This book is a collection of essays on the theme of tea and beauty by the famous Japanese aesthetic master Soetsu Yanagi. Collects Liu Zongetsu's articles on tea ceremony, tea utensils, aesthetics, etc. In the book, Yanagi Zongetsu conducted a unique and profound discussion on the theme of what is beauty and what is the tea ceremony, and discussed beauty from multiple perspectives. Liu Zongyue believes that to deeply understand the heart and essence of beauty of tea, one must touch and observe it at close range, and observe the beauty through famous tea ceremony utensils. He believes that only by looking at tea ceremony and tea utensils with a free vision that is not bound by fixed ideas can tea enter a freer world. In the article, he also advocated the common principles of Japanese beauty, commented on tea drinkers of the past and present, and put forward pertinent and serious requirements for modern tea drinkers. A true tea person should encourage himself as a creator. As far as vision is concerned, boundless freedom is the most important thing. What most tea drinkers lack today is this kind of freedom, tea state, and a deep connection with the virtue of simplicity, but not with arrogance. The tea ceremony is also a lesson in poverty. --Liu Zongyue.

In the middle of the night on the first day of his stay, the painter was awakened by a burst of singing. He stood up and looked around, and saw a woman vaguely appearing in the attic outside the house like a phantom, and then disappeared again. The next day, he got up early and took a bath, wondering whether what he saw and heard last night was a dream, but he saw the "phantom" walking towards him serving tea. It turns out that this graceful "phantom" is the daughter of the master of this family. She appears in front of the artist's eyes like a fairy in the painting, showing a hazy and mysterious beauty. Afterwards, the painter went to a nearby barbershop for a shave. The owner of the barbershop said that the hot spring master's daughter, a girl named Namei, was divorced and had a "crazy" temper, and asked him not to get too close. A young monk who came to the barber shop to have his head shaved retorted that Namei was a very wise adult. The beauty that everyone talks about, the beauty that seems absurd and simple in conversation, has become an otherworldly and "inhuman" existence in the artist's heart. The artist feels that every move she makes is like the person in the painting, and imagines that if he develops feelings for her, can this feeling be called "inhuman"?
In order to escape from the worries of the world, a painter left the city in early spring and went into the mountains, where he stayed temporarily in a hot spring house called Nagujing. In the middle of the night on the first day of his stay, the painter was awakened by a burst of singing.

洪业:清朝开国史
(u. S.) Wei Feide
Professor Wei Feide's historical masterpiece "Hong Ye: The Founding of the Qing Dynasty" tells the story of a very dramatic historical stage in the history of Chinese dynasties - the end of the Ming Dynasty in 1644 and the consolidation of the Qing Dynasty in the following 20 years. From the grand background of politics, economy, culture, society, nation, and national defense, the author provides an overall dissection and perspective on the process of how one empire fell into trouble and how another empire reestablished order and became strong. In this book, Wei Feide hopes to present the "Hongye" through the reconstruction of the Chinese imperial order in the early Qing Dynasty to reveal a series of important changes that had occurred in Chinese society before the arrival of Western forces in the Opium War in 1840.

New Translation and Interpretation of "faust
General Fiction《浮士德》新译新解
F
This book is a new translation and new interpretation based on a review of various Chinese translations of "Faust" over the past century (nine from mainland China and one from Taiwan). It draws lessons from, corrects errors and fills in omissions in translations such as Guo Moruo's and Lu Yuan's. It is an interpretation of the whole book and the plot of the whole play. In his 180,000 words of 60 explanations and 626 annotations, the translator quoted for the first time nearly 70 interpretations of "Faust" by Marx, Engels, and Hegel. From this, we can know why "Faust" is an "absolute philosophical tragedy" and why it is dialectical. Why the image textbook is the "precursor to a free and human worldview" in the future, we can know the affinity between Marxist philosophy and Goethe's thought - this affinity may be the collective complex of my country's modern intellectuals who have a special liking for "Faust".

General Fiction大唐狄公探案全译:铜钟奇案
(netherlands) Golope
This book is one of the "Comprehensive Translation of Detective Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty: Gao Luopei's Embroidered Portrait Edition". Judge Dee, who always upheld the law, actually accepted bribes and even used the bribes to ask the magistrate of a neighboring county to find prostitutes for him and buy them back as concubines! This is incredible. The power of Buddhism is at its peak, influencing government affairs, but Judge Dee investigates the monks of the Buddhist temple with lightning speed. Is this a wise move? Can he escape safely? Why did the victim come to Puyang to redress the murder that took place in Guangzhou more than 20 years ago? A group of people went to the abandoned road to investigate and found a dead skeleton under the huge copper bell. The case seems to have taken a turn for the better, and he doesn't want to be trapped in the bell by the murderer. The air is getting thinner. How can Judge Dee escape from danger? In The Strange Case of the Bronze Bell, there is still a case within the case, and the concept is exquisite. Although it is Gao Luopei's early detective novel, it can be said to be the best among his detective novels, fully reflecting Gao Luopei's profound interpretation of Chinese culture.

瓦尔登湖动植物图鉴:动物篇+植物篇(2册)
(u. S.) Henry David Thoreau
"Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna of Walden" is a natural history classic written for everyone by Thoreau, a representative figure in American literary circles in the mid-19th century. If "Thoreau's Diary" is the "Bible" for nature lovers, then "Walden's Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna" is the much-anticipated essence. The book uses 600 diary entries to introduce 500 species of wild plants and 400 species of wild animals, and also inserts 200 exquisite illustrations drawn by the National Book Award-winning illustrators Barry Moser and Debbie Cotter Caspari. For many years, Thoreau gave himself the task of roaming the woodlands, meadows, and wetlands of his native Concord area, observing the plants, animals, weather, and his neighbors, and then recording his observations in his "Thoreau's Journal." This record is not only a running account of natural history, but also an in-depth exploration of the spiritual significance of animals and plants to Thoreau. The "Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna of Walden" unearths the treasure of "Thoreau's Diary", collects its philosophical thoughts about plants and interesting things about animals, and presents a panoramic picture of the natural world around the writer Thoreau.

"Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" includes five parts: "Luanyang Xiaoxialu", "This is What I Hear", "Huaixi Magazine", "Guwan Listens to It" and "Luanyang Continued Records". The style is quiet and elegant, simple and concise. Whether it is writing about people or narratives, there is not much ink, but a rough outline, to the point, but it is very organized and expressive. His disciple Sheng Shiyan also summarized this: "The narrative is cut and cut, running through the reflection belt, like the clouds and water, and it is completely different from the secret of heaven." As Lu Xun said, "The legislation is very strict, and when it comes to its essence, it is about advocating quality and following the Jin and Song Dynasties."
