The book brings together articles from the pre-Qin period to the Song Dynasty, which were selected by Jin Shengtan, a literary critic in the early Qing Dynasty. The word used most frequently by Jin Shengtan translates as 'wonderful', and this sentiment informed the design of the book. The type and colour palettes were chosen to create a relaxed and pleasant experience for the modern reader.
