teahouse

This book examines teahouses in Chengdu from 1900 to 1950, using them as a window into the realities of Chengdu life in the first half of the 20th century. Employing a microhistorical approach, the author explores the social, cultural, and political role of teahouses through the lens of leisure, social interaction, entertainment, business, community, organization, and order, allowing readers to truly experience the daily lives of the people and the pulse of Chengdu's urban history. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, news reports, literary works, and meticulous field research, the book is rich in detail, vivid in its lived-in atmosphere, and exceptionally integrates theory and practice. It is a classic work in the study of social and urban history, and a successful example of the new cultural history and microhistorical approaches to the study of Chinese history.
