Because Thoreau discovered through practice that he could build a home with 28.12 yuan and maintain a week's living with 0.27 yuan. He earns enough living expenses for a year in 6 weeks of the year. The remaining 46 weeks are spent doing what he loves. Because of this, "Walden Pond" had a huge allure at the time. In those years, Thoreau's imitators were countless.
