" is also "clear and lovely" (Mao Dun said).

"How I Cut Leeks" introduces the life experience of Charles Ponzi in the form of an autobiography, turning the entire scam into a story, allowing readers to understand the financial world more clearly. The whole book adopts a first-person narrative method, leaving readers with a space to self-analyze and judge the rights and wrongs of the story. It does not indirectly guide the reader's thinking, which increases the authenticity of the story. "How I Cut Leeks" warns readers not to underestimate the desire and greed in their hearts, adjust their mentality in investment, and suppress the depraved "devil" in their hearts. When you realize certain problems, let them go in time. Preserving yourself is far more important than gaining a huge fortune.

If you can't forget, you are alive - even if you are no longer in the real world, you will always live. What is recorded in this book are the people and things that cannot be forgotten.

Things in the world are unpredictable and changeful, and there are many things that we are powerless to do. However, it is always good to have a good heart and pursue a good life attitude. When your heart is good, you don't have to worry about how to make a living. As long as you know what you desire and whether you dare to pursue your dreams. You need to know whether you can withstand loneliness and whether you truly love being alone when you are empty. When dealing with people in the world, do good things whenever you think about them, and good things will never be far away from you. I hope you can find beauty in the ordinary details of every day and see the meaning of your life. May you move upward, toward goodness, toward beauty. The good things in the world can really be obtained by those who believe.

Three women have completely different but equally bumpy experiences in Japan. Some of them gradually became stronger and finally became independent; some were disheartened and became nuns; some had no regrets and smiled at life. Three Chinese women came to Japan for different purposes; three Chinese women had completely different experiences in Japan; three Chinese women experienced the warmth and warmth of the world in Japan; three Chinese women reopened their lives for the future.

On March 20, 1995, the subway sarin incident occurred in Japan that shocked the world. After the incident, Haruki Murakami personally spent a year interviewing people who had witnessed the incident, conducted audio-recorded interviews, and added necessary text processing to compile and compile this book "Underground". This is a documentary literary work by Haruki Murakami tracking the subway sand forest incident. The description is realistic. It is also Haruki Murakami's first non-fiction work, which is of great significance. "Underground" is Haruki Murakami's transformational work, his first full-length documentary work, and a profound reflection on Japan's "responsibility-avoiding closed society." "Underground 2" is Haruki Murakami's second documentary work after "Underground". Most of the space is the shady story of the cult dictated by former cult members. It is as detailed, realistic and shocking as "Underground". In search of healing, why did they create "Subway Sarin", an indiscriminate killing without redemption? Why do they find it difficult to live a normal life in this world? Where is the dream country they pursue? Thorough interviews with Aum believers and unguarded conversations with Mr. Hayao Kawai reveal the dark side of the heart enveloped by modern society.

This classic non-fiction work by the master of oral history Craig Taylor took 5 years and more than 200 interviews to tell the tragic and joyful stories told by 85 ordinary Londoners. "Londoners are the ordinary people you see." Like us, they are looking for and losing in the big city, praying and confused in the big city, gaining rewards in the big city, and being hurt by the big city. Writer Craig Taylor spent 5 years, day and night, traveling to every corner of London, selecting 85 ordinary people from more than 200 interviews. Among them, there are currency traders who have realized their professional ideals, lost and found office staff who are accustomed to all kinds of things in the world, plumbers who have been actors, as well as sanitation workers, taxi drivers, emergency paramedics, real estate agents, chefs, pilots, etc. These true stories of ordinary people, a mixture of sorrow and joy, constitute the ukiyo-e of all living beings in the city of London. Every word touches our hearts and resonates with us. "When a person is tired of London, he must be tired of life." However, only those who have lived in a big city will understand the complexity of it: love it, hate it, long for it, be tired of it, escape from it, or stay and continue living.

The picture of the end of the century written by a famous chronicler, a Japan Press Association Award-winning work, was rated as one of the "100 Non-fiction Books to Understand Modern Times" by Iwanami Shoten. It is a representative non-fiction series that influenced post-war Japan and has been best-selling in Japan for many years. "Wives' Love" not only describes the family life of couples and corporate social issues, but also introduces the psychoanalysis of psychological counselors to analyze the causes of marital crises of several interviewees from the perspective of their original families, including the psychological roots of problems such as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, parent-child relationship, etc. It is sharp and interesting. "The Well-Fed Poor" is a masterpiece by the famous Japanese journalist Shigeo Saito. It is considered a classic work describing social problems in Japan's bubble economy era. With the rapid development of the economy, Japan has finally emerged from the post-war famine era when it was struggling to survive. However, the improvement of living standards has not reduced people's anxiety and insecurity. It has only changed from "poverty in poverty" to "poverty in prosperity." In this new era where people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, people who are still trapped in the extreme state of poverty, busyness and debt are called "the underfed poor". They are not only "corporate warriors" supporting Japan's economic development, but they are also victims of this brutally competitive society.

