Summary: "Chin-Chin; Or, The Chinaman at Home" by Ki-tong Tcheng is an anthropological work written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of Chinese customs, focusing particularly on the social and cultural practices that define leisure and festivities in China. It aims to offer a unique insight into the life of the Chinese people from the perspective of someone who has experienced it firsthand. At the start of the book, the author establishes a context for understanding Chinese home life, comparing architectural styles throughout history and describing the traditional layout of a typical Chinese house. He illustrates the everyday comforts and aesthetics of domestic life while also reflecting on the cultural values embedded in their social structures.
