Features: In recent years, more and more historians have shifted their focus from emperors, generals, and their political achievements to the daily lives of ordinary people. At the same time, with the rapid development of modern technology, map-making and photography have become increasingly accessible, and people today are increasingly fond of illustrated books. Reading habits have changed significantly. Against this backdrop, it would be meaningful to publish a book with numerous illustrations to vividly depict how the people and families of China have conducted rituals such as coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and ancestral rites over thousands of years. This would allow contemporary readers to gain a renewed understanding of traditional Chinese family rituals and enable them to evaluate them objectively.
