Features: This book aims to introduce the traditional regional culture of China's folk traditions, presenting the essence of Chinese indigenous culture in the form of illustrated notes to the general public, reviving the distant historical scenes. It opens up a museum of traditional culture and a historical archive of the rural society for those who explore historical inheritance and reflect on cultural changes. It also calls for: protecting our folk culture and cherishing our history! The folk customs and culture of Huizhou cannot be represented by just an old house. It is vibrant, just like the paths walked by Huizhou merchants across the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers in the past. In year after year of circulation, it has outputted the worship of Huizhou, erected moral tablets, and brought back the fame of "the hometown of prime ministers." There are also countless mansions and wealthy families. The solidification of Huizhou is also like the bare flagpoles standing silently in the wind before the dilapidated ancestral halls today. The ordinary households in the long streets and narrow alleys still preserve the elegance of their ancestors, and the sound of children's reading can be heard endlessly.
