Summary:
"Dajia Xiaoshu" (Masterpieces in Miniature) is a distinguished series of compact books. The term "Dajia" (Masters) implies two things: the works are penned by eminent figures, and they are written for the general public. "Xiaoshu" (Small Books) refers to their handy format and concise length; Musings on Journey to the West is an excellent example of this genre. Lin Geng (courtesy name Jingxi) was a renowned contemporary poet and scholar. Originally from Minhou, Fujian, he was born in Beijing in February 1910 and graduated from Tsinghua University in 1933. He served as a professor at Xiamen University, Yenching University, and Peking University, and was a council member of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles. His published works include collections of modern poetry such as Night and Spring Fields and Windows, as well as scholarly monographs on classical literature, including The Poet Li Bai, On Annotations, A Comprehensive Study of Tang Poetry, and A Brief History of Chinese Literature.
