Features: This book conducts ethnographic fieldwork in four villages in central Shandong from the perspective of art ethnology. Against the backdrop of the reconstruction and revival of rural traditions in China over the past two decades, the author attempts to explore the intrinsic laws of the form, preservation, and decline of rural art traditions in the village context by excavating collective memory, folk psychology, and behavioral narratives in family and village inheritance.
