Features: Revisit or tracking research as a proven research orientation and an academically valuable scholarly practice. Since the 1980s, it has been widely recognized and implemented by Chinese anthropologists. This book summarizes the anthropological revisits to 8 famous field sites in the 20th century, involving at least 9 pioneering anthropologists and 9 new scholars: Lin Yueh-Hwa (Lin Yuedehua), Zhuang Kongshao, Ruan Yunxing; Martin C. Yang (Yang Lianchun), Norma Damond, Pan Shouyong; Ge Xuepu, Zhou Dameng; Xu Liangguang, Zhang Huazhi, Duan Weijiu; Yang Qing, Sun Qingzhong; Porter, Qian Deqing; Manchurian Surveyors, Du Zhanqi, Lan Linyou. Revisits have paved the way for cross-temporal dialogues between new and old anthropologists, extending the academic life of the field sites.
