Shan Hai Jing Anonymous
About the author: Anonymous
Content abstract: The Classic of Mountains and Seas is an ancient book of China, which introduces many mountains, rivers and countries in simple language. Its "age" is a mystery, and so is its author. Its content seems to be clear to later readers, but it has strong comparability and uncertainty. The Classic of Mountains and Seas consists of 18 volumes. The first five volumes are Nanshan Classic, Xishan Classic, Beishan Classic, Dongshan Classic and Zhongshan Classic, which are collectively called Wuzang Mountain Classic. Each Buddhist sutra is divided into several groups. For example, the first group of Nanshan Jing is called Nanshan Jing, the second group is called Nanci Erjing, and so on, with Zhongshan Jing to Zhongci Twelve Jing being the most.
Highlight: As one of the oldest extant books, Shan Hai Jing, with its unique narrative style with pictures and texts, pioneered the tradition of compiling books in ancient China. It is like a mine of knowledge, which contains many valuable knowledge such as history, geography, literature, medicine, religion, folk customs, painting art, myths and legends, anecdotes, essays and so on.

Content abstract: Walden Lake is an excellent book. Serious pollution makes people lose the tranquility of the countryside, so Thoreau's works are read and missed by the whole world. The language is amazing, and the words are flashing, which makes people feel the same and moves my heart. In the dead of night, when all is silent, this book is not obscure, clear and bottomless, and people can't help but be fascinated by it.

Russell, History of Western Philosophy

Content abstract: This book tells the development history of western philosophy in the interaction and close connection between philosophy and social life, rather than simply talking about the development of western philosophy itself, pure philosophical concepts or philosophical problems. Russell believes that philosophy is a part of social and political life, and the philosopher's theory is not the result of individual isolated thinking. The past social environment and various philosophical theories have a great influence on the emergence of a philosophical theory.

It is not an isolated thinking made by outstanding individuals, but the product and reason of various social personalities prevailing in various systems". Reading this book can not only have a general understanding of the major western philosophers and their thoughts, but also understand some important events, figures, development stages and their relationship with specific philosophy in western history.
