"Customs and Customs", often quoted as "Customs and Customs" by people in the Han and Tang dynasties, was written by Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Folklore writings of the Han Dynasty. The original book consisted of thirty volumes and one appendix, but only ten volumes remain today. This book examines the ritual "Bai Hu Tong" and corrects the popular "Lun Heng". It records a large number of myths and anecdotes, but the author added his own comments, thus becoming an important document for studying the customs and ghost worship of the Han Dynasty. Lu Wenchuo, a later descendant, compiled many articles from "Customs and Customs" in "Qunshu Supplements", which were supplemented by eleven volumes. There are myths such as "Nuwa created human beings" and "Li Bing fights the dragon", all of which were recorded for the first time.
Reader comments
This book "General Meanings of Customs" is very interesting! It is like an ancient "book of strange events", recording many myths, legends and customs. I especially like the story about "Kui's one foot after becoming the queen of music". It turns out that Kui does not only have one foot, but his musical talent is very specialized. There is also a very interesting story about "Ding's passing through a well and finding someone". Rumors are always prone to distortion and we need to distinguish carefully. This book not only allowed me to understand ancient customs and culture, but also taught me to make my own judgments about rumors.
