"The Art of Living" was created in the 1930s. Since its publication, it has been reprinted more than 40 times and translated into many languages. The author uses brisk writing styles to show the leisure and elegance of the Chinese people, and perfectly presents the romance and elegance of life. In front of the art of living, we see the leisurely mood that is most lacking in modern fast-paced life and is also what we desire most. This kind of classical elegance and calmness is a realistic expression of the romantic feelings deep in the Chinese people's bones. Traveling through the dust of history, how do Chinese people who are burdened with too much maintain this kind of open-mindedness in their busy lives? How do they maintain and continue this agile temperament? A leisurely life is a philosophy of life full of wisdom, and it is the life attitude we need most in our modern busy life.