Since viruses can mutate, so can we. The upgraded version of "Blood Epidemic" directly attacks the global public health crisis in the 21st century! _X000b_WHO believes that the 2014 Ebola epidemic showed that "the world is not prepared to deal with a severe influenza pandemic and global public health emergency." The Ebola epidemic is more like part of a pattern, a shockwave caused by a new virus jumping out of an ecosystem. The virus multiplied itself in the population, devoured lives, encountered resistance from the human species, and eventually died out. But what will be the next shock wave? The past is slowly turning into the future, and now I am going to predict a global outbreak caused by an emerging virus at biosafety level 4, which is airborne and spreads from person to person. There is no vaccine, and it is incurable with modern medicine. In the technical terms, this is a level 4 event. A recent study completed by the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health found that all U. S. Hospitals combined have only 142 red zone beds that can treat patients infected with hemorrhagic fever viruses such as Ebola, and fewer than 400 red zone beds that can treat patients infected with high-risk airborne viruses. Therefore, if a level 4 event breaks out, there will only be 542 red zone beds in the entire United States. We must ask the question: If a new Level 4 virus spread to millions of people in North America or any continent, would hospitals be able to handle and care for that many patients? If the number of infected exceeds one million, will epidemiologists be able to track and break the chain of infection?

"The Chinese and the Japanese in the Eyes of Americans" is what the famous American philosopher John Dewey saw and heard when he traveled to Japan and China. It records China and Japan in 1919 and can be called a witness to the times a hundred years ago. John Dewey recorded the folk customs of China and Japan in detail in the last century, including some interesting historical details, such as the sense of responsibility of Chinese students to "take the world as their own responsibility", prosperous Shanghai, prosperous Hangzhou, Japanese bowing, prices and food, the people's awe of the emperor when the emperor traveled, Uji's tea, etc. These records are considered valuable first-hand historical materials today. In "The Chinese and the Japanese in American Eyes", John Dewey believed that Japan's background is still ancient, but new buds have grown inside, like trees in spring, trying to exude a breath of new life. Dewey was deeply shocked by the endless power and strong sense of responsibility of Chinese people, the climate and landscape that were completely different from New York, and the unparalleled philosophy of life.

On October 7, 1967, Che Guevara wrote in his diary: "Today is the eleventh month anniversary of the establishment of the guerrilla armed forces. The morning was relaxed and leisurely, just like enjoying pastoral life, without any trouble." He did not know that this would be his last diary entry. During the battle in the Yuro Valley the next day, Che was wounded and captured, falling into the hands of Bolivian government forces. He was executed without trial the next day, and his body was hidden by the authorities. The diary was found in his backpack. "Bolivia Diary" is the most original and important material that witnesses the last stage of Che Guevara's life. After being translated quickly and without modification, it has been widely circulated around the world. It meticulously reproduces the thrilling guerrilla warfare experience in the mountains of Bolivia, from entering Bolivia in secret disguise, to surveying the terrain, developing underground workers, as well as fierce battles in dense forests, valleys, and river mouths, encounters with enemies, and sacrifices of teammates... It can be called a guerrilla warfare textbook. It also includes more than 30 rare photos that have never been published publicly in China, showing the daily life and battle scenes of the guerrillas. Here readers can see Guevara's disguised fake passport, guerrillas watching on the treetops, Guevara organizing his rifles by the river, etc. The film "Che Guevara: Part Two" directed by Spielberg is based on the history described in "Bolivia Diary". Deltero, who played Guevara in the film, won the Best Actor at Cannes for this film.

In the era of transformation, how to turn around? Hou Hongbin broke through the maze of public opinion and awakened the troubled people. Will we just inherit poverty? Who did Phoenix Man offend? The nationwide push to get married is to "maintain stability"... Clarify the core of social hot spots and expose the double standards, paradoxes and brainwashing routines of public opinion. Without hating the diversity of lifestyles and refusing to expand the possibilities of life, a society can dilute our modern anxiety precisely because it has a variety of possibilities.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, in order to study Germany under Hitler's rule, young Timothy Garden Ash stayed in East and West Berlin for several years to collect information. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts in East Germany were considered espionage activities, and he was tracked by the secret police and informants, leaving behind a 325-page secret file. After the reunification of the two Germanys, East Germany's secret police files were opened. The author revisited East Germany.

"The Mind-Reading Detective - FBI Psychological Profiling" is a memoir by a former FBI agent. This book introduces the author's experience of growing up from an FBI rookie to a generation of detectives. The book not only reviews the author's FBI work experience, but also introduces in detail the numerous famous major cases in American history that he has handled. Many complicated and confusing tragedies, once in the hands of the author, become as if they have scientific attributes. What kind of effect comes from what kind of cause. Through accurate psychological analysis, observation and induction of the crime scene and the modus operandi, the author can quickly and accurately outline the basic characteristics of the criminal. The author can accurately predict the suspect's race (black, white), age, education level, physical defects (such as stuttering, physical disabilities), family situation, the suspect's special hobbies (for example, he likes to drive a car similar to a police car), and the motive for committing a crime. Once the suspect's information is outlined, the author and the police immediately set a trap to trap the criminal, thereby catching the cunning and brutal serial killer. All of this, under the influence of the magic wand of mind-reading, went smoothly.
