Yu Shicun, a contemporary scholar of "Hai Hai", interpreted the classical poem "Ji Hai Miscellaneous Poetry" in vernacular. Through delicate feelings and portrayals, he restored the experiences, moods, and difficulties of Gong Zizhen, as well as the enlightenment and thoughts arising from it.
After a lapse of 180 years, this book is like a condensed cross-space conversation between the two authors, with past, present, and future. We see our shadow, or contrast, or introspection, or use for reference, or resonance, so as to gain the power of life and soul.

"Hai Hai" Introduction
In 1839 (the Lunar New Year), Gong Zizhen, a civil servant of the Qing Dynasty, resigned from public office, left the capital Beijing, went south and returned to his hometown, and then went north to take his family back to his hometown. During this time, he walked nine thousand miles and talked about two loves. At the dinner, 315 poems were written. This is the rare large-scale group poem "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" in the history of Chinese literature.
In 2019 (Year of the Lunar New Year), contemporary scholar Yu Shicun used the elegant and chic modern Chinese to incarnate Gong Zizhen's lyrical monologue. Through the poetic interpretation of "Mihai Poetry of Jihai", he spliced and re-engraved the soul of Gong Zizhen during the Jihai year The map contains Yu Shicun's comprehensive research and profound understanding of Gong Zizhen, as well as Yu Shicun's own perception and passion for the hearts of the world.
Gong Zizhen's classical poems and Yu Shicun's vernacular interpretation were specially designed to converge on the same page, as if two minds were talking through the knees of 180 years. From this long-time spiritual biography, the interested readers can clearly see how Gong Zizhen, who has mastered the success of traditional culture, reconciled with the world and himself under the most difficult conditions; how contemporary scholar Yu Shicun adopted Gong Zizhen And the traditional cultural spirit represented by it, seeing the nature clearly, out of the predicament of greasy middle-aged.
