Features: The source material for this book is collected by the author from social and historical remnants since modern times, along with their forms of expression. It is a comprehensive compilation of the author's personal experiences, observations, investigations, surveys, and recollections, some of which were even personally practiced. It can be said that most of the content is derived from grassroots records. Relevant literature and reference materials are used only for reference and verification, while efforts are made to gather written materials with "documentary value" for corroboration. Therefore, this book also has the characteristic of extensively collecting materials. The content of this book is sourced from the grassroots, and there are many local dialects, colloquialisms, and archaic characters. Since they are unique to the local area, it is difficult to replace them with corresponding standardized terms. Some named objects and phenomena also have local characteristics. To facilitate readers' understanding, the book provides detailed descriptions of details or processes, even to the point of being meticulous, in order to reflect the lives, production, and spiritual outlook reflected by folk customs.
