CORE DEFINITION

A collection of reading notes by Hong Mai of the Song Dynasty, recording scattered thoughts from reading—a classic example of the Chinese "card note-taking method." Its scaffolding role: record as you think, accumulate grains of sand into a tower. It does not pursue systematicity but accumulates wisdom through fragmented notes, ultimately achieving a substantial work.
