Ce livre au titre intriguant n'est pas un traité de jardinage mais plutôt un manuel du savoir vivre avec élégance, détachement et quiétude. Ecrits au XVIIe siècle, ses aphorismes ciselés portent à un haut degré de raffinement une attitude exprimée avec force par les lettrés chinois de la fin des Ming : le mépris de toute ambition et contrainte sociale, ou l'art de revenir à la racine des choses pour mieux en goûter toutes les saveurs.
