This book recreates the significant classics from Hong Kong's museum history. G. A. C. Herklots, a British resident of Hong Kong, documented the seasonal changes, diverse wildlife, and natural landscape of early years in his book, "Sui Shi Ji". Originally published in 1951, it served as a valuable resource for local scholars. Translator Mr. Peng Yuwen spent over a decade translating and enhancing the original work with his own research, photos, and insights. The republication of Herklots' work, along with the translator's efforts, creates a harmonious blend of past and present, prompting reflection on the relationship between humanity and nature. This important local natural writing should be treasured.

"Feixue Liantian She Bai Lu, Xiaoshu Shenxia Yi Biyuan" are two famous lines that are strung together from more than ten martial arts novels by Mr. Jin Yong, presenting a magnificent momentum. Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels can be called the "Chinese Cultural Garden", with everything from history, philosophy, religion, art, and food, among which religious connotations occupy a considerable amount of space. This book abandons the general way of writing about religion and extracts religious elements from Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, taking advantage of the topic to share Chinese religious knowledge with readers in a special form. It is definitely a unique Chinese religious book.
