After fleeing Kaifeng when it fell to invaders in 1126, Meng captured his memories of the Northern Song capital's vanished splendor. His nostalgic account vividly depicts urban life, seasonal festivals, street performers, restaurants, and over one hundred dishes. This detailed portrait of everyday pleasures—from moonlit nights to skilled waiters—became an authoritative vision of affluent Chinese culture, though it carries an ironic undertone: the author awakened from his dream into a world of shambles.
