Features: Revisit or tracking research as an effective research orientation and an academically valuable scholarly practice path. Since the 1980s, it has been widely recognized and implemented by Chinese anthropologists. This book summarizes anthropological revisits to 8 famous field sites in the 20th century, involving at least 9 pioneering anthropologists and 9 new ones: Lin Yueh-Hwa (Lin Yuhua)-Zhuang Kongshao, Ruan Yunxing: Yang Lianchun (Martin C. Yang)-Dai Naoma (Norma Damond), Pan Shouyong: Ge Xuepu-Zhou Damiong: Xu Liangguang-Zhang Huazhi, Duan Weijiu: Yang Qing-Sun Qingzhong: Porter-Tan Deqing: Manchurian Surveyors, Du Zanqi-Lan Linyou. Revisits have paved the way for cross-temporal dialogues between new and old anthropologists, extending the academic life of the field sites.
