Yangzhou, once the central place of literati and urban culture, is
still one of the most important centers of traditional culture in
China today. Over the years particular regional forms of art and
entertainment have arisen here, some surviving into the present
time. This richly illustrated volume celebrates Yangzhou's rich
cultural tradition through a well-balanced spectrum of topics
spanning the period from the late 17th century to modern times.
These are grouped into four thematic parts: Yangzhou's cultural
heritage during historic downfalls and revivals; regional
literature and book production; local theatre and storytelling; and
various artists of the 18th-century Yangzhou School of Painting.
Within each thematic part, descriptions and evaluations of cultural
phenomena are supplemented with reflections on lifestyle and
customs, weaving a virtual dialogue that binds the topical richness
of the collection tightly together.
