Features: From being nurtured in the womb to death, and even long after death, a person remains in the embrace of folk culture. Folk culture is like air, something people cannot live without. For the folk society, it serves as a bond of emotions, a symbol of mutual recognition, a standard for regulating behavior, a cement for maintaining group unity, and a cultural tradition passed down through generations. Chinese folk culture is a cultural tradition forged and inherited through the ages, embodying the character, spirit, truth, goodness, and beauty of the nation. It is a symbol of mutual recognition among the Chinese people and a bond for connecting their emotions. Today, we will showcase the excellent aspects and essence of folk culture to the broad masses, including our fellow peasants, so that they may develop a deeper sense of attachment, love, and reverence for the Chinese land, their fellow countrymen, the fine cultural traditions, and the sincere folk customs. This book is part of the "Chinese Folk Culture Series," introducing you to the origins, development, and meanings of the twelve zodiac signs, among other topics.
