Greek mythology has been circulating for more than 3,000 years. Its glorious and grand scenes, distinctive characters and beautiful and tortuous storylines have made it popular among readers all over the world. As one of the two pillars of Western civilization, Greek mythology continues to influence the development of Western society, culture, literature and art, and is one of the most convenient ways for us to truly understand the West. Due to the passage of time, Greek myths were chaotically included in various versions. In the 19th century, the German romantic poet Schwab, who had been committed to sorting out and preserving classical culture, used his vivid words of great literary value and rigorous and sophisticated national characteristics to change the original story's complexity and chaos, and completed "Greek Myth Stories" with a relatively clear genealogy of the gods and a relatively concentrated storyline. Since the book came out, it has been translated into various languages ​​and is a best-seller to this day.

"Yang Sao: Modern Literature and the Imprint of Traditional Countryside" is the first monograph on "Yang Sao Studies" in the true sense in the history of modern Chinese literature. This book mainly takes Yang Sao's literary creation and life path as the research object. It combines the historical environment, cultural system, and complex situations at home and abroad. It uses detailed information to examine Yang Sao's cultural feelings from the perspective of the process of modern Chinese literature and the Zhangzhou writers. It discusses Yang Sao's role in modern my country. An early symbolist poet in the history of modern literature, he used his life's "blood and tears" to write about his wandering, ups and downs, short and endless struggle of life. He took the initiative to place himself in the torrent of the times, consciously shared the hardships with the country and the people, and enthusiastically expressed the themes of the times. This book points out that Yang Sao's creations not only show common characteristics of the times in the literary world, but also show the regional characteristics of Fujian and the characteristics of southern Fujian. Because Yang Saohuai has deep feelings for Fujian, his spiritual world and cultural psychology are deeply imprinted on the life image of southern Fujian society and culture. Yang Sao walked a unique path as a "son of Fujian", from "an early symbolist poet" to "writing the mainstream and mood of the times" to "a 'warrior with pen'", representing the "life path shared by thousands of revolutionary writers of that era". To sum up, this book studies Yang Sao from a cultural perspective. It has new insights in exploring Yang Sao's modern literary characteristics of following the tendency of symbolist poetics, exploring the core spirit of the left-wing era, the feelings of Fujian with regional colors, the inheritance and innovation of national culture, the humanistic care for cultural transcendence, and the artistic expression of the soul. The conclusions are plain and reliable. With rich information, novel perspectives, and profound discussions, this book advances the academic research on Yang Sao.

Historically, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of prediction when reading the "Book of Changes". In fact, the "Book of Changes" contains almost all the essence of Chinese culture. It reflects the scientific understanding of the natural universe, celestial phenomena and phenology by the ancestors of the Chinese nation since ancient times, which reflects the Chinese nation's view of the universe and nature, and further extends to the ideological content of natural philosophy, human ethics philosophy, aesthetic philosophy and other aspects. If you read it carefully, you may be able to find many of the origins of Chinese culture. However, reading the "Book of Changes" can be difficult or easy. If we can clarify its essence and analyze its spiritual connotation, it may provide certain reference for politics, business and moral cultivation.

1957 - this special year that Chinese intellectuals entered into many hardships. An anti-rightist movement put them into a painful situation that lasted for decades. Their fate was ravaged by this movement, and their lives were ups and downs in the stormy sea! The year 1957 became the beginning of an irreversible nightmare, with mysteries lurking in the fog... The author attempts to explain the anti-rightist movement from another angle through a personal review of this period and a review of many representative people and events. He wants to explore what this land, which is steeped in the production methods, psychological methods and autocratic dynasties of the East, has towards intellectuals, especially thinkers. This book is not so much about writing the fate of intellectuals as it is about writing the fate of the entire nation and ourselves. Only by touching those historical wounds can we grasp the pulse of China today and in the future.

For the Chinese, "class struggle" was a word that was even more important than eating from the first half of the 20th century to the decades of reform and opening up. The so-called "class struggle" was triggered by composition and origin, with the "five types of elements" and "the children of the five black types" as the primary targets of struggle. Therefore, the "state of war" became the real norm in people's daily lives at that era. And the lives of those various elements who were labeled as political began decades of purgatory-like suffering... This book uses a large amount of detailed information and interviews with relevant parties to reproduce the nightmarish madness and various deformed political ecology that made people shudder during the "class struggle" years. In the current era, the importance of facing up to history is even more highlighted.
