The first two chapters are an outstanding glimpse of life for the citizens of Hangzhou, the world's most advanced city during the Southern Song Dynasty in the late 13th century. The second half of the book gets caught up in detail and repetition and actually becomes quite boring, but I highly recommend the first half.
Old-fashioned in a bad sense.
A great reference for both historians and re creators.
Great resource for anyone interested in Medieval China!
