" Dream of Red Mansions ". People's Literature Publisher Publish
"Dream of Red Mansions"
If it is rated as one of the greatest novels in ancient China, I am afraid that few people will object. This masterpiece created by Cao Xueqin takes the love story of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai as the main line, and takes the family trivialities of the Jia family and leisurely things as the context. It portrays the decline of the four major families of Jia Shi, Wang and Xue, and reveals the end-of-day crisis of feudal society.
The reason why "Dream of Red Mansions" is great is that it creates a top-notch literary language. No matter who speaks, the corresponding characters will flash when the reader's mind is neutral. And its "all-inclusive" in diet, medicine, painting and other aspects can be called an "encyclopedia".
Monman said that it can allow you to read from eight to eighty, "There is the beauty of reading once and you will never get tired of it."
" A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy ". Peking University Press published
"A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy"
Philosophy involves many issues and is the eternal thinking of mankind. If you want to understand the ins and outs of Chinese philosophy and the essence of thought by just reading one book, this book is a good choice. Mengman called it "a model of masters writing small books."
It involves the origins of various schools of thought, telling the development context of schools such as Taoist , Confucian ... It restores the history of Chinese philosophy development with 200,000 words as much as possible. For today's readers, it is still a well-instructed cultural classic.
Why do everyone work hard to read more?
There are thousands of good books in the world, and it is obviously difficult to cover all of them with a list of books. However, reading seems like a small thing, but over time, it will affect a person's cultivation and feelings.
The books I read when I was young are the path to a new world; when I grow older, they become the accumulation of knowledge. It is better to read more good books: the first time "swallowing the whole thing", the second time to taste patiently...
reading is often compared to spiritual food. With its cultivation, the soul can become stronger with the body. (End)
