From December 2018 to the present, he has served as the director of the Department of History of Northwestern University. He has served as a member of the discipline evaluation group of the 6th and 7th State Council Academic Degree Committee, a visiting professor at the School of Humanities, a Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, a Hongguo lecturer at the Nanjing Normal University, and a distinguished professor at the Chongqing Normal University. He has served as the 11th, 12th and 13th president of the China Qin and Han History Research Association. He is currently the consultant of the China Qin and Han History Research Association and the vice president of the Chinese Heluo Culture Research Association.

From educated youth in line to train, railway loaders to college students, from university professors and subject leaders to president of the China Qin and Han History Research Association, Professor Wang Zijin's academic path has been step by step and continues to extend forward. He used his talents, diligence and fruitful results to lay a colorful academic trajectory.

"Mother, give me strong support"

1977 was the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination after the "Cultural Revolution".

The prince is now inspecting the Han Dynasty ruins site in Ejina, Inner Mongolia. The author is provided by the author. The college entrance examination for this year is under 25 years old. It also enrolls high school graduates of 1966 and 1967.

Wang Zijin, who has only studied in junior high school, is 27 years old, exceeding the registration age. He has also worked at the Xi'an Railway Bureau office at that time and is participating in front-line labor. He is not willing to take leave to prepare for the exam.

However, there is another application requirement: "If you have rich practical experience and have achieved achievements or have expertise in research, the age can be relaxed to 30 years old." Prince Jin's mother encouraged him and said that he must not give up this last chance, and must sign up and strive for it. The prince followed his mother's instructions. He said to the staff of the registration office: "Please sign up for me. If it is swept down, I will recognize it!"

After more than a month of sudden review, from December 9 to 10 of that year, the prince took the college entrance examination as he wished. He applied for four choices, namely the Archaeology major of Peking University, the Library Science major of Peking University, the Library Science major of Wuhan University, and the Archaeology major of Northwestern University, and was finally admitted to the fourth volunteer.

The gate of the university was opened for him. The prince has overcome the first hurdle in his life and took the first step on the long road of historical research.

Recalling this important life choice more than 40 years ago, Wang Zijin was very moved: "Some people say that the most should be thanked is the university professor who proposed the proposal to resume the college entrance examination; some people say that the most should be thanked is the national leader who made the decision to resume the college entrance examination. For an ordinary young man like me who has got the opportunity to enter the university campus, I deeply think that what I should be thanked most is the dear mother who encourages and supports me to embark on the academic path."

Wang Zijin's mother is Wang Shenzhi, a native of Wu'an, Hebei Province. She was born in 1925 and joined the Communist Party of China in 1941 and has been engaged in education, youth and news propaganda for a long time. Although she has never been to college and has no chance to directly participate in academic activities, she respects knowledge and yearns for academics, and hopes that her children can have lofty ambitions and be a knowledgeable person.

Wang Zijin's "The World of Children in Qin and Han Dynasties" is provided by the author

1981, on the eve of college graduation, Wang Zijin once again faced a choice: Should I take the postgraduate entrance examination? He felt that he was old and many of his classmates had not signed up. It was good to just take the job, so it didn't matter whether he took the exam or not.

Mother once again encouraged him to continue his postgraduate studies.In order to reduce his concerns and burdens and allow him to review and prepare for the exam better, she took her granddaughter, who was just over one year old, to Beijing and kept it next to her to take care of her. On the day the prince completed his last exam, his mother sent his daughter back to Xi'an.

The prince still clearly remembers the scene when he received his mother and daughter on the platform at Xi'an Railway Station that day. At that moment, he felt more deeply about his mother's kindness and expectations for him.

In this year, Wang Zijin successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination for Professor Lin Jianming of the History Department of Northwestern University, and began to engage in the study of Qin and Han history, opening a door to the world of history.

