  1. Chilly Moonlight 瑟月微凉 Editor's pick Male Channel Autumn brings strange sights to the borderlands; the geese head south toward Hengyang without a backward glance. Sounds of the frontier rise on all sides with the horns. Among a thousand peaks, a long plume of smoke rises as the sun sets, and the lone city closes its gates. A cup of cloudy wine, with home ten thousand miles away; Yanran has not yet been carved with victory, so there is no way to return. The Qiang flute plays on, frost covers the ground. No one sleeps: the general's hair turns wh 13Books7Follows2yUpdated
  2. The Cool-Hearted Girl 凉情姑娘 Editor's pick Male Channel For a thousand ages, these rivers and mountains have stood, but where can we find Sun Zhongmou, the hero? Dance pavilions and song stages, all that splendor, have been swept away by rain and wind. In the slanting sunlight, among grass and trees, in ordinary lanes, people say that the man called Jinu once lived here. I recall those days: iron spears and armored horses, a spirit that could swallow ten thousand miles like a tiger. 9Books9Follows2yUpdated
  3. Proud but Never Arrogant 傲而不娇 Editor's pick Male Channel In the Yuanjia era, they rushed to claim Mount Langjuxu, only to retreat in panic, looking back toward the north. Forty-three years have passed, yet I still remember the beacon fires along the Yangzhou road. How can I bear to look back? Beneath the shrine of Tuoba Tao, crows feast and drums thunder for the rites. Who will ask: “Lian Po is old, but can he still eat?” 10Books8Follows2yUpdated
  4. A Few Glimpses of the Past 几分曾经 Editor's pick Male Channel I often remember the pavilion by the stream at dusk, when I was so drunk I forgot the way home. When the fun was over, I rowed back late, and blundered deep into the lotus flowers. I rowed on, rowed on, startling a whole bank of gulls and herons into flight. 13Books8Follows2yUpdated
  5. Petals Fall Upon My Shoulder 花落一肩 Editor's pick Male Channel The wind and haze have cleared, and sky and mountains share one color. Drifting with the current, I let the boat go wherever it will. From Fuyang to Tonglu, a little over a hundred miles, the magnificent mountains and unusual waters are unmatched beneath the heavens. The water is a pale blue-green, clear to its thousand-foot depths. Fish and fine stones can be seen plainly, unobstructed. The rapids are faster than arrows, and the fierce waves race like galloping horses. 10Books8Follows2yUpdated
  6. Cold Wind and Strong Liquor 冷风烈酒 Editor's pick Male Channel On both banks rise tall mountains, all covered in hardy trees. They climb upward along the slopes, competing to tower over one another and point straight into the sky, forming countless peaks. Springs strike the rocks with a clear, ringing sound; lovely birds call to one another in harmonious song. Cicadas sing endlessly, and apes cry out without cease. Those who soar toward the sky pause to admire the peaks and quiet their ambitions; those occupied with worldly affairs gaze into the valleys and 13Books9Follows2yUpdated
  7. Cold Wine, a Chilled Heart 冷酒凉心 Editor's pick Male Channel In ancient times, those who studied always had teachers. A teacher is someone who passes on the Way, teaches knowledge, and resolves doubts. No one is born knowing everything, so who can be without questions? If you have questions but do not learn from a teacher, they will never be resolved. If someone was born before me and heard the Way before I did, I learn from them and take them as my teacher. If someone was born after me but heard the Way before I did, I likewise learn from them and take t 10Books9Follows2yUpdated
  8. Eight Degrees of Lingering Warmth 八度余温 Editor's pick Male Channel The sage has no fixed teacher. Confucius studied under Tanzi, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan. Those men were not as wise as Confucius. Confucius said, “When three people walk together, one of them is sure to be my teacher.” Thus, students need not be inferior to their teachers, nor teachers superior to their students. Some hear the Way earlier than others, and each has expertise in a particular field. That is all. 12Books7Follows2yUpdated
  9. A Reading List of Great Books Not to Miss 不错过的好书单 Editor's pick Male Channel The poplars have shed their blossoms, and the cuckoo cries. I hear that you have passed through the Five Streams on your way to Longbiao. I entrust my sorrow to the bright moon, to follow you all the way west to Yelang. 11Books7Follows2yUpdated
  10. My One and Only Obsession 唯一的执念 Editor's pick Male Channel Sunlight shines on Incense Burner Peak, raising violet smoke; from afar, the waterfall hangs before the river. Its torrent plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the ninth heaven. 9Books6Follows2yUpdated
  11. Little Kong's Reading List 小恐哥书单 Editor's pick Male Channel Shun rose from the fields; Fu Yue was discovered while building walls; Jiao Ge was chosen from among fishmongers and salt sellers; Guan Yiwu was raised from prison; Sun Shuao was brought in from the coast; and Baili Xi was found in the marketplace. Thus, when Heaven is about to entrust someone with a great task, it first afflicts their heart and will, tires their limbs, starves their body, and deprives them of their means. It frustrates their every effort, so that their heart is stirred, their n 8Books6Follows2yUpdated
