Features: Shanghai is an immigrant city. When people from all over the country gather here, different dialects gradually give way to a new local dialect in social settings. The term "Shanghai people" emerged as a collective noun, leading to the development of "Shanghai-style culture," "Shanghai-style fashion," and "Shanghai-style style," all of which highlight regional cultural distinctions. However, people's private lives stubbornly retain customs, cuisine, marriage practices, and even values from their hometowns. Thus, a life form emerges that is both unified as a whole and diverse in its components. This book is part of the "New Shanghai Discovery Tour" series, introducing readers to the shopping environment in modern Shanghai. It not only explores the local customs of Shanghai but also reveals a comprehensive historical, geographical, and cultural landscape throughout the book, enabling readers to not only understand today's Shanghai but also the old Shanghai and its unique regional culture.
