I would like to recommend this book to anyone interested in China, Chinese cities, and culture. It provides detailed explanations of the legends and history of each city.
Although China is viewed as a single country, it is actually a multi-ethnic nation composed of various ethnic groups. Approaching China with generalizations based on the assumption that it is a single nation could lead to significant misunderstandings. This book allows readers to examine China by region, considering historical facts and environmental factors.
Lee Eun-sang: Read in Chinese Local
*Reading China Locally* takes place in a country where China’s land area is vast enough to rival the entirety of Europe. A single province is large enough to be comparable in size to a European country; for example, Sichuan Province covers an area as large as Germany, and Qinghai Province has a total land area larger than France. This book was written to help readers understand the culture of China, a nation where diverse races and unique cultures have taken root across its expansive land.