Since the prince was in college today, his mother has subscribed to academic magazines such as Archaeology, and has also purchased literary and historical books such as " Thirteen Classics Notes and Commentaries on the Annotations of the Grand Historian", " Han Book ", " Later Han Book ", " Three Kingdoms ", " Zizhi Tongjian ", "Wenxuan", "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue". These books and magazines are not only her own hobbies, but more to help her son successfully enter the palace of historical research. "The title pages of many books contain the mother's seals, which are still bright and eye-catching. Whenever you look at them, you will always have tears in your eyes and miss them all." Wang Zijin said with emotion.

At the beginning of 1985, Wang Zijin, who had just graduated from graduate school, came to Beijing to work in the Central Party School. This year, his mother also retired and had more time to devote herself to her love for literature and history. At the suggestion of her neighbor, the famous scholar Mr. Wang Liyi, Wang Shenzhi began to compile and study bamboo branch lyrics .

Zhuzhi Ci is a poetic style evolved from ancient Bashu folk songs. It mainly expresses folk customs and local landscapes. It does not pay attention to the rigorous sentence structure and rhyme like metrical poetry, and is more close to people's lives. Tang Dynasty Literary Liu Yuxi found that this type of folk song is very literary, so he collected and imitated some bamboo branch poems. Later literati followed suit, and it continued to be popular in the Qing Dynasty. Especially literati in Jiangsu and Zhejiang almost always wrote bamboo branch poems in their hometowns. The charm of

Zhuzhi's words deeply attracted Wang Shenzhi. From then on, she has been carrying bread and water every day for more than ten years, and set off from home early in the morning, taking the bus to the Beijing Library on Wenjin Street (now National Library ) to collect bamboo branches. She often sits all day and does not return home until the store is closed.

was infected by his mother, the "bamboo tellect fantasy", and Wang Zijin also devoted himself to it. The mother and son jointly wrote a good story of organizing and studying bamboo tellect.

In 1994, Wang Shenzhi was 69 years old, and the "Overseas Bamboo Branch Ci of the Qing Dynasty" compiled by their mother and son was officially published; in 2003, Wang Shenzhi was 78 years old, and the "Bamboo Branch Ci of the All Dynasties" compiled by Wang Liqi, Wang Shenzhi and Wang Zijin was published. The following year, he won the China Book Award ; in 2009, Wang Shenzhi was 84 years old, and the mother and son co-published "Research on Bamboo Branch Ci".

Wang Zijin's "Draft History of Qin and Han Traffic" is provided by the author

"My mother has been away from us for 13 years. I think in my heart that my mother has given me strong support. Some ideas and words in my academic field are long-lasting memories from the mother-son family affection. My mother's education is my directional guidance to this day. Her care, guidance and motivation are my eternal vitality and motivation for progress. My academic efforts are continuing to realize her wishes; my academic progress is another form of continuation of her life." Wang Zijin said emotionally.

"His knowledge is as thick and powerful as the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the hands of Guan Gong "

"In the academic community, people respectfully call Professor Zijin "Zi Lao", expressing sincere admiration, which also shows that his academic achievements have been recognized by scholars." Professor , School of History, Renmin University of China, said.

Writings and papers are the basic way for scholars to publish their academic research results. They best represent a scholar's academic level and academic thoughts, and reflect a scholar's research methods and academic realm.

Over the past decades, Wang Zijin has presided over and completed a series of major and key projects of the National Social Science Foundation of and multiple humanities and social science fund projects of the Ministry of Education. He has published more than 60 books, published more than 860 professional papers, and published more than 420 other academic articles of various types.

"Talented and ten thousand books are so beautiful that they are not a fairy in the wine." On the day of the prince's 70th birthday, Song History expert Li Huarui used these two sentences to evaluate Wang Zijin. "What best reflects Zi Lao's academic and character is his articles and his wine."

"Talented and eight dou" comes from the allusion of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Xie Lingyun said Cao Zhi is a talent of eight dou: "The world has a single stone, Cao Zijian has a single eight dou, I have one dou, I have one dou, and I have one dou since ancient times and the present"; "I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful.

