Back in 1933, in the Berkeley Hills of California, there was a private laboratory filled with rare objects - beakers, microscopes, Bunsen burners and hundreds of books... The owner of the laboratory was Edward Oscar Heinrich, the pioneer of forensic science in the United States. Heinrich was America's first expert witness and solved at least 2,000 cases during his 40-year career. He is good at finding clues, establishing evidence, and deducing the correct answer with a seemingly super-powerful thinking technique. He also pioneered many forensic identification methods that are still in use today, such as blood stain analysis, ballistic analysis, latent fingerprint extraction and analysis, etc., Permanently changing the way criminal investigations are conducted, and is known as the "American Sherlock Holmes".

In the eyes of literati in the past, it has always been regarded as a textbook of literature and a must-read book for scholars. It has been circulated for more than a thousand years. Fu and poems account for the largest proportion in this book. According to content, Fu is divided into 15 categories such as Kyoto, Suburban Sacrifice, and Farming Books, and poetry is divided into 23 categories such as Compensating for Death, Describing Virtue, and Encouragement. This classification reflects Xiao Tong's theoretical views on the development of ancient literature, especially the classification and origin of genres, and reflects that stylistic analysis has entered a very detailed stage at that time.

"Yan Danzi" is one of the early miscellaneous novels, with the theme of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty. It has important value in the history of novels. Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty called it "the ancestor of miscellaneous biographies of ancient and modern novels." In the early stages of the history of Chinese novels, the appearance of "Yan Danzi" is amazing. Its long structure and mature stylistic features pose a challenge to the current concept of novel history. Its literary achievements help us to correctly understand the occurrence of Chinese novels and the national character of the novel's stylistic features. This book combines text research with history, literature, and textual research, and conducts a comprehensive and systematic study of key issues related to the research field of "Yan Danzi".

"Talk about Wind and Rain" includes Zhou Zuoren's works from November 1935 to May 1936. This book covers a wide range of fields, and the author has put a lot of energy into it. Although the articles written are all short, they are very systematic. In the book, the author first examines ancient Chinese writings in an ideological sense, and embodies his literary concepts in them. He sees many disadvantages and also finds some advantages in the ancient works. His stance is scientific spirit and humanism, and modern civilization. The criteria for selection are the "disease of vanity" and "emphasis on emotion and reason" that he has always emphasized. I hope readers can see the author's efforts and attitude.

Therefore, he has special sympathy for women's unfortunate experiences, whether it is experience or psychology.

"Ye Du Chao" contains nearly 50 essays by Zhou Zuoren, which can be regarded as works of cultural criticism. Among Zhou Zuoren's many works, "Ye Du Chao" has a particularly important position, because from the beginning of "Ye Du Chao", Zhou Zuoren established his own mature and stereotyped style.

"Yaotang Quotations" contains 50 essays written by Zhou Zuoren around 1940. It is a new attempt in his prose writing style. It is short in length and is close to "notes written by predecessors". Zhou Zuoren said: "Originally, according to the old rules of Confucianism and Buddhism, quotations are the daily words and deeds of the master recorded by his disciples. Wang Zhongyan of Yangzi wrote the book himself, which is very criticized by future generations. Why should we learn it again? This so-called quotation is actually just a name with the same name, and there is no similarity in content. This is what we should do It needs to be explained. "As for the name of the Herbal Medicine Hall, it is meaningless, but it can be said that there is some reason why there is no other name here. Even if it is meaningful, it is fair to say that the articles are not meant to be critical, but the books mentioned in them are all ancient Chinese books, especially there are many notes. These articles all reveal the author's comments and sorting out of ideological and cultural aspects, from which we can see some flashes of the author's thoughts, which should be read frequently and always new.

Zhou Zuoren said in the preface: This book contains four parts, namely, 1, "Memories of Old Books" with 28 chapters, 2, "Reminiscences of Old Books" with 44 chapters, 3 with "Reading Books and Occasion Notes" with 61 chapters, 4, "Reading Books and Remaining Notes" with 58 chapters, for a total of 191 chapters. "A Corner of the Study" contains nearly 200 reading notes by Zhou Zuoren. The content is short and flexible, some even less than ten lines, and involves many ancient books. It reflects Zhou Zuoren's thinking and analysis of traditional Chinese culture to a large extent. It also introduces the customs and characters of his hometown of Shaoxing. From it, we can feel Zhou Zuoren's longing for his hometown. It is also an excellent custom chronicle. He integrates modern thoughts into the comments on ancient books, which makes it very enjoyable to read and different from other casual readings.

