Zuo Youyou is a copywriting genius, a gossip enthusiast, and a top-tier scholar of internet trends. After a misunderstanding, she stumbles into the traditional, staid world of ancient books, despite having neither connections nor impressive academic credentials, and joins the compilation of the Encyclopedia of China, a project already underway for 58 years. Starting with a century-old ledger that had driven four editors away, she struggles with chaotic folk systems of counting, gets battered by the disintegration of ancient books, is blindsided when a rare book sent to a Harvard symposium goes missing in transit, and falls into the abyss of garbled punctuation. She fights her way through every challenge, growing at last into an expert who can stand on her own. But then, over a lost cultural relic, the compilation of the Encyclopedia of China becomes embroiled in a crisis of reputation. Zuo Youyou draws on her professional skills to make ancient books "speak," foiling an auction house's scheme and helping China's lost cultural relics return home. At last, after 60 years, the Encyclopedia of China is complete, and a culture that had slumbered for millennia once again sees the light of day. Protecting traditional culture means passing one lamp to another, until a thousand lamps shine bright.
Looking at the title of the book, I thought it was a serious popular science book, but it turned out that the writing is humorous and witty, with frequent golden sentences. I felt refreshed and excited after reading it. It is truly a "three good books".
The subject matter and perspective are unconventional, the characters have distinct and vivid personalities, and the language and thinking are humorous. You can't stop reading after 2-3 chapters. There are thoughts close to real life that inspire me a lot, and there are also lofty intentions that make people excited. The full text is short, concise and not procrastinating. I recommend it!
It's great. I've been reading books lately and then lost them halfway through. This one really deserves to be added to my list of books to read again and again. The loss of cultural relics is heavy, but the content is interesting and fun. Niu Ma can't read any heavy articles, but this one has connotation, depth and lightness. Highly recommended! ! !
It not only provides professional science popularization, but also has a main story line. The writing style is humorous and often makes people laugh when reading it. It is a great work and is especially worthy of being shown on the silver screen.
The author has such good writing skills, it's both beautiful and funny.
It is a good book with literary talent and humor.
I have been reading online articles for more than ten years. This is the first time I have seen a novel about ancient books, and I am very interested. After reading a book, I will feel warm that the protagonist in the book has the same habits or hobbies as me, and I will be shocked and slightly surprised that the author behind it is also exposed to this trend. Maybe I will also be biased. I will think that workers related to ancient books should keep themselves in In a room, I looked like I was not interested in Internet trends. I felt ashamed and ashamed (not really, hahahaha). In fact, my previous work process was vaguely similar to the one in the article. What impressed me the most was the difficulty of dealing with people. I found it very difficult to deal with problems among so many people and still be so smooth. Hahahaha, so at least in my mind, a profession that was not a human being requires money (laughing to the sky). I used to really think that I would rather drink the northwest wind than give up my waist for three buckets of rice. I was too stingy and misjudged what is most important in the hearts of literati. It is not my own character at all, but the integrity of the nation and the need for survival. Maybe for individuals, survival is the first priority, but don't forget that everything you do, including whether you can live and continue to work, is extending the life of this nation. This novel also made me re-examine my previous experiences and look forward to the future. I am very grateful to the author for his work. I also hope that the author will read less of the articles on foreign websites hahahahaha
What a rare and beautiful book! It is refreshing to me. It contains both knowledge and sense of humor, and more importantly, the feelings of family and country! A book that is highly recommended to write a review for!
It's good to watch, the language is humorous, connotative, and the emotional line is fresh. It's very good. I recommend it!
After reading it, I felt a lot, and I thought of many gradually lost civilizations and inheritances. I hope that the beautiful vision of "one lamp will spread to all lamps, and the world will eventually be enlightened." Can be realized!
