Features: Book etiquette is a model for writing letters. Historical records of book etiquette before the Five Dynasties have been largely lost. Over 100 manuscripts of book etiquette from the Tang and Five Dynasties periods were discovered in the Dunhuang cave library in 1900, many of which are precious materials not found in traditional literature. This book conducts comprehensive and case-specific research on the types, origins, and evolution of Tang and Five Dynasties book etiquette based on these firsthand materials. It also explores specialized topics such as the relationship between Tang and Five Dynasties book etiquette and Sino-Japanese cultural ties, as well as the social life issues reflected in the book etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
