Good reference, but niche

It is a solid reference book if you are specifically studying this era. For a general reader interested in broad Chinese history, it might be too specialized.

Beautifully Illustrated Encyclopedia

I bought this for my university course on East Asian history. The illustrations of ritual vessels and the breakdown of folk activities are stunning and educational.

Great content, dense reading

The information here is top-notch and very authentic. However, be prepared for a dense read as it covers everything from origins to specific supply regulations. Not a light weekend read.

Essential for my collection

The chapter on the development of sacrificial supplies alone is worth the price. It fills a gap in English literature regarding traditional folk culture series.
