Later, Cao took him to Hong Kong and published several articles in magazines. Later, it was collected and printed into a volume, namely "Past Work".

"Selected Works of Zhaoming", also known as "Selected Works", is an earlier collection of poems and essays in China. It contains more than 700 poems and essays by more than 130 authors from the Zhou Dynasty to the Six Dynasties before Liang Dynasty. It was compiled and selected by Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. The content of this book can be roughly divided into three major categories: Fu, poetry, and essays, which are further divided into 38 subcategories. His rigorous selection of materials and attention to vocabulary have made a clear distinction between literature and history in China since the pre-Qin Dynasty. "Selected Works of Zhaoming" carefully selects materials and pays attention to vocabulary, and most of the selected works are elegant. 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. Due to the advantages of "Selected Works" itself, its influence is far deeper and wider than other collections of poems of the same type. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry was used to select scholars, and the literature of the Tang Dynasty had a close inheritance relationship with the literature of the Six Dynasties. Therefore, "Selected Works" became the most appropriate model for people to learn poetry and poetry, even alongside the classics and biographies.

"My Own Garden" was originally compiled in 1923 and contains 18 chapters of "My Own Garden", 15 chapters of "Oasis", and 20 essays. Later, it was re-edited, retaining the two parts "My Own Garden" and "Oasis", completely removing the essays, and adding 23 "Tea Talks" for a total of fifty-six articles, still collectively called "My Own Garden". "My Own Garden" established Zhou Zuoren's position in the history of Chinese literary criticism and established the cornerstone of China's new literary criticism.

"Collected Works of Zhitang" is Zhou Zuoren's most satisfying work. It contains 45 articles, including essays, sketches, essays, etc. It has its own ideological understanding and insights, and also accommodates various knowledge and various moods in one volume. It shows Zhou Zuoren's early achievements in his creative career and is the most representative of Zhou Zuoren's self-selected works.

"Alismatis Collection" is Zhou Zuoren's self-selected collection after "My Own Garden". It was published in 1927, but most of the articles were written before 1927. "Alismatis Collection" contains 22 essays by Zhou Zuoren, which can express the author's emotions and interests. It is one of the "Kuyuzhai Little Books". It has interesting articles, beautiful articles, and "current articles" that focus on current affairs. It is worth reading carefully and pondering.

"Before the Beginning of Spring" contains more than twenty articles by Zhou Zuoren, mostly written from August 1944 to January 1945, including serious articles about literature, articles about rain, about sending stoves, about the beauty of Japanese paper, and articles about remembering old friends. The serious articles go back to the origins, the articles about remembering old friends are indifferent to life and death, and the articles about things are leisurely.

"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.

"Gua Dou Ji" contains Zhou Zuoren's works from May to December 1936. There are more than thirty articles in total. Compared with the author's previous articles, the content is relatively new and focuses on men and women, desire and sex. As the author said: "'Iconoclasm' and 'moderation' are sandwiched together." Zhou Zuoren's moral outlook established by sexual psychology covers both men and women, but he pays special attention to women, because women have no social security and have many victim statuses. Therefore, he has special sympathy for women's unfortunate experiences, whether it is experience or psychology.

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."

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"Looking at the Clouds" contains forty-one essays by Zhou Zuoren. At the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, a major change was brewing in Zhou Zuoren's prose, both in content and writing style. "Looking at the Clouds" was written during the process of this change. "In 1929, I almost stopped writing." This may also be related to this. It can be said that this is a work in a transitional period. Whether it is a leisurely sketch full of fun or a commentary on current affairs with an angry look, they are all truth-seeking works with "appreciation mixed with criticism". Words of worry, anger, depression and pain can be seen everywhere, reflecting Zhou Zuoren's profound education and extensive knowledge.

"In the four years from Ding Chou to Gengchen, more than sixty articles were written successively. Due to the needs of the bookstore, one-third of them were selected, resulting in twenty-one articles, which were published to the world and titled "Medicinal Flavor Collection." This is the origin of this book. Zhou Zuoren's prose style has always been classified as "leisure", but he said in "The Collection of Medicinal Flavors": "The clumsy prose seems to be leisurely, which often misleads people. Only two old friends know its bitter taste. Fei Ming has briefly mentioned it in the past articles, and has recently seen Japan." A friend commented on the poor article and said that it was quite depressing to read at times, and I am deeply touched by what he said. Now I am talking about the taste of medicine, and I do not deny that it is bitter. If it is said to be beneficial to the disease, it is not necessarily true. The selection here is mostly based on the articles that are close to leisure. "

Mr. Lu Xun wrote a short story "She Opera". The "She Opera" here is different. This is a collection of prose by Shi Pingmei, including "A Red Leaf", "Ivory Ring", "The Last Scene", "Sending Love to the Underworld", "Aftermath of Smoke" and "The Stone Bed by the Clear Pool of Ercui Mountain" "Heart Waves", "Pink Skeleton", "Stormy Night", "I Can Only Be Buried Alone in the Barren Hills", "Broken Hearts and Tears Turned to Ice", "Dream Back Behind the Loneliness and the Broken Lamp", "Infinite Red Smoke", "Dream Back", "Return", "Social Opera" and other chapters. Although the contents of these works have different emphases, they still express the author's extremely passionate and sad cry.

