Features: "Myriad Aspects of the Republic Era" is not a rigorous historical work, not a detailed photographic reportage, not a chronicle with clear chronological order, nor a literary portrayal of personal sentiments. "Myriad Aspects of the Republic Era" might be a combination of these, a hodgepodge. It is a series of historical images of the Republic Era that we have captured for readers, hoping they will come alive in their eyes and hearts, allowing them to have a more vivid touch of the atmosphere of that time. For months, the dance craze has swept Shanghai. From Caoyadu in the west of Shanghai to the north, there are nearly dozens of dance halls. As far as you know, there are places like the Grand Hotel, Plantation, Carlton, Little Club, Paris Hotel, Juelu Dance Hall, Xinxin Dance Hall, Palladium Hotel, Anle Palace, Premier, Tavern, Yue Palace Hotel, Aiting, Long, Venus, Xianle Palace, Momoyama, Qingdao, Lerma, Legcabin, Eastern Cafe, and Lejipe (formerly Lodpe), numbering over twenty. Among them, DelMonte on Haiyu Road is particularly secluded, and currently under construction is the Peach Blossom Palace of Yipinxiang, which is expected to open soon. The Grand Hotel, with its new business strategy, will also set up a dance hall. Gu Wuyi, using the former site of his company, plans to open a dance hall with friends. The fashion life of the Republic Era, from clothing, hairstyles, carriages, and Western-style houses, broke free from the feudal era. The Western culture that entered China gave rise to an open and Western-oriented lifestyle, which still holds relevance for today's fashion life. This book portrays the fashion style of the Republic Era from the perspectives of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
