Looking for Recommendations: Something Well-Written
I want books like Dream? You Think You Can Bully Me Even in My Dreams? Are there any novels whose covers, titles, and blurbs look like a complete mess, but that are actually really well written?

It's not bad to sit on the bench! I read "Folk Customs" by Wang Dacong who loves to eat onions. I thought it was just a book about feudal superstitions. After reading it, I realized that it has opened a treasure house of folk culture! The author is like a senior guide, leading readers between ancient and modern times, analyzing the old values passed down orally one by one. The content in the book is beyond imagination, from daily life to weddings and funerals, to worshiping gods, to drinking and sitting, every detail has unique rules. The most surprising thing is that those seemingly mysterious taboos can actually find scientific basis. For example, temple incense ash and grapefruit leaf purification are behind the effects of electromagnetic fields and sterilizing ingredients. This collision of tradition and science is very enjoyable to read. The author is not only popularizing knowledge, but also arousing everyone's attention to folk culture. In the fast-paced modern society, many old rules are gradually being forgotten. This book is like a wake-up call, reminding us that folk custom is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors and carries profound cultural heritage. Whether you are interested in mysterious things or want to have a deeper understanding of traditional culture, this book is not to be missed.
I listened so closely, it's so good, so good!
Very good, very practical
Regarding folk culture, if you believe it, there is it; if you don't, you don't have it.
