Features: Taking unified action nationwide, this initiative conducts emergency surveys on folk customs through real-life inheritance and remnants, documenting local folk culture records for all counties and districts. This is the first time such an endeavor has been undertaken in history. Based on a concrete understanding of the relationship between folk customs and local life, writing new-style local folk culture records that reflect cultural awareness in times of profound cultural transformation is an unforgettable spiritual journey. The unified writing format of this record book is called "Landmark Culture-Guided Folk Culture Records," designed to highlight the distinctive features of local folk customs, reveal the characteristics of local culture, and understand the expressive habits of local folk customs. It is hoped that this grand-scale record book will help preserve and nurture the cultural roots upon which the Chinese nation has thrived.
