Description

Explore a unique window into the history of China through the lens of its semi-literate masses. In Daily Life for the Common People of China, 1850 to 1950, author Ronald Suleski introduces the concept of chaoben culture. This work connects a growing influx of documents found in antique markets to the actual hopes and fears of people living at the end of the pre-modern era. By examining these specific source materials, the book provides a way to understand the lives of everyday citizens during a period of massive transition. It serves as a vital resource for researchers and students interested in Chinese social history and the preservation of texts that might otherwise be lost. This volume is part of the China Studies series, offering a specialized look at the documents that define a century of change.
