Features: To meet the needs of a broad readership in China for understanding various countries, the Institute of Foreign Issues at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences invited relevant experts and scholars to compile a series titled "Foreign Customs Series." This series is a practical new book introducing foreign countries from the perspective of folklore and customs, covering topics such as foreign customs, traditional festivals, weddings and funerals, daily life, food and housing, ethnic religions, and related etiquette. Written in prose, the series is illustrated with images, combining knowledge and entertainment. It holds particularly high reference and practical value for readers interested in foreign affairs, scholars and staff engaged in cultural exchanges with relevant countries or regions, as well as those planning to travel abroad. The series is organized into volumes by country or region, with the first volumes on the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Switzerland already published. The remaining volumes are scheduled for release in the near future by the World Knowledge Publishing House.
