I Wish I Could Be Called Traveler: Haiku by Matsuo Basho 300

Haiku is an extremely important literary genre with Japanese characteristics, and Matsuo Basho is known as the "Saint Haiku". He is the first master of classical haiku and the haiku artist who pushed the art of haiku to its highest peak. Basho is to haiku what Du Fu is to Tang poetry. Basho's haiku not only inherits the classical tradition of Chinese poetry and Japanese waka, but also does not shy away from mixing in daily colloquialisms. It captures the essence of comedy and is full of the spirit of free creation. Basho is good at capturing the absolute loneliness in daily life and the colors of sound and fragrance in quiet moments, such as the fragrance of leaves when they are heated by sunlight in the morning and dusk, or the faint sound of cold water when a frog leaps into an ancient pond. The poet uses this to show a passionate glimpse of nature in the eternal flow of time. The spirit of mourning for things in later Japanese literature and the spiritual sensitivity to all things in nature were mostly influenced by it. In his writing, the harmony of elegance and vulgarity in haiku has reached an unprecedented height. This book selects more than 300 haiku sentences that Basho wrote throughout his life, arranges them chronologically, and includes the original text, pronunciation and brief notes to aid appreciation.

"Water Margin" is my country's first novel describing a peasant uprising. The whole book uses the theme of "officials forcing the people to rebel" as a clue, describing the story of a group of "heroes" who could not bear the oppression of tyranny and rose up. The novel tells the whole process of Juyi Shuibo Liangshan, acceptance of recruitment and final failure. The ideological highlight of "Water Margin" is that it fully affirms the rebellious peasants who were regarded as "thieves and bandits" by feudal rulers, and praises the spirit of all strata who dare to resist corrupt bureaucrats, safeguard their own interests, and not bow to the powerful. The novel also profoundly reveals the social roots of the peasant uprising. It tells readers that the reason why the peasants revolted was because the people, ranging from the emperor and fatuous ministers like Gao Qiu to the overbearing officials, large and small, had made their lives miserable.