Li Huarui believes that the prince now has his own unique academic characteristics: "He reads a lot and has many interests. He is interested in the transportation, children, gender, title, ethnicity, borders, ecology and people in the Qin and Han dynasties. Especially his perspective is broad, which comes from his observation of real society. Today, whenever there are social hot spots, he can always find all kinds of clues that can be related and compared in history."

"What kind of knowledge do we want to do? The first thing is to cultivate interest and have a keen perspective. Where do these come from? Observe society and observe reality. "Li Huarui often encourages students to take Wang Zijin as a model. "History is yesterday, the day before yesterday, and today. In every different day, there are both similar focus and ever-new continuation. Historical researchers should like Zi Lao to discover and capture refreshing topics or problems from history, making the research unique, and feel like "like déjà vu and return, and the fragrance of the small garden wanders alone'."

Through in-depth investigation of the social life of the Qin and Han Dynasties, Wang Zijin wrote a monograph "The World of Children in the Qin and Han Dynasties" with children as the theme, enriching the academic community's understanding of the specific appearance of ancient society. For example, he noticed that the Han Dynasty often used "descendants" as the name, and collected 51 related Han Jingming materials, and summarized the combination of the concept of "descendants" in the Han Dynasty and the demands of life such as dignity, longevity, wealth, loving, beauty, peace, and joy. Wang Zijin pointed out: "From this information, we can infer the wishes of ordinary people in the Han Dynasty. These life expectations were combined with 'appropriate descendants', and together formed the happiness index in the social consciousness at that time."

Young officials and evil teenagers were common content in Han Dynasty literature, but previous research paid little attention to it. In "The World of Children in Qin and Han Dynasties", Wang Zijin specifically examined the participation and crime of teenagers in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and conducted in-depth research on these two historical phenomena that were not valued. For example, regarding the young officials, Huo Qubing, a famous general during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, was the emperor's attendant at the age of 18. He made outstanding achievements in the war against the Huns, but he lacked the proper sympathy and love for the lower-class soldiers. The prince now recognized the evaluation of Huo Qubing in Sima Qian's attendant "The young minister is expensive, and the noble is unaware of the scholar." Although there may be some disadvantages for young people to be officials, he also found that: "Early contacting administrative practice may have positive significance for tempering management capabilities. Many young officials who have such experience later became famous officials in governing the country." Through these case studies, what Wang Zijin wants to observe is a special phenomenon in the political life of the Han Dynasty. He can understand the spiritual outlook of people at that time from the social responsibilities and the social role played by young people in the Han Dynasty and understand the spirit of the times in society. "At the same time, it can also deepen the understanding of the basis of the administration of officials at that time, and the relevant characteristics of traditional Chinese political forms can also be given a more realistic and vivid explanation."

"Professor Zijin is good at grasping questions and is also good at placing these questions in the background of the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties for investigation." Peng Wei, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.

Prince Xi started with studying history by studying archaeology, which gave a clear mark on his academic style. "Based on archaeology, Professor Zijin has unique advantages in the field of ancient Chinese history research.Several of his research results have an archaeological perspective, archaeological methods, and interpretation and application of archaeological materials. "Sun Jiazhou commented.

bamboo slips unearthed from Changsha, , is a batch of cultural relics from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms period. The texts recorded in it contain rich historical and cultural information. In 2017, Wang Zijin published a monograph "Research on Changsha Bamboo Slips", which is his representative work of studying history with his archaeological achievements. For example, the "Looking" and plum blossoms unearthed from the No. 1 Han Tomb of Mawangdui No. 1 The article "Deer Specimen" starts with the signs and texts about "deer" unearthed from the Han Tomb No. 1 of Mawangdui, and then discusses the skeleton specimens of sika deer . Further conducts more in-depth research on the living habits of deer, the customs of hunting in the Han Dynasty, and the changes in the distribution area of ​​sika deer, which can be regarded as a typical case of ecological history investigation.

