This is the first book-length history of Chinese teahouses in the
English-speaking world or in China. "The Teahouse" examines
economic, social, political, and cultural changes as funneled
through the teahouses of Chengdu during the first half of the
twentieth century. The images brought together in this work paint a
complete picture of everyday culture in the most basic unit of
public life. This microhistorical examination of the teahouse and
public life takes us into the heart of a city to explore urban
society in depth, and provides a new way to look at the Chinese
city and at daily life.
