Features: This book is a collection of essays. Unlike others, the author was inspired to write it based on his collection of dozens of "pre-dynasty documents." These artifacts include Qing Dynasty land deeds, advertisements, pawn tickets, train schedules, Republican-era primary school textbooks, marriage certificates, notices, copyright transfer contracts, and fines, as well as Japanese puppet government identification cards and 1950s newspapers. Covering all aspects of social life, the book adopts a one-essay-one-image format, making it easy and intuitive to read while also holding certain collectible value.
