Features: This book aims to introduce China's traditional regional culture, spreading the essence of Chinese local culture to the public in the form of illustrated records, reviving the distant historical scenes. It opens up a museum of traditional culture and a history bookcase for those who explore historical inheritance and reflect on cultural changes. It also calls for protecting our folk culture and cherishing our history! The folk customs and culture of Huizhou cannot be represented by just an old house. It is vibrant, just like the paths once walked by Huizhou merchants across the Yangtze and Huai Rivers. In the relentless rotation of years, it has outputted Huizhou devotion, erected chastity arches, brought back the fame of "Hometown of Ministers," and also left countless mansions and wealthy families. The solidity of Huizhou is also like the bare flagpoles standing silently before the dilapidated ancestral halls today, swaying in the winds from all directions. The ordinary families in the long streets and narrow lanes still preserve the elegance of their ancestors, and the sound of children reading aloud echoes endlessly.
