Features: A Chinese Folklore Chronicle of Ethnic Minorities is a high-quality documentary literary work that comprehensively, authentically, vividly, and dynamically recreates the customs and cultures of 55 ethnic minorities in China. It embodies the sweat and dedication of over 70 experts and scholars in China. Most of these experts and scholars have been engaged in ethnic minority studies for decades, and many are themselves elites of the ethnic groups they study. Therefore, calling this book a magnificent garden of ethnic flowers, a lively ethnic museum, and a brilliant cultural park of ethnic minorities is well-deserved. Many of the materials in the book carry the nature of "rescuing cultural heritage," belonging to non-renewable and hard-to-obtain resources, and are extremely precious. May this rare gem in the cultural park of A Chinese Folklore Chronicle of Ethnic Minorities be cherished by all. The book is primarily divided into three volumes—Upper, Middle, and Lower—covering approximately 1.2 million words in total.
