The SanWei Bookstore's Kitty Canteen: Difference between revisions

The origin of the name is from the saying "Three Tastes" (三味) by ancient Chinese scholars in regards to their opinion towards reading books. The saying is as follows;<blockquote>''<big>"读经味如稻粱，读史味如肴馔，读诸子百家味如醯醢。"</big>''

''"读四书五经之类味如吃米面，是食之本；读史记味如喝美酒吃佳肴：读诸子百家之类的书，味如酱醋（好比烹调中的佐料一样）。"''

''"To read the Four Books and Five Classics<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Books_and_Five_Classics</ref> is as if you're eating the rice or the noodles of the meal, they are the central to the experience; To read the Records of the Grand Historian<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Records_of_the_Grand_Historian</ref> is as if you're sipping the delicate wine or eating the most expensive dish of the meal; To read the Hundred Schools of Thought<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Schools_of_Thought</ref> is as if you're tasting the soy sauce or the vinegar, as in the seasoning of the meal"''
