Stylistically speaking, the most striking feature of Lin Yutang's prose is leisure humor. Lin Yutang was the first person to use the word "humor" in the history of modern literature in China. In the 1920s, he actively advocated "humor", but not many people responded. After the publication of The Analects of Confucius in 1930s, he re-emphasized "humor" and devoted himself to creating humorous and leisurely prose. This time, it has been echoed by many people. At first, he just regarded "humor" as a language style. Later, he understood "humor" as "a state of mind, and then an outlook on life." Lin Yutang's so-called "humor" is not a vulgar joke, but wisdom in humor and dignity in free and easy.
Lin Yutang's prose often looks at the world with a detached and carefree attitude, and praises beautiful writing with plain words. This has formed a harmonious "leisure style", such as "private talk". The language of Lin Yutang's prose is eclectic and varied, such as the formulaic language of old official documents and popular political slogans, which can be seen in his prose. This actually reflects Mr. Lin Yutang's literary language view.
This book contains a large number of treasures of Lin's prose.