"This paper can be said to be a big one in small and has broad ideas. To be honest, I have sorted out bamboo slips and silks in , Hunan Provincial Museum, for more than ten years. I am quite familiar with the materials of the bamboo slips he discussed, but I never thought that I could conduct in-depth research in this way. " , Professor , Chen Songchang, said, "Professor Zijin is good at starting from seemingly small issues and researching very profound and broad conclusions. "

Prince Jin is generous and humorous, which is also reflected in his knowledge. More than 20 years ago, he wrote an article titled "The Cui Family's Douban Shang - Manshuo" and the theme was about the errors that are easy to appear when translated into Chinese by Chinese, and corrected the mistakes in the translation of several more influential academic translations. In 2021, he published "About "The Immortal Prince Jin" - Chinese translation of "Ancient Literature" in Overseas Chinese Scientology", which mentioned that a translated work mistranslated the ancient "Prince Jin" as "Prince Jin". The modern prince wrote "Ancient Prince Jin" and made people laugh when reading it.

"This kind of debat and critical article is difficult to grasp the scale of discourse. In terms of effect, the technical treatment of the term is almost as important as the motivation of the critic. Once handled improperly, it is easy to form a dispute between the critic and the criticized, resulting in a negative impact that violates the original intention of academic criticism. Professor Zijin’s brilliant point is that his tone is peaceful throughout the article and his respect for the original translator runs through the whole story. I think many readers and the original translator who pointed out the mistakes by Professor Quinzijin can feel his kindness and kindness as a critic. "Sun Jiazhou said.

" Professor Zijin has made achievements in many aspects. This is not just a simple monograph. If you read his works carefully, you will always feel powerful and powerful, which is very important. "Zhao Kai, Secretary-General of the China Qin and Han History Research Association, compared Wang Zijin's academic style to "Guan Gong's sword dance". "I am honored that I have worked part-time at the China Qin and Han History Research Association for many years and have more opportunities to ask Professor Zijin for help, "Travel from the elders." His knowledge is as thick and powerful as the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Gong's hand. When he dances the knife, he is calm and agile, and easily controls historical research. "

" Puts the study of Qin and Han history in the broad perspective of the entire ancient history"

After a long accumulation of the pre-Qin period, Chinese history entered the Qin and Han dynasties. From Qin Shihuang to Cao Pi 6 generation of Han Han, the most significant historical marks in the process of civilization in nearly four and a half centuries are the founding of the empire and the prosperity of Han culture. Wang Zijin is deeply immersed in this history and regards the history of Qin and Han transportation as a key research area for his deep cultivation.

Since 1981, he has been studying the history of the Qin and Han dynasties for more than 40 years. When talking about Wang Zijin's academic achievements, what Sun Jiazhou deeply admires is his tenacity to stick to the green mountains and not relax: "Focusing on the issue of transportation history of Qin and Han dynasties, he has devoted more than 40 years and energy to continuously launch such a large number of high-quality academic works, which directly drives the formation of academic hotspots - such academic landscape and academic energy is really rare in the historical community today. ”

examines the political activities and subsequent political achievements of the Qin and Han dynasties, and cannot ignore the ancient transportation conditions.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the prince and his friends walked several times to inspect the southern section of Qinzhi Road , and conducted on-site inspections on the ruins of Wuguan Road, Tangluo Road, and the ruins of the northern section of the Qinling Mountains with various transportation methods.

In April 1984, Wang Zijin rode a bicycle from Xi'an to inspect Wuguan Road back and forth. This ancient road from the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, also known as Shangshan Road , is an important transportation route from ancient Chang'an to Nanyang , Dengzhou , Jingxiang, and even to Jiangnan and Lingnan. Bai Juyi wrote in his poem "Climbing the Highest Top of Shangshan": "High above this mountain, and only smoke and clouds are visible. There is a road below, which connects Chu and Qin." Back then, Liu Bang entered the pass from then on.

Then, Wang Zijin and his friends visited Tangluo Road by riding a motorcycle and walking, which is another post road that connects Hanzhong and Sichuan through the Qinling Mountains. Later, they also walked to inspect the section from Qin Shihuang to the Chunhua to Huangling. "The straight road of Qin Shihuang is the transportation avenue leading from the Great Wall defense line to the Guanzhong administrative center. It is the highest-level engineering remains and can be regarded as a commemoration of Qinzheng ." Wang Zijin said.

inspection itinerary is quite difficult. The scorching sun and hot sweat, mosquitoes and flies infestation, are still fresh in memory after many years.

