《浮生六记》 沈复 著 林语堂 译 Six Chapters of a Floating Life Introduction Six Chapters of a Floating Life is an autobiography by Shen Fu (1763–1825) who lived in Changzhou (now known as Suzhou) during the Qing Dynasty. The four chapters are Wedded Bliss, 《闺房记乐》The Little Pleasures of Life, 《闲情记趣》Sorrow, 《坎坷记愁》and The Joys of Travel. 《浪游记快》Two further chapters are missing (or perhaps not completed): Experience,《中山记历》 and The Way of Life. 《养生记道》 The phrase Floating Life comes from the preface to a poem by the Tang poet Li Bai: ...The floating life is but as a dream; how much longer can we enjoy our happiness?
