As a way of understanding the world,private perception and imagination about geography reflect people's observation and adaptation to specific regional environments.In terms of man-land relationship,this kind of expression and writing,based on instinctive perception,emotional experience,cultural imagination and reality situation,is a great supplement to the general macro-history writing.Qianshu and Xuqianshu,a note-style chorography by individuals,are devoted to the record of the natural conditions and folk customs,while the whole texts are permeated with the authors'embodied emotion and heterogeneous cultural imagination,making the geographical interpretation be a kind of chance to express personal opinions about the particular history and geography.From the perspective of environment,perception and imagination,the two books provide an approach to show the emotional link and knowledge generation in the interaction between human and place.
