Ancient Chinese literati would mostly maintain a study to not only store,read,and write books,but also to rest their hearts and souls.Although the setting of studies is different nowadays,so are ways of reading,the passion and ideas triggered by studies remain the same.

Ancient people created a kind of“buffer zone”in studies where they could not only meditate alone but also communicate with visitors.More importantly,when they built and decorated studies,they conveyed their ambitions with brushes and ink.