"I saw the mugwort store yesterday, and now I am in Xinglong Pass. Mawan hungry meals, and I have been away for eighteen years." The poems written by Zhang Zaiming, a researcher at Shaanxi Provincial Archaeology Institute, are memories of the investigation of Qin Zhidao with Wang Zijin and others in August 1990. "Mawan hungry meals" mean that because there was no food to eat, their group had begged for food at the Heimawan Forestry Station. Based on these investigation results, Wang Zijin and his friends co-wrote articles such as "Brief on Investigation of the Plank Road Relics of Ancient Wuguan Road", "Brief on Investigation of the Plank Road Relics of Danfeng Shangyi Site in Shaanxi", "Brief on Investigation of the Plank Road Relics of the Northern Section of the Qinling Section of Ziwu Road", and published them in publications such as "Archaeology and Cultural Relics", "Archaeology", and "Wenbo". Wang Zijin also wrote "New Knowledge of the History of Transportation in Qin and Han Dynasties", "Architecture of Transportation in Qin and Han Dynasties", "Transportation Pattern and Regional Administration of Qin and Han Dynasties", "Inspection and Research of Qin and Shihuang's Straight Road", "Zhiche and Dragon Horse: Inspection of Transportation Culture in Qin and Han Dynasties".

Wang Zijin's " Draft of the History of the Qin and Han dynasties " is the first authoritative work that comprehensively examines the history of the Qin and Han dynasties. The historical community believes that his research not only exhausted and thoroughly understood the vast and scattered documents of the past, but also attached great importance to the excavation and utilization of archaeological materials, and conducted a large number of field investigations, which enabled his research on the history of transportation in the Qin and Han Dynasties to surpass his predecessors and stand out.

In 1994, as a research result funded by the National Social Science Foundation, the "Draft History of Transportation in Qin and Han Dynasties" was published by the Central Party School Press of the Communist Party of China. In 2013, China Renmin University Press released an updated version. In 2020, after another revision, this book was included in the "Social Science Literature Academic Library" and was launched by the Social Science Literature Press.

"A academic monograph with the same title was launched by three publishers within 26 years, which is rare in academic history and publishing history. Moreover, the three versions are very different, and the latter ones have many gains, and the chapter structure has also been adjusted and improved. It can be said that the three versions are inherited before and after, but they are not simply relying on their old capital, but are constantly in-depth and expansion in the research on the same issue." Sun Jiazhou commented.

While focusing on the history of transportation in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Wang Zijin is also constantly exploring new fields of cultivation. In recent years, his academic gardens have been blooming in a variety of flowers. For example, "Research on the Names of Qin and Han", "A Collection of Famous Objects of Qin and Han", "Illustrated History of Children in Qin and Han", "Study on the Social Consciousness of Qin and Han", "Cultural Examination of Records of the Grand Historian", "Cultural Examination of the Qin and Han Slips in the Sleeping Tiger Land Qin and Han Swords, "A Commentary on the A-Grade of Snows of Qin and Han Swords", "Drafts on the History of Salt History of Qin and Han Traffic", "History of Qin and Han Traffic", "A Study on the History of Ethnic Minorities of Qin and Han and the Frontier History of Qin and Han Frontier History, "Research on the Management of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions", "Border and Ethnic Issues of Qin and Han" and so on.

"He has many works, more than ordinary people. With so many monographs, it is difficult for us to write even if we type. To use one word to describe Teacher Wang's academic path, it is "the wind blows the clouds". The writing speed is particularly fast. If you grasp a topic, you will leave many academic articles."Zhao Kai said.