Shi Pingmei is a modern Chinese female writer and revolutionary activist. Most of her works have the theme of pursuing love, truth, and longing for freedom and light. "Occasional Grass" is an anthology of her essays, including 20 articles, namely: "Horror", "Send to Prison", "Late Night Chatter", "Sleep Talk", "Graveside Elegy", "Occasional Grass", "Ashes", "Melancholy", "Occasional Grass" "A Letter from Huijuan", "A Night in the Flower Temple", "Plum Blossom Deer", "Green House", "Yunqin", "Dong Ersao", "Blood Corpse", "Snowy Night", "Morning Glow Reflects My Face", "Looking Down at the Moon in the Water" and "I am Lost in Bitter Memories". Among them, "Crying Hezhen" can be compared with Mr. Lu Xun's "In Memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen", which is a reflection of the social reality at that time.

Shi Pingmei is a modern Chinese female writer and revolutionary activist. Most of her works have the theme of pursuing love, truth, and longing for freedom and light. "Mother" is an anthology of her essays, which includes "Mother", "Jadeweed", "Lusha", "Mei Yin", "Wash the Jade", "Su Xin", "To the Luyin", "To the Jadeweed in the Mountains", "To an Old Friend on the Seaside", "Tian Xin", "After Being Slightly Drunk", "Father's Rope", "Melancholy after Waking Up", "Night Flight", "Sacrifice" and other works. The content of these works involves facial expressions and rich emotions.

"You Are April in the World" is Lin Huiyin's classic collection of essays. More than 1,500 words of life biography have been added to present a true and vivid Lin Huiyin. Complete collection of Lin Huiyin's 10 essays, including "Mourning for Zhimo", "But It's Crispy", etc.; 6 Novels, including "Embarrassment", "Ninety-nine Degrees of Middle", etc.; 9 Letters, including "To Hu Shi", "To Shen Congwen", etc. Each article is the condensation of her smart thoughts and full of talents. Her language is gentle and elegant, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and like the breeze blowing on her face.

"Section of Sections" records the geological and paleontological investigations and surveys conducted by Mr. Yang Zhongjian in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and Guangdong and Guangxi from 1932 to 1936. As before, Yang Lao wrote down his observations and insights during the journey and turned it into a travel diary. Mr. Yang particularly emphasized that some travel notes in the old days had beautiful words and were immortal masterpieces. However, the descriptions were not consistent with the facts. For example, the mountains must have thousands of walls and the moon was nothing more than the Jade Rabbit Chang'e. What's more, Xia Yu would be mentioned when visiting Longmen, and Xia Yu would be mentioned when passing Turpan. Therefore, new travel notes must provide people with accurate knowledge and accurately record the geological background, geographical conditions, and human customs of each place. This writing intention is even more prominent in "Looking at Rivers and Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War". In 1937, the July 7th Incident and the Anti-Japanese War broke out. When Peiping, which he regarded as his second hometown, fell, Mr. Yang left Peiping in November of that year with grief. He traveled through Hunan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, then traveled to Xinjiang, and returned to Peiping, which took six years. This field trip was carried out amidst the decline of the country and the difficult current situation. Yang Laoyou felt that the beauty of our country's mountains and rivers and the abundance of products were not enough to describe it clearly with "splendid mountains and rivers" and "vast land and abundant resources", but should be recorded with actual descriptions and scientific explanations. More importantly, Mr. Yang was shocked to see that foreigners had detailed investigation records of my country's physical geography, but similar books had never appeared in my country's border areas after being lost for many years. He felt deeply the need for the development of geological science in our country.