Zhou Zuoren printed his miscellaneous notes on "Baicao Garden" into a single volume, and selected several relevant articles from other essays and compiled them into the second part, called "The Inside and Outside of the Garden". He also added the two parts "Lu Xun in Tokyo" and "Old Stories of Bu Shu Bookstore" as appendices. There are more than a hundred articles in this volume, almost 100,000 words, and it took four to five months to write. It describes Lu Xun's life and study in his youth and also reveals the customs of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

"Preface and Postscript to Kuyuzhai" is Zhou Zuoren's summary and reflection on his own ideological context and writing process. Zhou Zuoren said: "There are seventy-five chapters in the whole manuscript, and fifty-three of them are selected here and divided into two parts. The first part is self-inscribed, and thirty-six chapters are all preserved. The second part contains seventeen chapters, all of which are prefaces and postscripts written by others. They are mostly related to folklore and literature. There may be many layman's words in them. Although the selection is intended to be careful, it is still inevitable. Readers will forgive me."

"Yao Tang Zawen" contains a total of twenty-seven articles, including fifteen articles written in the 29th year of the Republic of China, and twelve articles written later by the author. It was originally named "Yilaoxuan Notes" and was later renamed "Yao Tang Zawen". The content is all-encompassing. It is Zhou Zuoren's combing of his own thoughts when he was stranded in the enemy-occupied area at that time, including the traditional future of Chinese literature, women's studies, enlightenment, morality, Chinese thoughts, as well as memories of studying abroad and feelings about old friends.

"Bitter Mouth and Sweet Mouth" contains a total of 21 articles written by Zhou Zuoren from September 1943 to August 1944. The style basically continues from "Yaotang Essays" and is the author's combing of his own thoughts. The book includes "serious articles" about literature and thought, as well as nostalgic reminiscences. Especially in "My Miscellaneous Studies", he comprehensively reviews his interest in reading, his understanding of arts such as painting and drama, his study of Chinese and foreign languages ​​such as Chinese, Japanese, and Greek, and his involvement in various disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, and medicine.

"Bingzhu Tan" collects Zhou Zuoren's works from November 1936 to April 1937. The materials are drawn from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, and are all based on the author's own special knowledge, interests and discoveries. Discovery is due to knowledge, and interest is due to discovery, and both discovery and knowledge are included in interest. Because it is an interesting article and written in a casual style, it is heavy in weight and profound in intention, which is very representative of Zhou Zuoren's characteristics. His fresh and elegant, homely vernacular is full of profound Chinese, Eastern, Western classical and modern cultural literacy. Whether in terms of artistry or ideological aspects, it ranks among Zhou Zuoren's best works.

"Talking about the Dragon" contains several essays by Zhou Zuoren, the contents of which are "slightly related to literature and art", including literary criticism, commemorations of writers, Chinese and foreign folk songs, Japanese ancient history and short poems, Greek myths and short poems, obscene ballads, translation issues, etc. It is also the main work of Zhou Zuoren as a literary theorist. Since then, his essay writing has been more closely related to "Tan Long Ji" in terms of his points of interest and approach.

"Talks after Holding a Candle" mainly collects Zhou Zuoren's works from April to October 1937. The content is divided into two categories: one expresses interest, which can be described as truly leisurely, such as "Talking about Persuading Drinking"; the other is false, such as "Talking about Leprosy". In the article, Zhou Zuoren criticized the darkest phenomenon in Chinese and Western cultures, pointing out that the essence of ideological autocracy lies in the fact that people generally lose their ability to think and judge, and consciously converge towards autocracy itself - that is, "killing people with their thoughts." "If the crime of killing people with thoughts is deviant and treacherous, it is not holy. Most people feel that they are all opposed, and they are willing to get what they want. Not only the tyrant wants to kill, but the mob also agrees." And "the feelings of ordinary scholars on this matter" are no different from that of the "mob", forming an authoritarian situation in which everyone is consistent, and individuals as thinkers can only be killed. Zhou has always maintained a clear understanding of traditional Chinese culture, carefully discerning it, and not letting go of the bad side. His previous works, "Yedu Chao·Eunuch" and "Kan Yunji·On Eight-legged Essay", are all masterpieces, and he pays special attention to the criticism of ideological tyranny, which is the key point.

