Features: Daily life is connected by a cultural vein to the past, present, and future. It is like an unbroken flow of life, spanning from ancient times to the present while merging with the gentle streams of other ethnic groups, ultimately forming a vast river of human survival history and evolution. Although daily life has a relative stability in certain historical stages, from the overall evolutionary process of human history, it is slowly flowing. Each individual within the daily life world can deeply perceive its pulse rhythm. Therefore, we are always trying to understand and grasp the true essence of daily life, exploring its ever-renewing evolutionary journey from ancient times to the present. An important purpose of understanding the essence of daily life is to transform the daily life world beyond traditional models into a home and harbor of meaning for humanity. All of this is the vague intention of our critical research on daily life, and it will ultimately become our relentless pursuit.
