Beijing Jisheng

About This Novel

In this book, she fully demonstrates the history, society, customs, and folk customs of Beijing during the Republic of China. It truly restores the Chinese style of that era and is of great historical value. This book was first published in 1920 and has been reprinted many times since. It enjoys a high reputation among Western writings about Beijing. This publication was translated by senior researcher Mr. Ji Jianqing based on the 1931 final version of the book, with detailed annotations, making it easier for readers to immerse themselves in reading and reference.