"Art and Life" is a collection of Zhou Zuoren's essays from 1917 to 1926. There are 20 articles in total. The articles are relatively long and have a more serious attitude. Since Zhou Zuoren's opinions on literature, art and life are mostly here, it is titled "Art and Life". Zhou Zuoren is one of the representatives of the May Fourth New Literature Movement, and "Art and Life" mainly reflects his appearance as a thinker and literary theorist during that period.

"History of European Literature" is a compilation of the lecture notes given by Zhou Zuoren, who was employed as a professor of liberal arts at Peking University in 1917 and taught the "History of European Literature" course in the first-year Chinese Studies course. Narrating the development history of European literature from ancient Greece to the 18th century, it is an important achievement of Zhou Zuoren and his brother Lu Xun's "search for new voices in foreign countries" after they jointly translated "Collection of Foreign Novels". It is also China's first relatively systematic history of European literature. Zhou Zuoren's advocacy of "human literature" and ideological revolution during the May Fourth Movement can all be traced back to this, and he made great contributions to the New Culture Movement.

"Lu Xun's Youth" is a collection of commemorative texts written by Zhou Zuoren at the invitation of newspapers and magazines on the 20th anniversary of Lu Xun's death. In addition to the "Lu Xun's Hometown" and "Characters in Lu Xun's Novels" he has written, some new content has also been added.

"Bitter Bamboo Miscellaneous Notes" contains 51 articles by Zhou Zuoren, most of which are essays and "copied books". They are his later articles, and his compassion is concise and distant. Among them, "talking about ghosts" is one of Zhou Zuoren's favorite topics. From this, the author feels the life situation and survival desire of ordinary people, and feels the most sad and pitiable. It looks like talking about ghosts, but it is actually a heart-to-heart talk. It not only pursues true knowledge, but also does not forget human feelings. Among Zhou Zuoren's articles, this type of emotion is the most profound.

Zhou Zuoren appreciated the state of "being happy after enduring things", which is like drinking bitter tea. It is painful but refreshing, but it is the pitiful point of adults. You all know the taste of it. "Tolerance is a word, the door to all the wonderful things. When you are an official, especially when you are doing things first, if you can be more tolerant in addition to being honest and diligent, there is nothing you can do. "Book" says, there must be tolerance to be helpful. This is the root of things. The proverb says, "Tolerance is the enemy of disaster." Shaoling poem says, "Tolerance is a joy."

"Past Work" contains 15 articles written by Zhou Zuoren before and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War (April to December 1945), including "About Bamboo Branch Ci", "Stone Road", "Dongchangfang Story", etc. The articles continue the style since the 1940s, describing scenes, objects, commentaries, and eloquent stories: one type still talks "casually", and the other type continues to explore thoughts "seriously". For example, "Mortal Beliefs", "Past Work" and "Two Ghosts' Articles" trace their origins, are convincing, and play an important role in Zhou Zuoren's writing thoughts; "Past Work" remembers three old friends, Chen Duxiu, Qian Xuantong, and Liu Bannong, by excerpting and annotating their writings, and recounts their past interactions and situations.

Children's studies and children's literature were of great concern to Zhou Zuoren, who called him "a special literary activity". There are a total of eleven articles collected here. The first four articles were all written in the 23rd year of the Republic of China and were written in classical Chinese. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, the Confucius School in Beijing asked Zhou Zuoren to give a lecture, which was the fifth article "Children's Literature." The remaining six articles were all written in 1123. From then on, more and more people paid attention to children's literature, and people who specialized in it gradually appeared. To study and discuss children's literature, one must have considerable accomplishments in anthropology, folklore, and childhood studies. Zhou Zuoren said: "Although these articles are superficial, they look at the meaning of myths based on the theories of the anthropology school and the application of fairy tales based on child psychology. This direction is always good and is not useless in the current world of children's literature."

This book does not have long essays or a large number of quotations from ancient texts. The articles are concise and clear, sometimes mixed with humorous remarks. It is a representative work of Zhou Zuoren's later prose.
