Description

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.
