Great content, dense reading
The information here is top-notch and well-researched. However, be prepared for a very academic tone. It is not a light read, but essential for anyone serious about Chinese history.

Perfect for my thesis research
I needed specific details on funeral etiquette and folk sacrifices for my graduate thesis, and this guide delivered exactly what I needed. The bibliography alone is worth the price.

An Exhaustive Resource for Historians
This book provides an incredibly detailed look into the evolution of sacrificial rituals in ancient China. The section on the modernization of ritual items is particularly insightful for understanding the transition from dynastic to contemporary practices.

Comprehensive coverage
Covers everything from origins to modern forms. I deducted one star only because I wish there were more color plates, but the black and white images are still clear.
