这是一部以城市为主题的唐诗选本。 唐朝疆域辽阔，即使是一些中小城市，也各具特色。有的屹立于茫茫戈壁滩上，傲然无畏地迎着风沙；有的雄踞于山川险要之处，如同坚不可摧的卫士……众多城市都有着自己深厚的历史积淀和丰盛的文化底蕴，这在当时的世界上是*的。 唐代的诗人和这些城市有着千丝万缕的联系。他们的诗作，可以说绝大部分都是以城市为主题，或者围绕着城市而作。城市，是唐诗的灵魂！这些诗歌也成就了许多地方和城市。这些诗，记录了一个城市的风貌和历史，也留下了诗人的人生轨迹和情怀。有些唐诗及其作者已经成为这些城市的名片和光荣，如杜甫之于成都，柳宗元之于柳州。唐诗走了城市，城市彰显了唐诗。 本书共选注唐朝250 余名诗人的诗作近1800 首，涉及唐朝城市300 余座，占唐朝城市总数约五分之一( 本书所说的城市，不仅是指城郭以内的市井风貌，还包括城市周边的山川景物、名胜古迹、风土人情等）。

无论是当年在北新建材做石膏板时的价格战，还是我在中国建材集团做水泥业务时的恶性竞争，以及做中国上市公司协会会长这几年目睹的不少行业的严重内卷，这些经历都让我对内卷有了更深刻的认识。内卷使得广大企业深受其害，行业乱象丛生，正常的市场秩序受到严重冲击，表面上是由产能过剩、同质化竞争造成的，本质上则是由企业战略的短视与对规模的盲目崇拜所致，这让众多企业热衷于市场的横向扩张和争夺，而非价值与技术的纵向深耕。 本书以问题为导向，构建了一个多维度、可落地的破局框架：从政策层面，借鉴国际产业政策经验，探讨供给侧结构性改革与需求侧管理的协同路径；从市场规范角度，解析反不正当竞争法、反垄断法的实践逻辑，倡导从恶性竞争转向竞合共赢；从行业生态维度，强调行业自律、行业协会的责任与大企业担当的重要性，提出企业家心力修炼的核心方向；从产业升级视角，注重以并购重组提高产业集中度、以“价本利”替代“量本利”的定价策略，为产业提质增效提供思路。同时，本书突出创新的核心价值，主张以差异化、细分化、高端化、品牌化开拓蓝海市场，并强调通过加强知识产权保护、建立全国统一大市场，为企业创新保驾护航。 本书延续以事讲理的风格，将观察思考与实践经验深度结合，为政府、行业、企业破解内卷困局、重塑健康竞争理念与规则提供了兼具前瞻性和实操性的建议，是理解和应对当下竞争困境的重要参考。
