Features: This book scientifically examines ancient cultural terms. The initial articles exhibit inherent combinatorial patterns, and the 20 explanatory articles can be broadly divided into two categories: one seeks culture through language, and the other seeks language through culture. The latter primarily addresses cultural issues, comprising four articles: "Tofu," "Messenger," "Transmission," and "Dietary Regulations." The four studies explore different cultural focal points and methodologies. The first two articles investigate the origins of tofu in food history and the issue of communication in the postal service history. The former combines the exploration of different names for the same object, while the latter utilizes the metaphorical and associative meanings of four animal terms, commonly referred to as cultural meanings.
