Reader comments
This book is very interesting! Wang Han wrote about those traditional handicrafts in a very interesting way. I especially liked the part where he wrote about making folding fans and oilcloth umbrellas. I felt like I could follow suit! His observations on life are so detailed and his writing style is also good. I feel that he is not only writing about these small objects, but also about the beauty in life. This book made me more interested in traditional culture. I recommend you read it too!
Many things described in the book will resonate with me, and a lot of memories will be generated from these resonances. Many places are written very delicately!
