works appreciation

Six Chapters of a Floating Life is an autobiographical prose with high level and great influence, which occupies a very important position in the note literature of the Qing Dynasty. This book is characterized by its simplicity, frankness, expressiveness, informality and creativity. This creativity is first reflected in its subject matter and description object. In the book, the author narrates the joy of husband and wife's boudoir with a deep and direct style, and writes the sincere love between husband and wife.

In the history of China literature, there are many poems describing love, but most of them either write the erotic history of the court, or write the love tragedy under power, etiquette and arrogance, or write the lingering between confidante and boys and girls, rarely involving the feelings of husband and wife. The discerning Chen Yinque pointed out: "China literature dares not talk much about the relationship between men and women, especially the formal relationship between men and women, such as the relationship between husband and wife."

The feeling of building a boudoir, the family obsessed with the triviality of salt, is generally not listed in the chapter, but summarized in general. Since then, Shen's Six Chapters of a Floating Life and Song of the Boudoir have been created as exceptions. "
