Features: Along the Lixiang River, in the villages and communities inhabited by Zhuang, Han, Hui, and other ethnic groups, there is a profound aesthetic cultural heritage. The local people, consciously or unconsciously, practice the humanistic construction of "harmony between heaven and man." It is this aesthetic creation within the perspective of "small traditions" that reveals the intrinsic charm of Lixiang civilization. Based on extensive field research, this book deeply elaborates on the latent value of Lixiang civilization, providing empirical material that inspires reflection and offers insights into understanding the (harmony between heaven and man) of Eastern ethnic groups.
