Chinese folk toys are long-standing in history and of great variety, such as the charmingly naive clay dolls, big twirling pinwheels, dancing and buzzing diabolo, kites of different patterns, etc. Though made of the commonest material, they denote a high level of craftsmanship and wisdom with a strong local feature and great funs of the streets and lanes. This book illustrates Chinese folk toys in details, and in particular gives priority to some ancient ones that are on the verge of extinction, hoping the audience could thereby have a better knowledge of Chinese folk culture.
The Chinese Red series is a collection of 70 Chinese-English bilingual books dedicated to introducing the versatile Chinese culture of 5,000 years. Each of the topics in this series covers a specific aspect of Chinese culture or geography, to name just a few, Chinese Surnames, Folk Shadow Play, The Silk Road. To explain each topic, Chinese history, customs, folk stories, and social values related to this topic are introduced with the aid of photos. For anyone interested in learning Chinese culture in depth, this series is definitely a must-read.
