And the saying that Shanghai is called &”;the magic capital&”; comes from Muramatsu&;s pen. In 1923, Muramatsu came to Shanghai. As a writer who &”;writes with his feet&”;, Muramatsu&;s trip was to find new writing materials, and of course he was influenced by Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Akutagawa made a three-month visit to China in 1921. Aft《上海游记》 and other travel notes in the newspaper, which made many Japanese people know about Shanghai, and Muramatsu was one of them.

He also met Zhu Fuchang, a &”;young gentleman&”;, and under the guidance of Zhu Fuchang, Muramatsu traveled all over Shanghai. In his works, restaurants, teahouses and theaters in Shanghai are all mentioned, and they are described very vividly and interestingly.
