Features: "Varying customs in five thousand miles, different practices in ten miles." China has a long history, vast territory, and a diverse population. Each region and ethnic group has unique customs, forming a spectacular and varied landscape. Regarding Chinese folk customs, there were no specialized records in ancient times, with only scattered mentions in local gazettes and classical texts. Particularly, the customs of ethnic minorities were largely unrecorded. However, ancient texts are extensive and not accessible to everyone; with so many ethnic groups, it is also impractical for everyone to conduct field research. Understanding Chinese folk customs is crucial, whether for daily life and social interactions or for comprehending national conditions and the people's customs, promoting cultural reform, and building socialist spiritual civilization.
