"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has nearly 500 chapters, with superb thinking and sharp writing, and promotes the anti-feudal democratic spirit. The lonely ghosts, flower demons and the underworld are undoubtedly the focus and interpretation points of Pu's legendary legend. However, the vast world and all kinds of human beings, including animals, insects and butterflies, mountains, rivers and ravines, diving fish and dragons, wind, frost, thunder and lightning, study halls and examination halls, government offices, market shops, and boudoir houses, are all transformed and transformed in the writing. Among them, the satirical exposure of the shortcomings of the imperial examinations and official corruption is extremely heart-wrenching; the flower demons, ghosts and foxes endowed with beautiful humanity, and the life-or-death love story between humans and demons are particularly touching...

🐲Recommendation index: ★★★★☆ 🐲Era: Qing Dynasty 🐲This is a very classic fantasy novel. The stories in it such as A Chinese Ghost Story, Painted Skin, and Water Ghost are well-known and popular. I particularly like the fox fairy in it, especially the scene where Ying Ning is sitting on the tree and laughing, looking forward to the scene. The storyline inside is ups and downs and deeply touching. Highly recommended! ! !

"Flower in the Mirror" is a long fantasy novel from the Qing Dynasty. It tells the story of Tang Ao and his party traveling overseas by boat. During the journey, they visited different countries and experienced various adventures. These countries are all reflections of various phenomena in reality, such as the daughter country where the status of men and women is completely reversed, the heartless country where the rich are unkind, the hypocritical and cunning two-faced country, etc. The author presents the various social issues of his own era, the values he advocates, and the good and evil in human nature in a symbolic and exaggerated way, making it both fresh and interesting to read, and also thoughtful. Therefore, some people compare this book to "Gulliver's Travels in the East".

🐲Recommendation index: ★★★★☆ 🐲Era: Qing Dynasty 🐲This book can be said to be a very interesting ancient fantasy novel. After the protagonist goes to sea, he goes to various exotic places, including the country of adults with auspicious clouds, the country of tall adults, the country of daughters where the identities of men and women are interchanged, and the country of people with dog heads. . . . . . Countless interesting and magnificent imaginations make up this book. Although the Chinese literature and the temple plot in the second half may be a little boring, it is still very interesting. Even though it has been a hundred years, it is still shocking. Highly recommended! !

7Sun Tzu's Art of War
Military孙子兵法
Sun Wu
"The Art of War" was written in the late Spring and Autumn Period 2,500 years ago. It is the world's earliest military theory work and the greatest military strategic thought in ancient China. It has been translated into 27 languages including Japanese, French, English, Russian and German, and has been published in thousands of versions around the world. It is one of the most influential and widely circulated ancient Chinese books in the world. Chinese people are all familiar with the famous sayings from "The Art of War": "Victory by surprise", "Survival after death", "Know yourself and the enemy, and victory is not in danger". However, the significance of reading this "sacred book of military science" lies more in learning the strategic wisdom behind its tactics and the far-sighted attitude towards war. Its macro perspective and forward-looking ideas have given it a charm that spans time and technology, and is highly praised by the political, military, business and cultural circles. There are many emperors who regard it as a model, such as Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Napoleon, US Presidents Nixon and Clinton, military strategists Nobuhiro Takeda, Tommy Franks, and the founders of Panasonic, Sony, and Honda Motors. The original text of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is not long, only more than 6,000 words, divided into thirteen chapters. This book is based on the most complete Southern Song Dynasty's "Eleven Family Notes on Sun Tzu", and was translated and annotated by Liu Qing, a strategic researcher and doctoral supervisor at the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Each chapter first displays the original text of The Art of War, and after a short explanation, proceeds to sentence-by-sentence translation and annotation analysis. I hope to present the elegance of Chinese wisdom in the most concise and clear way.

🐲Recommendation index: ★★★★☆ 🐲Era: Spring and Autumn Period 🐲"The Art of War" tells the wisdom of the ancients and describes the principles of struggle. Although we may not go to war, Sun Tzu's wisdom is reflected in all aspects of our lives, in shopping malls, workplaces, studies, and life. Countless great men fell in love with him and found their own path. I believe it will be helpful to you if you read it.
🐲Recommendation index: ★★★★☆ 🐲Period: Warring States Period 🐲I personally like the (metaphorical?) Short stories in it. There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in a pot (cross out 🐶). There are also the trout in the rut, Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies, etc., Which are very interesting. At the same time, the language inside is beautiful, the truth is profound, and the aftertaste is long.
