Features: In the history of modern Chinese publishing, many books beneficial to society and the people have been published. The "Collection of Chinese Unusual Customs" compiled and published by Xiyuan Publishing House is undoubtedly such a series of national cultural books aimed at exploring, organizing, introducing, and accumulating outstanding traditional Chinese folk culture, promoting the cultural spirit of the Chinese nation, and building national cohesion. With the principle of "beneficial to society and the people" as its guide, it closely aligns with the real-life and spiritual needs of the broad readership, grasps the pulse of Chinese cultural development, continuously expands its subject matters, seeks innovation and depth, selects and edits with precision, and publishes one topic at a time. Through years of effort, it aims to become a brand in the Chinese publishing industry.
The name "Unusual Customs" signifies that it differs from general introductions in folk custom studies, as each book focuses on a single folk custom phenomenon, vividly describing it with engaging text and authentic images. The name "Library" reflects the intention to create an open space where scholars can gradually contribute their latest research findings, and readers can open windows through it: seeking examples for academic research, gaining insights for traveling in local customs, or finding references for decision-making when governing a region. Alternatively, readers can savor the unique ways of life of the people from the folk customs that have been passed down for millennia, enjoying moments of reading pleasure with ease.
