Features: "The Old Beijing Series" is a collection of books introducing the customs and lifestyles of Beijing. It primarily describes the lives of Beijingers in terms of clothing, food and drink, housing, transportation, entertainment, and commerce from the late Qing Dynasty to the early period of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The books provide both comprehensive overviews and detailed descriptions, as well as the author's personal observations. It is not an academic monograph or a compilation of reference materials, but rather a highly readable popular literature.
