The content of this book is divided into the following aspects:
1. Tracing back to the history of foot binding: 2. Methods and research of foot binding; 3. The woman who binds her feet tells her own experiences and experiences; 4. Many anecdotes related to foot binding; 5. Laws against and prohibiting foot binding; 6. Methods and precautions for foot binding; 7. Introduction of poems and songs related to foot binding and related novels, dramas and folk stories; 8. Evolution of embroidered shoes (bow shoes); 9. Aesthetic theory and appreciation of Jin Ping Mei.
It can be said that "Caifeilu" shows the true face of the custom of foot-binding in those days through the above nine aspects. This is a feat of collecting and preserving these precious historical materials when the custom of foot binding is about to disappear. If no one had done this work at that time, there would have been a thousand-year gap in the part of Chinese folk history about the three-inch golden lotus, and future generations would not be able to correctly understand this history, and the loss would be immeasurable.
In fact, in 1997, Shanghai Bookstore Press selected some articles from the first four volumes of Cai Feilu. Because the content is too small, only more than 60 thousand words, it is called "abridged edition", which can not meet the needs of research and collection.
Now compare the difference between the original version and the abridged version: (1) As mentioned earlier, the original version has more than one million words, while the abridged version only has more than 60,000 words. (2) Differences in content: The original book contains nine aspects (as mentioned above), while the abridged version only contains one, three and five aspects. Therefore, the reflecting surface is relatively narrow. (3) Differences in specific contents: Anyone who has read Cai Fei's original works will know that the selected contents have been abridged again in the abridged version. For example, the article about Lian dialect has 52 chapters in the original, while the abridged version only has 18 chapters. How can the original be maintained by abridging nearly two thirds? (4) The original text contains more than 200 illustrations, and the abridged version has no pictures.
To sum up, the abridged edition is just a collection of works serving the narrow anti-foot-binding consciousness. Because of this, many valuable contents are not involved at all. Therefore, The Compendium is very one-sided, out of context, far away from the initial objective facts and misleading readers, so it has no value, neither historical value nor academic value. In fact, the objective and fair research on the folk custom of foot binding is far from over, or just beginning. How to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of foot-binding for more than 1000 years and its influence on our social life today is far from being clear in one or two sentences. It is wrong, arbitrary and unscientific to jump to conclusions without thinking.

Third, the main content of Xiaopo's Birthday This book is a long fairy tale created by Mr. Lao She. The work takes Xiaopo, a boy living in Nanyang, and his sister as the protagonists, and tells an interesting story between Xiaopo and a group of monkeys. The second half of the story is entirely Xiaopo's dream, but it also implies the author's ridicule of Nanyang's various practical disadvantages.
Mr. Lao She said in the article "How do I Write Xiaopo's Birthday": "I wish I could write one or two more such books. Writing such a book makes me feel young and happy; I want to be a "child's head" forever. I have no respect for everything in the past; Nothing in history is more valuable than the passage we are creating.
I love children, they are light, they are a new page in history, printed with things we don't know-we can only watch them there, but that's enough, and there is hope. "。
4. Which empire was written in Herodotus' history? The book History is also called History of Persian War because it describes the Persian War in Greece. It was not divided into volumes at first. Later, the proofreader of Alexandria divided it into nine volumes and named it Muse, so the history book was also called Muse Book.
The history of the book can be divided into two parts: the first part, from the first volume to the fifth volume, section 27, mainly describes the rise of the Persian Empire and the historical background of the Greek-Persian War; Section 28 of the fifth volume is the second part, which focuses on the process of the Greek-Persian war. Herodotus did not blindly follow legends in his creation, but explained the cause and effect of historical events while recording history, creating a unique way to describe history.
? στορ? The word α ι originally meant "investigation" and "exploration". Due to the influence of this work, Cicero, a Roman speaker, rated him as "the father of history". However, many historians and philosophers doubt the authenticity of Herodotus' records and call him "the father of lies" or "a liar". However, recent archaeological achievements have confirmed that most of the history recorded by Herodotus is accurate. In many uncertain situations, Herodotus will refer to the most authoritative historical records of various places or events, and then express his own opinions to distinguish the authenticity and give explanations.
