Reader comments
This "History of Chinese Crabs" is really an interesting book! The history and culture of crabs are told from various angles and the content is very rich. Moreover, the author has checked many classics, and the quoted materials have detailed annotations. It can be seen that the author is very careful. I especially like the parts about crab cooking methods and crab poetry. I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge. Just like what is said in the book, "Although the history of crabs is small, you can still get a glimpse of the long history of China." I recommend it to you!
