Lee Eun-sang: The Renaissance of the Yangtze River

*Reading the Renaissance of the Yangtze River Through Images* is a book that introduces the culture of China's Yangtze River basin from the late 15th century to the first half of the 20th century. The author, Lee Eun-sang, a specialist in Chinese classical literature, compiled the book based on his impressions and collected materials from field research in China. The text is divided into five parts, covering the region in the order in which the cultural center shifted, from Suzhou to Huizhou, Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Shanghai. Each of the five regions is interpreted through keywords such as the "Birth of Elegance," "Pursuit of Elegance," "Pursuit of Luxury," and "Pursuit of Desire and Modernity." Photographs and illustrations capturing the landscapes of the Yangtze River, along with documentary materials, are included to aid readers' understanding.
