A collection of essays gathered late in Zong Baihua's life, on Chinese painting, calligraphy, poetry and gardens, on space and rhythm, and on the meeting of Chinese and Western ideas of beauty. It wanders rather than argues, as its title promises, and its warmth and fine perceptions have made it a favourite way into Chinese aesthetics.
