Chinese Folk Customs (English Edition): Festivals, Weddings, Food, Dress, Taboos & Etiquette Across China’s Ethnic Groups

From Spring Festival, Dragon-Boat and Water-Splashing Festivals to Wedding Traditions, Dietary Habits, Costume Customs and Taboo Rules of the Han and 20+ Ethnic Groups — A Detailed Introduction
This book gives you a detailed look at how people across China live their everyday lives—through the customs that mark festivals, weddings, meals, clothing, greetings, and the rules people follow without always saying why. It covers the Han majority and more than twenty ethnic groups, from Spring Festival and Dragon-Boat Festival celebrations to Kazakh and Miao wedding traditions, from Tibetan and Hui dietary habits to the costume customs of the Dai and Manchu, and the etiquette and taboo customs that shape daily behavior in different communities. If you want to understand the actual practices and differences behind Chinese folk customs, community by community—rather than read a travel guide or an abstract folklore theory—this is it.
