Three Records of Strange Customs: Forbidden Lands of China

"Three Records of Strange Customs: Forbidden Lands of China" [Foreword: The Forbidden Book] In the folds of the Chinese earth, there are countless secrets buried by the years. Those taboos spread in rural villages, those rules engraved on the ancestral tablets, and those "don't dos" that the old people repeatedly told before they died are not groundless superstitions. They are the rules of survival that countless generations of people have exchanged for their flesh and soul, and they are the last line of defense to maintain the fragile balance between the yin and yang worlds. When someone ignores these taboos, when ancient rules are trampled by the arrogance of modern civilization, those obsessions that have been suppressed for thousands of years will awaken. They will distort reality and turn a world into a deadly "dangerous realm". Here, the rules are the laws, and those who violate them will be doomed. This is a book that records taboos, and it is also a book about surviving within taboos. You will follow three different perspectives and step into this forgotten forbidden land. You will experience the immersive fear, see the iron-blooded persistence of official institutions in the darkness, and even hear the cries from the depths of history behind those distorted obsessions. Remember, when you open this book, you are already in the game. Don't ask, don't look, don't look back.
