This collection of essays is a selection of carefully translated articles from "The Complete Essays of Montaigne", most of which deal with important issues that trouble life.

This book selects 36 polemical essays from Friedrich Nietzsche's many important works. The book opens with three classic articles by Nietzsche discussing educational issues: "On the Future of Our Educational Institutions", "Humanistic Education Begins with Strict Language Training" and "Three Measures of University Education". The rest of the book contains 33 exquisite expositions selected from important works such as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Twilight of the Idols" and "Look, This Man". In the process of criticizing Christianity, Nietzsche focused on criticizing "pity". Nietzsche believes that great acts of kindness will not make people grateful, but will lead to revenge; if this small favor has not been forgotten, it will become a worm that is always gnawing; loving one's neighbor is a pathological good and the morality of the weak; the kindness of the strong should inspire people's unique personality of self-respect and self-improvement, and promote "healthy selfishness" in people. And "healthy selfishness" is the clean selfishness that overflows from the powerful soul. It takes all things into itself and then makes them ebb from the individual soul as a gift of love. Therefore, Nietzsche advocates that human beings should love distant people, love people in the future, love the beginning, and love ghosts.

Lao She's Anti-Japanese War drama is a high degree of unity of the times, people's nature and artistic experimentation. Lao She transformed from an elite writer who returned from overseas to an artist serving the times and the people. The Anti-Japanese War was an important opportunity of the times. Although Lao She had some discomfort when he turned to the creation of Anti-Japanese War dramas for propaganda purposes, Lao She was fundamentally a national writer who "put the country first", so he could always breathe and share the fate of the people. Lao She's people-oriented stance earned him the title of "People's Artist" after liberation, and also made him inevitably ahead of the main trends of the times and politics. It was not natural for Lao She to be at the forefront of the times. It was due to his constant pursuit and pain. Lao She's anti-war dramas have always been looking for a balance between politics, propaganda and art. Lao She's Anti-Japanese War dramas were full of experimentation. He integrated traditional folk art and Western stage art in his Anti-Japanese War dramas. His bold attempt was an innovation and breakthrough in drama creation, which also left valuable experience for Chinese drama art creation.

"The rise and fall of learning depends on the importance of the times." Scholars engaged in classical literature all attach great importance to the "technical" aspect, including editions, catalogs, and collations. This is the academic orthodoxy of the ancients. Documents are the basis of all discipline research. Deeper research also lies in the ideological and methodological level of documents, that is, the "Tao" level. There is an intricate relationship between the two. In the face of traditional literature, on the one hand, it is necessary to clarify the evolution of academic traditions, and it is necessary to distinguish academic chapters and examine their origins; on the other hand, it is necessary to study classics from a modern disciplinary perspective. When talking about learning, one should have the state of "I am willing to study in books and grow old, and I will not hesitate to turn myself into a silverfish". "The only difficulty in the world is reading." Although it is "building a house under the house and putting a bed on the bed", the line of academic inheritance can also be seen. This book takes lecture notes as the main body, interspersed with ideological essays "shadowed by the shadows in the book," in order to show a new horizon of literature research.

Zhang Zhidong was not only a famous minister and capable official in the modern political arena, but also a leader in the poetry circle of the late Qing Dynasty and a backbone in the academic and ideological circles. Whether he is writing poems or essays, discussing knowledge or doing things, Zhang Zhidong always aims at being fair, accessible, elegant and solemn. Therefore, the "advocating elegance and uprightness" he emphasizes in poetry is based on his upright temperament and self-cultivation. Zhang Zhidong's contribution to poetry lies in his ability to reconcile the Tang and Song Dynasties in the late Qing Dynasty when the poetry style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, advocating "Song style and Tang style" and striving for "moderateness" and elegance. The "Qingqie" theory advocated by him has considerable poetic value, but it also has cognitive limitations. Zhang Zhidong held a high position and was able to break down the barriers between families, tolerate a variety of poetic styles, and his poetic thoughts were rich in unique style. This objectively promoted the exchange of poetry at that time and influenced the atmosphere of the poetry world at that time. This book studies the reform political figure Zhang Zhidong and his poetic contribution from the perspectives of literature and poets.
