Synopsis

This is a set of extensive textbook about Chinese culture, suitable for learners at upper-intermediate level of Chinese. Some trivia in Chinese daily life like tea-drinking, drink, wear and something like this kind of tiny things, together some secular things relevant to wedding, funeral, death and ghost, are chose into the book. In addition, the understanding and love for water, flower and jade is graceful culture for Chinese, while brag, Mahjong-playing, toilet things are so secular, which are not averted in the book. Except for those explorations for eternal and concrete existences like mountain, river, moon and sun, the author also mentions some permanent but abstract concepts like personal loyalty and destiny that ties people together. Of all ages, Chinese accumulate their culture through common trivia. Maybe with the help of exaggeration of these simple but complex, plain but profound, pure but imposing cultural phenomena, some inspirations and enjoyment can be gained, and even excitement caused leads to the introspection.
