This book covers topics including origins and evolution, the ancient past; innovation and continuity, development over time; and diverse forms and the spread of customs.
The writing style of this book is very unique, and the writing is concise and smooth. It allowed me to understand the funeral culture and feel the author's thinking at the same time. The five-service ethical system mentioned in the book is very interesting. It shows the ancients' understanding of life and death. However, I kind of hate those overly formalized funeral customs, which feel too cumbersome. But overall, this is a book worth reading.
