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.

After reading this book, you will find that the forgotten traditional reading methods such as "phonic reading", "primary reading" and "classical reading" are exactly the golden keys to help you open the door to beta-type reading.

In his previous work "Euthanasia Scene", Miyashita Yoichi introduced people's attitudes towards euthanasia and the current status of related laws and regulations around the world, especially in Western countries where euthanasia is highly accepted. This time, "Japanese Choosing Euthanasia" turns its attention back to Japan, focusing on this Eastern country where euthanasia has not yet been legalized. Westerners pay attention to personal will, while Easterners pay attention to the concept of family, so euthanasia is more acceptable in the West - this is the view of Miyashita Yoichi in the previous work, but is the reality really so absolute? After the publication of the previous work, it aroused heated discussions in Japan. Many readers' letters received by Miyashita suggested that the Japanese people's outlook on life today is different from that in the past, and they hope that Miyashita, who has been living overseas all year round, can re-examine it.

After in-depth contact with more Japanese people who support euthanasia, Miyashita gained a new understanding of the relationship between family values ​​and personal will.

In the book "Tutankhamun's Horn", British Egypt archaeologist Toby Wilkinson uses a unique perspective and entry point to look at the tomb and unearthed objects. He did not focus on the familiar process of discovering the tomb, nor did he dwell too much on the short life of the young pharaoh and the political disintegration of Egypt during his reign. Instead, he introduced the dazzling ancient Egyptian culture and its far-reaching influence in detail through the pharaoh's funerary objects. From more than 5,000 funerary objects, he selected 100 artifacts and divided them into 10 groups. According to 10 themes, he comprehensively introduced all aspects of social life such as the natural environment, religious beliefs, royal politics, trade networks, science and technology, and daily life of ancient Egyptian civilization. A gold-decorated chariot shows the advanced technology of Egypt at that time. Bread, fruit baskets and wine jars reflect the fertility of the Nile Valley and the abundance of feasts enjoyed by the local people. Jewelry made from Nubian ebony and Libyan desert glass also illustrate Egypt's active trade and vast diplomatic network. Shaving utensils and chessboards reveal another aspect of people's daily life...

Fortunately, through these funerary objects, we can still awaken the world of Tutankhamun and the ancient Egyptian civilization that he represented as a symbol.

Margaret Atwood, the author of "The Handmaid's Tale" is a representative work, and Ferrante, the author of "My Brilliant Girlfriend", recommends a must-read list for women. "The Blind Assassin" is Atwood's novel published in 2000. It was also her first work to win the Booker Prize. She had been shortlisted three times before and finally won the award for this book. The novel is grand in length, ingenious in conception, and skillful in writing techniques. It is a landmark work in which Atwood's personal creation has entered a mature stage. The novel tells the story of the different encounters of two women in the Chase family. Through layers of nested narratives, in the interweaving of fiction and reality, it gradually reveals the truth that has been obscured by memories. It also reveals the complex inner world of women in modern society and their very different moods when facing the male-dominated external world. At the same time, the writer uses these cyclical narrative voices to skillfully switch between a variety of seemingly disparate literary styles, boldly expanding the narrative mode of the novel, and constantly breaking through the boundaries of imagination. The novel's psychological and emotional descriptions of the characters are detailed and in-depth, and its narrative language is full of poetry and beauty. It is ultimately presented as a rare masterpiece.