"The Sorrow of Leaving the Country" was written between 1923 and 1928. It tells the story of how, after graduating from the Geology Department of Peking University in 1923, he went to the University of Munich in Germany to study paleontology and geology under the guidance of the paleontologist Schlosser, funded by his family. In this book, he recorded his experience of starting from Huaxian County, passing through Beijing, Shanghai, and then taking a boat from Shanghai to Munich (which he called Mingxing in the book); he also recorded his experiences while studying abroad, when he and his teachers and classmates conducted geological surveys in Sweden and other cities in Germany. At that time, domestic warlords were fighting, and diplomacy was at a disadvantage. Yang Lao walked along the way and saw that the countryside was on the verge of bankruptcy, urban construction was hopeless, and the people were living in misery, and he felt very sad. When I see things abroad that are on the rise, especially when I visit museums and exhibition halls and see others thriving, I can't help but think of the backwardness of my own country's political and economic situation, let alone the development of science and technology and culture. In short, Mr. Yang's contradictory and complex emotions were revealed all the time during his journey. We follow Mr. Yang's footsteps and travel abroad in the 1920s, and we can also feel his mood. "Cross Sections of the Northwest" was first published in 1932. The author traveled and surveyed for three months in western Shanxi and northern Shaanxi, and then went to the three northeastern provinces for less than a month. Then he participated in the Sino-US inspection team to the eastern part of Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, and finally participated in the Sino-French scientific inspection team, starting from Zhangjiakou and heading west to Turpan and Urumqi, and then returned to Peking via Siberia. Mr. Yang recorded the experiences and feelings of these four trips and compiled them into a volume called "Cross Sections of the Northwest", with a preface by Weng Wenhao.

"New Vision" is Yang Lao's travelogue in Europe and America. At the end of World War II, he departed from Chongqing and flew to California, USA. He visited Miami, New York, Washington, Boston and other places, as well as Canada and Mexico. After that, he returned to the United States and then to the United Kingdom, where he visited and studied geological and paleontological research institutions in London, Cambridge and other places. Later, he returned to China from the United States. At this time, China had won the victory. He was very happy and full of new hope for the future of the country. During this trip to Europe and the United States, in addition to his own itinerary, food and daily life, etc., Mr. Yang also introduced the situation of foreign research institutions and museums at considerable length. In addition, he also described the economic and cultural development of foreign countries that he saw, and often lamented "When can we achieve it?" He heard the news of the victory of World War II in the United States and shared the joy with the American people. After returning to China, he saw the tragic victory at home, and naturally he had new hopes for the recovery of the national economy, especially the construction of disciplines. During this trip to Europe and the United States, Mr. Yang summarized and organized the professional and academic issues in another book - "Overseas Impressions", mainly recording people and events in the disciplines of paleontology and geology. According to Mr. Yang's own words, "the most profound impressions during the travel are listed as special topics in a comprehensive way and recorded one by one." In it, there is a relatively systematic introduction to geological institutions, museums, subject development, brief biographies of scholars, and the latest research results in the United States. It further compares it with the subject situation in my country and points out which of them we can learn from and which ones are not worthy of learning. Mr. Yang single-handedly built my country's vertebrate paleontology. Many of the new results that are being produced now are still thanks to Mr. Yang's planning and management of the discipline at that time. From August to October 1956, Mr. Yang Zhongjian, together with colleagues Zhou Mingzhen and Zhao Jinke from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology, and Si Xingjian from the Nanjing Institute of Paleontology, were invited to visit the Soviet Union. After returning, he wrote "A Two-Month Visit to the Soviet Union". This book records Mr. Yang's experiences in the Soviet Union, especially his exchanges with Soviet paleontologists, as well as field investigations and visits in various places. Through the text, we can have a glimpse of the Soviet Union's national appearance and scientific research strength at that time, understand the Soviet paleontologists, and appreciate the sincere friendship between China and the Soviet Union at that time.

"Collected Works of Gide" includes Gide's three masterpieces: "The Narrow Gate", "The Irregulars" and "The Food of the World". The Food of the World is a collection of essays by Gide. After Gide traveled to North Africa and Italy, he used his wanderings on the road as a clue and used a virtual goddess as the object of his confession to express his feelings about life. He wrote a series of poetic fragments that were combined with traditional short poems, odes, melody and other forms. Gide despised traditional morality and advocated freedom of individual behavior. He especially emphasized people's strong feelings about nature and life, and used this feeling as spiritual food.

"Tears and Laughter" is the posthumous work of modern prose writer Liang Yuchun. It contains two essays, 13 episodic chapters and five prefaces. His prose captures the essence of British sketches, and his techniques and emotions are similar to those of the 18th-century British prose master Charles Lamb. He inherits a kind of tragic humor and is rooted in the soil of Chinese classical literature, drawing nutrients from it, thus forming his own unique artistic style. Among Liang Yuchun's essays, "Talking about "Tramps"" is the longer one, and it is also the one that people prefer. Liang Yuchun made no secret of his praise and yearning for the homeless spirit in this article, which is exciting to read. Reading Liang Yuchun's prose, whether it is the early youthful impulse and youthful spirit, or the later heaviness and vicissitudes of life, people will not feel as plain as water. He is a wanderer on the journey of life, raising his glass to the moon and dancing into the fire.

Each scene describes an era. People from all walks of life in Beijing come in and out of this big teahouse. What the whole play shows is a magnificent historical picture.
