I recommend several natural life books that are suitable for reading during breaks.

These books have rich and beautiful illustrations, and the text is concise and elegant, making them easy and pleasant to read, and feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

They are: "Life in the Mountains of Kyoto", "Insects in the Wild", "My Little French Meal", "The Secret of Fruit", "Entry-Level Watercolor Illustration·Plant Flowers", "Japanese Traditional Colors", "Sugar Reduction"

Life" and "Dried flower arrangements that make the room more beautiful".

These books explain ways to integrate nature into life from different aspects, integrating natural history knowledge, action guidance and creative inspiration.

I have practiced many methods and gained enjoyment of beauty and peace of mind from them.

I will briefly introduce the reasons for my recommendation, and also provide some introductory suggestions based on my own practice, which can quickly add color to life and open a broad door to nature without having to go to great lengths.

If you are interested in a certain field, you can refer to the action guide to get started as soon as possible and start your own journey of exploration.

It is not recommended to seek perfection and blame, after all, our energy is limited.

However, no matter what, please find a way to connect with nature, because nature is the only pure land where our souls can rest safely.

This is a collection of essays on life in the mountains.

A collection of essays on insects.

The author is an insect enthusiast and writer.

This book records the author's experience and philosophical insights of observing and photographing insects, and is located in Yunnan.

The first half is prose, and the second half is photos and time records.

The author explains the title of the book in this way. Being in the wild is a gesture, an escape, and an escape from the box.

This posture allows me to abandon the entangled ego at once, immerse myself in nature, and become one with nature. When I look at flowers, I become a flower, and when I look at insects, I become an insect. It seems that the world has become smaller, and my mind has become more open.

, all worries are blown away by the mountain breeze.

Observing insects is not simply about satisfying curiosity. It is completely different from boys catching bugs to scare their female classmates, or catching crickets for competitions.

It is looking at nature with a humble, pure and aesthetic eye.

Let go of your own frame and arrogance, integrate into it, and feel the vastness and beauty of the world.

I was surprised by the charm of a fly, it gave me a different aesthetic.

It crawls out of the dung heap, flies around annoyingly, buzzes and chases dirty and smelly things... However, it will also stop on the banana leaf after the rain, letting a person

Suddenly I realized: Can we filter out our prejudices when looking at the world? Simply observing it and discovering the unusually beautiful plants besides its dirty smell means getting along with these little elves.

When faced with pests such as aphids and red spider mites, you want to drive them away.

It's great to see bees, lacewings, and ladybugs (meat-eating) waiting.

However, only by breaking away from the perspective of pragmatism and anthropocentrism can you see their true appearance. Like humans, they are the miraculous creations of nature and are miraculous existences.

1. When raising a pot of plants, it must be grown in the open air.

Go and observe it morning and night, and maybe you will find some magical little creatures coming uninvited.

2. If possible, equip yourself with a macro camera and you will be amazed by the amazing structures of insects.

Or buy a macro lens for your phone, even better if the phone itself is great.

You will find that your home is really more than just you.

3. Write a nature observation diary and observe a plant.
