1. The series is titled "Old Trails in Ancient Cities," and all the selected texts originate from newspapers and books published from the early 20th century to the late 1940s. To preserve the original era's character, this publication retains the original text unchanged, except for correcting typographical errors, without adhering to current Chinese language norms.
2. Due to the age of the old publications, some characters are illegible and are marked with [□].
3. Some works in this series are still under copyright protection. During the editing process, we have made every effort to contact the authors or their families to obtain authorization. However, there are still a small number of authors whose identities are unclear and cannot be contacted. We kindly request these authors or their families to contact the publisher upon receiving the book so that sample copies and royalties can be sent promptly.
This is a water village floating on the Bian Lake. The vernacular prose is interwoven with classical and colloquial language, as remnants of the old era's elaborate writing style clash with the modern, leisurely lifestyle that greets the senses. These scattered fragments of old-time, linked together by the wandering words of the traveler, present a Jiangnan society vastly different from others.
