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.

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.

Sea travelers left their homes and crossed the ice ocean. To commemorate this feat, King Evert took the keel from the bottom of the ship, extracted its essence with secret techniques, and forged it into a sharp sword, named Menaia - "Memory"; in order to avenge blood, Prince Inanagi of Heather took the iron from the witchwood and forged the cursed weapon. The murder of a relative was against the will of the people, and he later called the Jin Jin Zun "sad"; Emperor Naban unexpectedly obtained the lava from outside the sky, so he used it to make a sharp blade made of metal from the sky. It also suggested that the holy god Usus was whipped and tortured, so it was named "Thorn"; whether mankind can survive and whether the world can return to the right path, the three swords will eventually appear. Once upon a time, the ancient race "The Births of Huating" broke up at the Farewell Stone and were divided into "Heather" and "Northern Ghost".

New Translation and Interpretation of "faust

F

315K03

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".
