Chinese Food

Cultural China Series

by Junru Liu, William W. Wang (Translator)

Part of the educational and beautifully produced Cultural China Series, this book focuses on the long history of garments and ornaments in China, which are considered one of the necessities of life, as well part of China’s traditional craft heritage. This book discusses the development of garment making through archeological investigation, and the portrayals of different types of clothing in ancient texts and drawings. As a retrospective of garments throughout Chinese history, we can define cultural movements throughout the centuries. In vivid color, with illustrations and photographs accompanying the text throughout.

i swear i felt like i was rereading passages not just between chapters, but between paragraphs in the same chapter. if it dropped half the "chinese food is so refined" and "this really shows how chinese food culture is so classy" and actuallly talked about the food, the people, and the changes throughout history with that space, it could have been decent.
