Night Sailing 

Night Sailing is a comprehensive and interesting encyclopedia of ancient culture. From astronomy and geography to human behavior, from the evolution of laws and regulations to unofficial anecdotes, from the three religions and the nine schools of thought to exotic customs, and even plants, birds and animals, antiques and rare treasures, this book is almost all inclusive. It shows us the knowledge picture and the vast world in the eyes of ancient literati. It is no wonder that Zhang Dai once lamented that knowledge is the most difficult thing to deal with in the world of knowledge!
