Features: "The Chinese Folk Customs Series" was a series of books published by our press in the late 1980s to early 1990s of the 20th century. Scholarly calligraphy and painting is a rare branch of art that thrived on special nourishment in the soil of feudal autocracy. Its rise and development caused the already divergent Chinese and Western cultural arts to take separate paths. If it reflects the thoughts, interests, and aesthetic views of ancient scholars and literati, it is more profoundly reflective of the lifestyle and customs of the feudal society that nurtured it, playing a very important role in shaping the national psychology and character. Since the publication of "The Chinese Folk Customs Series," it has received strong responses both at home and abroad. Since 1987, major national media such as People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, China Daily, Social Sciences in China, and Historical Research have published over 100 book reviews, recognizing this series as the first large-scale series in China to comprehensively and deeply study Chinese folk culture in the 20th century. It was also the first large-scale series in the country to scientifically and systematically discuss folk culture, filling a significant gap. Editing "The Chinese Folk Customs Series" aims to systematically and comprehensively introduce the formation, content, and characteristics of folk customs of all ethnic groups in China, both past and present, to readers at home and abroad. We hope this series will help readers understand the psychological characteristics of our nation through the diverse forms of Chinese folk customs, thereby further exploring the major topic of "Chinese Tradition and Modernization."
