Diary of an Idler

Through my (Zhang Daxian, retired editor)'s tour of Beijing during the 24 solar terms, it reflects Beijing's four-season customs and people's Zen mood from the beginning of spring to the Great Cold. Each solar term is a window. Through the author's eyes, we can see the breathing and heartbeat of this ancient capital, and see the depth and beauty of ordinary days, all circulating in these twenty-four chapters.