" Professor Zijin placed the study of Qin and Han history in the broad perspective of ancient history. It not only connected the upper and lower levels, but also opened up the political, economic and cultural relationships, and had a wide range of knowledge. "Li Huarui said, "He always has a larger historical view, not to look at the history of the Qin and Han dynasties. During our communication, he often asked me some questions about the history of the Song Dynasty. He was not suddenly interested in asking questions, but started from the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties and observed these questions to , Sui and Tang , , how developed in the Song Dynasty, or cared about how the Sui and Tang people and Song people viewed the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. "

The prince has written an article titled "The King of Qin swept the six-way relationship, and the tiger looks at how powerful he is - On the Unified Achievement of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng." "The title of this long article comes from Li Bai's poem "The King of Qin swept the six-way relationship, and the tiger looks at how powerful he is! When you wave your sword and beat the clouds, the princes come to the west. I think the spirit expressed in the poem is also very consistent with Professor Zijin's academic style. "Zhao Kai said, "In the long run, Professor Zijin cannot be copied. We cannot do it according to his way of doing things. Because we don’t have his physique, his alcohol tolerance, and his experience. "

" His study was named 'Sweat Room', which not only made him a team-study educated youth and loading and unloading worker, but also expressed his desire to continue to work hard. In the recently published book "Sweat Room Reading", he emphasized that when doing knowledge, one should be sweaty and down-to-earth. "Sun Jiazhou said.

Scholars who are familiar with Wang Zijin know that his diligence in studying is beyond ordinary people.

went out to participate in academic activities. Wang Zijin's schedule was different: after the day's activity, others had fallen asleep peacefully, but he turned on the computer to write and went to bed very late. The next morning, he got up very early again. Because he had the habit of not having breakfast, he continued to lie in front of the computer and continued to lie in front of the computer to sink and sleep in the Soini and Wensi Yongquan.

In April 2013, Sun Jiazhou and Wang Zijin went to Russia to participate in an inspection activity. In order to save money as much as possible, the two of them lived together in the same room. Sun Jiazhou recorded the scene at that time in his diary:

"At 6:30 in the morning, he woke up naturally. Brother Zijin woke up earlier than me. He was afraid of affecting my rest and stayed in bed. When he saw me wake up, he greeted each other and exchanged some greetings, and he turned on the computer to write something. I also turned on the computer and started recording this life. Before I got into work, I took a photo of Mr. Zijin. Maybe I am the only photographer of his work photos when he is half naked. I admire his talent and diligence! "

" From ancient times to the present, there are actually two aspects of historical research: one is arbitrary study, that is, historical theory; the other is the merit of examination, that is, historical historical materials. To say a thousand words, it will ultimately be attributed to whether the research on historical materials is credible or not. "Li Huarui said that Wang Zijin's knowledge focuses on examining the truth of historical facts. He does not like the vast sky. Even when speaking at academic conferences, he does not make long-term comments. This is consistent with his style of history-doing more and less.

Peng Wei believes that Wang Zijin's academic process is in line with the national reform and opening up, and has the unique spiritual temperament of historical research in this era. "The history of our era has broken the conceptual shackles that do not conform to the laws of academic survival and development in theory and methodology, allowing innovative theories and methods to guide the continuous progress of research work; in the field of research, the long-lost social and cultural history has been revived in a comprehensive manner, and some new research topics such as environmental history, disaster history, disease history, gender history, children's history, etc. have entered the research field; in terms of research data, a large amount of new information has provided a solid foundation for research work, especially in ancient times when data is relatively scarce. Professor Zijin's academic achievements and contributions are a vivid microcosm and typical representative of the vigorous development of Chinese historiography research over the past 40 years. "

" I am not strong in my old age, so who can't help but feel sorry for Cenji Wozhaifang? The moss is spotted and the green leaves are covered with shade and cool. The breeze in the jade comes from afar, and the sun in the immortal family grows in quietness. But I look at the chariots and horses in the nine streets, and my hair is naturally faded."Wang Zijin has a bit of the same feeling about Ouyang Xiu's poem "Jingling Palace Zhizhai": "I am over 70 years old and I am gradually unable to follow my heart. I feel that time is not enough. I only focus on the state of tranquility and tranquility, read calmly, think calmly, and do what I can. ”
