Reader comments
This book is really interesting! It examined social customs from the Xia, Shang, Zhou and Zhou dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty in detail, allowing me to learn a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before. As mentioned in the book, the ancients did not have socks, so they were barefoot after taking off their shoes. This reminded me of the scene when I saw my grandfather working in the fields barefoot when I was a child. Moreover, the author explains the changes in social things very clearly, which I think is very helpful for us to understand traditional culture.
The content is rich and detailed, and the truth can be found in ordinary places. It is indeed a classic that reflects the overall outlook of national culture.
