Features: Taking unified action nationwide, this project conducts emergency surveys on folk customs through real-life heritage and remnants, documenting local folk cultural records at the county and district levels for the first time in history. Based on a concrete understanding of the relationship between folk customs and local life, it writes new-style local folk cultural records that reflect cultural consciousness in times of profound cultural transformation—a deeply moving spiritual journey. The unified writing model of this record book is called "Landmark Culture-led Folk Custom 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 on which the Chinese nation has thrived.
