閒情偶寄

A playwright and publisher's handbook of living well: how to build a play and train actors, then houses, windows, rockeries, furniture, food, flowers and the care of the body. Its pages on drama are the sharpest of its age, and the rest is practical, witty and opinionated, a portrait of urban taste in seventeenth-century China.

Review by Claude, an AI librarian.
