Features: Author Hu Wu Gong is a renowned photographer, photographic theorist, and curator in China. This book, Yesterday, is one of his recent masterpieces. Yesterday tells the life stories of the people in the ancient region of Guanzhong, Shaanxi, primarily through a combination of images and text. It also includes the author's personal experiences and observations. As the author states in the opening: "My yesterday is the yesterday in my lens, and yesterday is an experience, a story, a sum of the past. Open a Chinese history textbook, and you open Guanzhong, enter Guanzhong, and immerse yourself in Guanzhong."
Hu Wu Gong, sensitive and perceptive, has dedicated many years to studying the evolution of rural life in Guanzhong. He has captured what can be considered historically significant farewell scenes, allowing readers to truly feel the current production and lifestyle of Guanzhong's folk culture, as well as the psychological state of the people living on this ancient land of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. His work undoubtedly provides reliable primary materials for future historians, folklorists, writers, and artists to understand the folk culture of Guanzhong during the transition between two centuries.
