    Summary note
    "The true essence of China is rooted in its villages. The traditional village culture of South China, as elsewhere in the country, is a microcosm of the nation's greater society and philosophy, both ancient and modern. South China Village Culture focuses on Hong Kong and Shenzhen - originally part of the same county - and explores the rich heritage of shared doctrines and beliefs, social and economic practices, and well-ordered local organization that have helped make this region the success it is today."--BOOK JACKET.
