Features: For thousands of years, agricultural civilization has nurtured the past and present of the rural China. "Xiang" means hometown, and "tu" means the common folk. Our hometown and land are the native soil and ancestral home. In today's digital age, the world is in constant flux. For modern urban dwellers, the traces left by history are almost indelible. Old villages, ancient towns, dilapidated houses, ruined shrines, and yellowed family chronicles may evoke reflections on rural China. This series aims to introduce China's traditional regional culture among the people, spreading the essence of indigenous Chinese culture through illustrated notes, reviving ancient historical scenes. It opens a museum of traditional culture and an archive of rural society for those who explore historical heritage and reflect on cultural changes. It also calls for the protection of our folk culture and the cherishing of our history!
