"Little Window's Secret" is a popular reading book by Chen Jiru in the Ming Dynasty. It is called "the three great books on life" together with Hong Yingming's "Cai Gen Tan" and Wang Yongbin's "Wailu Night Talk".

This is a book that records famous sayings. All the sentences have their sources, but when they are gathered together, they form a book of their own; the whole book is divided into twelve chapters such as "Xing, Qing, Qiao (qiào)".

It mainly expresses the inner world and spiritual pursuit of being indifferent to fame and wealth, being tranquil and far-reaching, and transcending worldliness.
