Eight or nine woven bags contain 200 to 300 books and 200 to 300 calligraphy magazines and calligraphy series magazines accumulated for 20 to 20 years, which have been sold as waste before. What I keep now are my favorite books, all carefully selected and worthy of collection, as well as scanned copies of several out-of-print books that have no collection value but are worth reading. My books are all about literature, writing, philosophy, aesthetics, calligraphy, exegetics, bibliography, philology, literary theory, China's ancient cultural history, reading methods, poetry and prose, fund investment and so on, all of which are my own.
? It is also a pleasure to read your own books in your spare time, so that you can forget your fatigue and troubles and get spiritual pleasure.
In fact, it is really helpless to get rid of some of my books. Objectively speaking, my home is very small, and it does take up space. I want to get rid of those books that are not particularly needed after repeated selection and comparison, and also make room for myself to buy new books.
The collection of books is not once and for all. After the precipitation of time and the development of personal interests, some books may not be suitable for re-collection. Therefore, we should make some choices, keep the good books we really need and eliminate the ones we no longer need.
