Features: Lingnan culture is a distinctive, vibrant, and colorful regional culture within the Chinese nation's cultural landscape. Its development and utilization have garnered societal attention. While the exploration, organization, and research of the rich connotations of Lingnan culture have already been carried out in the "Lingnan Treasury," its positioning is at an academic level, lacking a popularization function. Moreover, due to limitations in editorial policy and format, it cannot encompass some specific and nuanced aspects of Lingnan culture. To establish Guangdong as a cultural powerhouse, it is essential for the general public to first gain an understanding of the region's cultural heritage. Therefore, it is necessary to publish a series of popular readers to fulfill this task. The original intention behind publishing the "Lingnan Culture Knowledge Series" stems from this need. Thus, the "Lingnan Culture Knowledge Series" can be regarded as a supplement and extension of the "Lingnan Treasury." The series adopts the form of popular literature, with diverse topics and broad coverage, striving for concise language, illustrations, and blending knowledge with readability, making it a beloved knowledge series for the public.
Guangzhou Ancient Port is one of China's four ancient maritime ports and has remained prosperous throughout history. This book, in the form of popular literature, features a wide range of topics and broad coverage, with concise language, illustrations, and a balance of knowledge and readability, allowing readers to appreciate the charm of ancient Guangzhou's maritime port and Lingnan culture.
