Features: This book aims to introduce China's traditional regional culture to the public through a combination of text and images, spreading the essence of Chinese local culture and reviving the long-lost historical scenes. It opens up a museum of traditional culture and a historical archive of rural society for those who explore historical heritage and reflect on cultural changes. It also serves as a call to protect our folk culture and cherish our history! The folk customs and culture of Huizhou cannot be represented by just an old house. It is vibrant, much like the paths once walked by Huizhou merchants across the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. Over the years, it has outputted Huizhou's devotion, erected memorial arches for chastity, and brought back the fame of being the "hometown of prime ministers." It also includes countless mansions and wealthy families. The petrified Huizhou is like the bare flagpoles standing silently in the wind before dilapidated ancestral halls today. In the long streets and narrow lanes, ordinary families still preserve the elegance of their ancestors, and the sound of children's reading can be heard echoing endlessly.
