Only a benevolent person knows who is to be loved and who is to be rejected. A gentleman attaches priorities to principles;while a mean person, material gains. Never meddle in affairs that do not fall within your responsibilities. Administration cannot be effective if the government is not held in high regard among the people.
宋代的社会繁荣，为其文学艺术的发展提供了广阔的空间和有利条件。宋词成为和唐诗相提并论的中国古代文学的另一座高峰。宋代人填词成为时尚，“文人学子相聚，凡不能一道背育其诗词者，皆自惭形秽。”宋代大词人以苏轼、辛弃疾为代表的豪放派和李清照、柳永为代表的婉约派为著名。宋词韵律优美，意境幽远，意味深长，具有独特的魅力，甚至有人认为吟诵宋词或许可以使人灵秀。 宋代的画家对绘画艺术有了进一步的理解。宋代大文学家、画家苏轼（1037-1101）不仅留下了大量不朽的词作和画作，而且提出了“诗中有画、画中有诗”的主张，成为后来历代画家追求的境界。 本书精选部分宋词和宋画，并配以英文翻译，以期和更多不同语言文化背景的读者共享宋词与宋画之美。
