I think it is the best book for foreigners to know Chinese feudal society which has occupied a long time in Chinese history. On the other hand, there are lots of classic poems and writting skills involved in this book, it will be helpful for those ones who would like to explore the broad Chinese culture. dear friends, how do you think about this book? Looking forward to knowing your ideas!
