About This Novel
"Illustrated Book of Ancient People's Life and Culture" is an interesting encyclopedia created by history blogger Langhua Jiang. The author starts from two clues: "daily life" and "culture", and scans the material life and spiritual world of ancient people in a multi-faceted way through 22 perspectives and more than a hundred exquisite pictures, including eating, eating meat, drinking wine, tasting tea, staying up late, spending money, surnames, nobles, prophecies, bronzes, jades, ancient buildings, etc. This book is called "Illustrated Book of Ancient People's Life and Culture" and is not a collection of specimens displaying ancient cultural relics. In the traditional sense, "illustrated books" refer to classification reference books in the scientific field that are mainly images and supplemented by text, such as the "Illustrated Book of Birds". But now the concept of "pictorial" has been expanded. This book continues the narrative gene of "Urban Illustrated Books" (such as Tokyo Women's Illustrated Book, Beijing Women's Illustrated Book), treating the ancients as living individuals struggling to survive in specific time and space. The book breaks users' single romantic imagination of ancient life and shows the real and complex living conditions of ancient people.
