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, from which "Shanghai-style culture," "Shanghai-style fashion," and "Shanghai-style style" were derived to highlight regional cultural differences. However, people's private lives stubbornly retain customs, cuisine, marriage practices, and even values from their hometowns. Thus, a life form is formed that is both unified as a whole and richly diverse in its components. This book is one of the series "New Shanghai Discovery Tour." It introduces readers to temporary stays and transportation in the new Shanghai. The book not only explores Shanghai-style market customs but also reveals a comprehensive historical, geographical, and cultural landscape throughout, allowing readers not only to understand today's Shanghai but also to learn about the old Shanghai and its unique regional culture.