  12. Orange Marmalade 橘子果酱 Editor's pick Male Channel People make mistakes, and only then can they change. Only when troubled in heart and weighed down in thought can they achieve something; only when it shows in their faces and comes out in their voices can others understand. If a state has no principled ministers within and no hostile powers abroad to threaten it, it will surely perish. Thus we know that hardship gives life, while ease brings death. 10Books10Follows2yUpdated
  13. Books Browsed by Shadow of Light 光之影浏览过书 Editor's pick Male Channel Since ancient times, people have mourned autumn's desolation. I say autumn days surpass spring mornings. A crane rises through the clouds in a clear sky, carrying poetic inspiration up to the blue heavens. 9Books6Follows2yUpdated
  14. Airplane Boy 飞机男孩 Editor's pick Male Channel You ask when I'll return, but I have no date. At night in Ba Mountain, autumn rain swells the pond. When shall we sit together, trimming the candle by the west window, and speak of that rainy night in Ba Mountain? 11Books5Follows2yUpdated
  15. Tianxin Book Pavilion 天信书阁 Editor's pick Male Channel I visited Clear Spring Temple by the Qi River. The temple stands beside Lan Creek, whose waters flow west. Orchid shoots below the hill dip into the stream; the sandy path among the pines is clean and free of mud. In the evening rain, the cuckoo calls. 13Books6Follows2yUpdated
  16. Gentle as a Breeze 淡若轻风 Editor's pick Male Channel The old immortal rode a yellow crane away; only the Yellow Crane Tower remains here. Once gone, the yellow crane never returned; for a thousand years, white clouds drifted on. On the sunny riverbank, the trees of Hanyang stand clear; fragrant grasses flourish on Parrot Island. As dusk falls, where is my hometown? The river mists fill me with sorrow. 13Books2Follows2yUpdated
  17. Sweet Fairy 甜味仙女 Editor's pick Male Channel In the desolate lands of Ba and Chu, I have been cast aside for twenty-three years. I sing in vain of old friends and flute songs; home again, I seem like the man who returned to find the world changed. By the sunken boat, a thousand sails pass; before the ailing tree, ten thousand trees bloom in spring. Today, I hear you sing a song; let me borrow a cup of wine to lift my spirits. 15Books7Follows2yUpdated
  18. A Little Reading List Packed with Good Stuff 小书单有干货 Editor's pick Male Channel Green mountains stretch along the northern wall; clear waters circle the eastern town. Here we part, and you go ten thousand miles, like a lone tumbleweed. Floating clouds are like a wanderer's thoughts; the setting sun, like an old friend's affection. I wave as you depart; our horses neigh softly as they part. 11Books8Follows2yUpdated
  19. Be Happy, Always 一定要快樂 Editor's pick Male Channel In the tenth year, in spring, the Qi army invaded our state. The Duke was preparing for battle when Cao Gui asked to see him. A fellow villager said, “The nobles will decide what to do. Why get involved?” Cao Gui replied, “The nobles are shortsighted and cannot plan far ahead.” He went in to see the Duke and asked, “What will you rely on to win the battle?” The Duke replied, “I would never keep for myself the food and clothing that sustain me; I always share them with others.” 8Books6Follows2yUpdated
  20. A Collection of Great Books 好书集中收藏 Editor's pick Male Channel The Duke rode with Cao Gui, and they fought at Changshao. The Duke was about to sound the drums, but Cao Gui said, “Not yet.” The Qi army beat its drums three times. Cao Gui said, “Now.” The Qi army was routed. The Duke was about to chase them, but Cao Gui said, “Not yet.” He looked down at their tracks, then stood on the carriage crossbar and watched them. “Now,” he said, and they pursued the Qi army. 12Books10Follows2yUpdated
  21. My Memories Got Lost 回忆走丢了 Editor's pick Male Channel After the victory, the Duke asked why. Cao Gui replied, “A battle depends on courage. The first drumbeat inspires; the second weakens it, and the third exhausts it. Their courage was spent while ours was strong, so we defeated them. A great state is hard to fathom, and we feared an ambush. But I saw their chariot tracks in disarray and their banners fallen, so I pursued them.” 10Books7Follows2yUpdated
  22. Please Don't Forget This Reading List 请别忘了这书单 Editor's pick Male Channel Last night, rain was light and the wind fierce; deep sleep could not dispel the lingering wine. I asked the maid who rolled up the curtain, and she said the crabapple blossoms were just as before. “You don't know, you don't know? The leaves must be lush and the flowers sparse.” 13Books6Follows2yUpdated
