“处奇书”是古典文学的汉英对照本。统文化的出版物，这是例新颖的语读本。这个读本，仅向读者展了古典文学方迷的地，也为对文化有兴趣的英语读者供了个学习的园圃。读者可以由文而英文，也可以由英文而文。研习英文的读者，学习文的读者，都可以其获得阅读的趣。

《菜根谭》《窗幽记》和《围炉话》是明清期流来的本以修身养、劝善励志为话题的清言品集，作者别是洪应明、陈继儒和王彬。因其同类书出众的地位和响力，被誉为“处奇书”，颇受文墨客和普姓的喜爱。

夏文化的发展，每个历史期都有创的文学形态，并各领域登峰，为个的文化标记。明清两朝也例，前后个多纪，说显然是明清期的个主要文化，其次就是那些饱蕴着智慧才、展示着态风的辑录和承载着先学说和思想的格言品集了。过这些作品，我们可以清楚地了解到：优秀的文学家，是统文化的脊梁，他们那些形诸文字的与感结晶是文明有生命力的部。风依然能倡导并坚持孝悌，物欲横流依然能淡泊名，仕途得意依然能存忧患意识，遭遇测依然能泰然处之，家危亡依然能竭尽忠诚，温饱之余依然能忘劳作之苦，生活清贫依然能寄山水，凡此种种，都是这些优秀文留给后的宝贵财。

“处奇书”所收纳的短句品均为清言，风格相似，读起来朗朗，既有诗歌的韵律又有散文的流畅。这些编辑集、主题鲜明的短句品，是被柔化了的格言，似诗非诗，似文非文，是品文的种，形式是介于箴言警句和散文之间的文，常由前后对仗或排比的两句或两段组，以达到均衡与和谐之。由清言汇集而的书籍清言集或清言品集，有编和编两种，题材由，例松散，所收清言品数量则近则、多则数则等，每则品的篇幅则七八个字，多则逾。容涵盖古贤经典和民俗文化，其尤以演绎儒道释家之言为多，形式短致，文风飘逸清雅，具有“品的品（林语堂语）”的称。

“处奇书”的可贵之处于：位作者皆以其的学养、渊的知识、明敏的思辨、冷隽的文字、促深省的儆诫、益智的启迪，以及豁达如禅的觉醒，从古贤经典和民俗文化撷取菁但又简地复述这些原文，而是赋予它们定的景衬托后将其锻个个既养眼又养的段子，于寥寥隽语将经典所含的意旨优雅地展读者面前，充诠释了统文的文化底蕴和文怀，为展了幅古修身养的清晰图景，让读者诵读这些科律多了份愉悦感和亲近感。

年前，周文标先生民出版社出版发行《菜根谭》汉英对照本，我曾为他写过篇序。据我所知，余年来，他直懈地致力于用英文译和编撰统典籍，并呈方式了积的探索。这次他与花文艺出版社同推出“处奇书”汉英对照本，足见他这些年这方面所倾注的间和力。周文标先生是市作家协的员，我为我们作协有这么位孜孜倦向界推广统文化的同仁感到骄傲。衷祝贺他的“处奇书”汉英对照本功出版，这是明清品走向界的次积尝试。期待他有更多新著的将来问。

寒围炉，田家妇子之也。顾篝灯坐对，或默默然言，或嘻嘻然言非所宜言，皆所谓，将虚此良乎？余识字农也。岁晚务闲，家聚处，相与烧煨山芋，有所得，辄述诸，命儿辈缮写存之，题曰围炉话。但其皆随得随录，语次浅辞芜，多非信之论，以课家消耳，足为道也。倘蒙有道君子惠而正之，则甚。

王彬是个崇尚儒学的学者，修为奉行“立、立功、立言”朽理念，所著《围炉话》凡4则，为“处奇书”的部。该书儒家浓重，注重和调儒教所倡导的、更具生要义的耕读文化，对类似“竹林七贤”的玄学新风以及历朝历离群索居、遗独立的隐士派多有屑和针砭，个别篇幅甚至还有蔑和贬低道佛墨杨家的倾向，学术立场和意见可谓明。但是尽管如此，书及道、修身、读书、安贫道、教子、忠孝、勤俭等多方面的锦言佳句却丝毫未减作者的智慧和光芒，对当读者仍有颇多启迪。
