I would like to bring you a list of books to "kill time".
I hope that book friends will use a large mouthful of watermelon and a few pages of books in the hot summer~

Reading & Writing
In 2024, 15 years have passed since Mr. Ji Xianlin passed away
In the past 15 years, many great things have happened in the world
These major events have stirred up layers of whirlpools
It reminds us all the time how rare it is to seek stability in this world
At the moment when the soul can't find an anchor point, when reopening Ji Lao's prose
only to find that a sense of security came to my face
This book "Reading and Writing" mainly contains Ji Lao's unique insights on reading and writing
His insights don't try to subvert your preconceived notions
It's eloquent, even with a bit of mischievous humor
For example, he said that reading Chen Yinke's book is like peeling bamboo shoots
Read layer after layer, so that you have to follow him
He said that writing prose must be "dismal in ingenuity"
In the dismal management, there are occasional magic pens, which are natural
is the highest level of prose
Ji Lao talks about reading and writing, it is indeed "the wise are happy, the benevolent are long, and the elderly do what they want"
Compared to the pile-up of flowery rhetoric
This kind of "freehand" prose that goes back to basics
It can also give us a sense of stability that we are out of the way and not frightened
Perhaps, this is the experience that only when you read famous works~
Nine Lectures on Confucian Self-cultivation
Self-cultivation is a homework that we can never finish in our lifetime
In an era where the pace of life is getting faster and faster
We are often disrupted by busy work
Receiving all kinds of disturbing messages all day long.
Numb and sober to feel
The vitality of life is withdrawn from the body
In the opinion of the author, Mr. Fang Zhaohui, this is caused by our failure to "cultivate self-cultivation".
And Confucianism is not always normative and dogmatic
It contains a lot of wisdom for self-cultivation
The author believes that self-cultivation is to dig out what is in line with our own nature and to fulfill our nature
Only in this way can "virtuous" be "gained"
The author combines his experience of more than 20 years of experience in teaching "Introduction to Confucian Classics" at Tsinghua University
Completed this book "Nine Lectures on Confucian Self-cultivation"
From the 9 aspects of keeping quiet, preservation, self-reflection, qualitative, governing the heart, prudence, respect, prudence, and sincerity
It describes the main areas of daily self-cultivation
Recommend it to everyone~
I hope that the friends can think about it and gain something~
"The Big Question"
Philosophy is often seen as an abstract and esoteric discipline
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with other specific disciplines – or even with our lives
In reality, philosophy is a discipline about thinking and cognition
Philosophy is all about trying to think
No matter what the object of our thinking is, we think about it all our lives, and it is impossible for us to stop thinking about it
The quality of our thinking is even a reflection of the weight of our lives to some extent
Philosophy, on the other hand, is different from ordinary thinking activities
It is not concerned with the "small problems" of appearances
Rather, it is an abstract "big problem"
Although philosophers tend to start from "small problems".
It will also exert the philosophical power of seeing small things
Only problems that are so thick and controversial that they are difficult to solve are the ones that really enter the philosophical horizon
For book lovers who love philosophy and thinking, I recommend this book "The Big Question: An Introduction to Concise Philosophy"
It constructs a bridge to the philosophical world
You can find in it almost all the "big problems" of the human world
About life, about love, about beauty, about truth, freedom, justice, morality......
Although it claims to be "concise", it is intended to be "primary"
But it's 400 pages thick and has a whopping 520,000 words
This shows the solidity and profundity of the philosophical system
But don't worry too much
This book contains a wealth of basic information and vivid examples
It's not boring, it's fun
It is a systematic cognitive philosophy, a masterpiece that has been passed down to three generations in one book~

Kyushu Tianxia: Chinese Culture and the Chinese
It's a loosely structured book
It's as loose as wisps of agarwood
What it's like to read this book
It's like Xu Zhuoyun, Ge Jianxiong, Ge Zhaoguang, Li Xueqin, Peng Lin, He Zhaowu, Feng Jicai, and Fan Heping 8 bigwigs chatting by the gazebo in the evening
And we're just a kitten lying next to us
I listened to them gossip without a ride
Listen to them talk about history and culture
From the origin of China, to the Chinese's view of the world
From the core of national culture, we talk about the impact of modern culture on traditional culture
From the cultural challenges we face, to the survival of modern people
In the loose chatter, a picture scroll about Chinese culture slowly unfolded~
We can glimpse it curiously, or savor it carefully
If you are happy to hear it, you can meow twice to express your happiness
In this way, until the middle of the moon, everyone returned happy
Although it is a casual conversation, the book is also very informative
Ethnicity, History, Geography, Culture, Archaeology, International Relations, Myths and Legends......
The form is scattered and the spirit is gathered
On the whole, it looks like a cultural SPA
Satisfied without feeling tired~
Highly recommended!
Reading and Drinking: A Book That Leads Us to Read
Books are an important carrier for human civilization to be passed on from generation to generation
For a lot of in-depth readers
Reading, like eating, sleeping, and breathing, is a natural thing
Reading doesn't even have a purpose, reading is an end in itself
Before opening the book
I never thought that "Dream of Red Mansions" would appear in a one-page catalog with "Existentialist Cafe".
The Book of Songs and Mathematics and Philosophy are far away
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be connected to "Nonviolent Communication"
……
But after reading the book
I understand that the book has left traces
The books I have read, no matter how large and disorganized
It's all stored in the depths of our spirits
Forming our own "Tao" about reading
"Reading and Drinking" is such a peculiar book
Its theme is communication and sharing
Focusing on 12 classic readings of ancient and modern Chinese and Western books, 5 guides dismantled and tasted with their own "Tao".
You can see the "distant similarities" that transcend the meaning of the book
Seemingly unrelated books
But it can arouse the same spiritual pleasure in the reader
As it declares itself: it is a book that leads us to a book
"Jiangsu Food Context"
When we taste the food
The main evaluation is its "color and fragrance"
There are very few books that elevate food to the level of "context".
Unlike cultural representations, the context is necessarily thick and long
It is the bones of a place and the coquettish of a thousand years
Therefore, the context cannot be taken lightly
However, this 16-page tome of 660,000 words can afford the name of "food context".
This book is a masterpiece at first glance
Even if you only look at the catalog, you can also know the exquisite idea of the author, Mr. Shao Wankuan
In the "first part", it starts from ancient times and ends in the Republic of China period
Wrote about the past and present life of Jiangsu food
In the "second part", according to the geographical features of Jiangsu, it is divided into four districts: Nanjing, Huaiyang, Suzhou, Xi, and Xuhai
It also describes all the ingredients of Jiangsu's rivers and lakes, plains and hills, sea, land and air animals and plants
The way of eating and drinking of the writer
Write about the food style of the salt merchants
From cultural heritage to global dissemination
From anecdotal writing to the innovation of the times
……
It completely subverts the superficial perception of Jiangsu cuisine
I was finally able to comprehend Mr. Wang Zengqi's narration of his hometown food
Why is that kind of affection sincere and full of nostalgia?
In short, this "Jiangsu Food Context"
It is worth savoring for every friend who loves life and food~!
I hope you can be in today's book list
Find a place to relax
Feel every inch of joy that reading brings us~