  23. Laughing at the Fleeting Years 笑叹似水流年 Editor's pick Male Channel I am descended from Emperor Gaoyang; my late father was named Boyong. The year began in the month of Yin, and I was born on the day of Gengyin. My father examined my birth and bestowed a fine name upon me: He named me Zhengze and gave me the courtesy name Lingjun. 14Books7Follows2yUpdated
  24. Where the Lights Fade 灯火阑珊处 Editor's pick Male Channel We agreed to meet at dusk, yet halfway there you changed your course! At first you gave me your word, but later you regretted it and fled to someone else. I do not mind parting from you; what grieves me is how often you change your mind. 11Books5Follows2yUpdated
  25. I've Never Regretted It 不曾后悔过 Editor's pick Male Channel I sighed and grieved in anguish, lamenting that my time was so ill-starred. I gathered fragrant orchids to wipe away my tears, which soaked my lapels in streams. Kneeling, I spread my robe and laid out my words; at last, my heart had found its true course. I yoked jade dragons to my phoenix carriage and, in a sudden gust of wind, ascended. 11Books6Follows2yUpdated
  26. Passing Youth 走鐹的青春 Editor's pick Male Channel I watered my horses at Xianchi, then gathered my reins at Fusang. I broke a branch from Ruomu to brush the sun, and wandered at ease for a while. I sent Wangshu ahead to lead the way, and Feilian behind to hurry after me. The phoenixes flew ahead to scout, but the Thunder Master said my party was not yet ready. 10Books6Follows2yUpdated
  27. Being Fierce Just Isn't My Style 霸气不是我的范儿 Editor's pick Male Channel Whirlwinds gathered and swept apart, while clouds and rainbows came to greet me. Everything tangled together, now joined, now parted, flashing in varied colors as it rose and fell. I ordered the Gatekeeper of Heaven to open the gates, but he leaned against them and looked down at me. The light was fading and dusk was near; I tied up a sprig of orchid and waited on. 10Books8Follows2yUpdated
  28. A Joyful Reading List, Handpicked Books 欢乐书单，精选书籍 Editor's pick Male Channel Swiftly I traveled to the Palace of Spring and broke off a jade branch to add to my pendant. Before its blossoms fell, I thought of a maiden below to whom I might give it. I asked Fenglong to ride the clouds and find where Fufei dwelt. I untied my pendant cord to send a message, and asked Jianxiu to act as go-between. Everything tangled together, now joined, now parted; suddenly, the way forward was blocked. 15Books9Follows2yUpdated
  29. Find Me a Corner to Cry In 给个角落伤心 Editor's pick Male Channel I gazed toward the lofty Jade Terrace and saw the lovely maiden of You Song. I asked the vulture to be my matchmaker, but it told me the match was no good. The male dove flew off calling, yet I still disliked its frivolous ways. My heart hesitated, full of doubt; I longed to go myself, but could not. 11Books5Follows2yUpdated
  30. Every Book Carefully Selected 精选每一本 Editor's pick Male Channel Before Shaokang took a wife, he kept the two Yao sisters of Youyu. My words are weak and my matchmaker inept; I fear the message will never get through. The age is corrupt, and the worthy are hated; people conceal beauty and praise what is vile. The inner chambers are far beyond reach, and the wise king will not awaken. 11Books3Follows2yUpdated
  31. A Fading Candle Beyond the Frost 残烛隔霜清 Editor's pick Male Channel With my feelings held back, how can I bear to endure this forever? I sought sacred milfoil and bamboo slips, and bade Lingfen cast a divination for me. He said, “When two beauties are meant to be together, who would not cherish one so pure and virtuous? The nine provinces are so vast: surely there are other women besides her?” 13Books7Follows2yUpdated
  32. Lost Heart, Lost Dreams, Lost Happiness 遗心遗梦遗幸福 Editor's pick Male Channel The age is dim and murky, dazzling in its confusion. Who can see my good and evil clearly? People's likes and dislikes differ, yet these partisan men are unlike any others! They wear mugwort at their waists, and say that secluded orchids are unfit to wear. They cannot even tell one plant from another. How could they recognize a precious gem? 11Books8Follows2yUpdated
  33. Books Warm My Memories 书暖回忆 Editor's pick Male Channel As a boy, I knew nothing of sorrow, yet loved to climb high towers. I loved to climb high towers, and to write new verses, I forced myself to speak of sorrow. Now that I know sorrow through and through, I want to speak, but stop. I want to speak, but stop, and say instead, “What a lovely cool autumn day!” 15Books5Follows2yUpdated
  34. Desolate Lonely City 荒凉的孤城 Editor's pick Male Channel The tide has ebbed, the banks stretch wide; a fair wind fills my sail. The sun rises over the sea before night has passed; spring enters the old year. Where can I send a letter home? The returning geese fly toward Luoyang. 11Books8Follows2yUpdated
  35. Reviving the Han Dynasty with Liu Adou 三兴汉室刘阿斗 Editor's pick Male Channel Liu Shan: a ruler who defended his realm? A benevolent ruler? A mediocre one? Which label fits? The fact that Shu Han lasted twenty-nine years after Zhuge Liang’s death, thanks in part to the Memorial on the Northern Expedition, suggests it was at least stronger than the other two states. 10Books10Follows2yUpdated
