Features: Thousands of years of agricultural civilization have nurtured the past and present of rural China. "Xiang" refers to hometown, and "tu" refers to the folk. Our homeland and soil are the native land and ancestral home. In the digital age, the world is in constant flux. Modern urban dwellers have left little trace of history. Old villages, ancient towns, dilapidated houses, faded family genealogies may evoke reflections on rural China. This series aims to introduce traditional regional cultures of China's folk traditions. Through the form of illustrated diaries, it spreads the essence of Chinese indigenous culture to the public and revives distant historical scenes. It also opens a museum of traditional culture and a historical archive of rural society for those who explore historical inheritance and reflect on cultural changes. It also serves as a call to protect our folk culture and cherish our history! Peitian Village in Liancheng County, Fujian Province, is one of the few well-preserved ancient villages in the present day, known as the "Glorious Hakka Manor." The authors have studied Fujian's rural culture for many years, and this book attempts to trace the historical trajectory of Peitian.
