Based on a concrete understanding of the relationship between folk customs and local life, writing new-style local folk culture compendia that reflect cultural consciousness in times of profound cultural transformation is an unforgettable spiritual journey. The unified writing model of this compendium is called "Landmark Culture-Guided Folk Culture Compendium," designed to highlight the distinctive features of local folk culture, reveal the characteristics of local culture, and understand the expressive habits of local folk culture.
