Features: The Yellow River and Yangtze River, nourishing the vast land of our motherland, are like the milk of a mother, giving birth to the splendid and brilliant Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, the people of various ethnic groups in China have multiplied, lived, labored, and created in this glorious and ancient nation. The various customs and habits gradually formed in the process of production and daily life embody the pursuit and aspirations of the people of past generations for good things, inspiring their love for life, and representing the level of civilization and education of the Chinese nation. The flower lanterns of the fifteenth day, the zongzi of the Dragon Boat Festival, the graceful dance of the Changshan Yi, the pipa and drum players of the lower-class people, the ornate pavilions and towers, the winding paths of the scenic gardens, the exquisite calligraphy and painting, and the splendid folk arts—moreover, the virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young, the demeanor of modesty and yielding, the custom of sacrificing one's life for justice, and the tradition of loyalty to the country. They are like flowers on brocade, making the scroll of Chinese history so rich and vibrant; they are also like colorful ribbons, adorning the life of our nation with splendor and beauty. They make us proud and proud, encouraging us to strive forward and move forward continuously.

We hope that this series of books will help readers grasp the psychological characteristics of our nation through the diverse forms of Chinese customs, thereby further studying the important topic of "Chinese Traditional Culture and Modernization."
