Laughter Through the Ages: A thousand years of humor, all brought to life in these pages
From the sharp-witted banter of the Han and Tang dynasties, to the earthy humor of the Republican era, and then to today's viral internet jokes, this book brings together the ancestors' wisdom for roasting people, the ancients' deadpan humor, and modern twists that turn expectations upside down.
No need to sit up straight and proper. Flip through a few pages over tea, and you'll either slap your knee laughing or hide a grin. The vivid human world tucked into the folds of time all comes down to one thought: "So the ancients knew how to have fun, too!"
Laughter is a bridge across time. On this side stands you, and on the other, an ancient storyteller crouched under the eaves, telling jokes a thousand years ago. Close the book with a smile still on your lips, and you'll know that life is worth living.
