About This Novel
"Sui Hua Ji Li Pu" is a chronicle of local customs compiled by Fei Zhu in the Yuan Dynasty. Attached is a volume of "Jianzhi Pu" and a volume of "Shu Brocade Pu". It mainly describes the festival customs in Sichuan from New Year's Day to Winter Solstice, with detailed description and rich content. This book is worth reading for readers interested in such topics. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the author often sent ministers to guard Chengdu. At that time, the social environment was extravagant, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, it declined due to war. I spent a lot of time recounting old events and wrote this book. The work records in chronological order how the local officials and people in Chengdu celebrated various festivals from the first day of the first lunar month to the end of the year and the winter solstice. The text is vivid and detailed. All previous studies on Chengdu society and folk customs during the Tang and Song Dynasties are inseparable from its records. From this perspective, this book is extremely influential. The book's description of Chengdu's scenery and people's conditions reproduces for readers the rich and colorful social life picture of ancient Chengdu and the historical origins of the formation of cultural characteristics. The "Shu Brocade Book" attached to the book is an important document for the study of silk production in the two Song Dynasties. It describes the establishment, scale, division of labor, output, product uses, management methods, construction history of Chengdu Jinyuan and the production of eight halo brocades, coiled ball brocades, clusters of four golden eagle brocades, etc. It is a special book for the study of ancient Shu brocades.
