China is the homeland of tea, taking a leading position in the planting, producing and drinking of tea. Because of their different producing techniques, Chinese tea is divided into six major types-green tea, black tea, oolong tea, dark tea, yellow tea and white tea. Some people say that green tea, simple and light, stands for the scholasticity of south China; black tea, mild and reserved, is quite ladylike; oolong tea, warm and persistent, resembles the perseverance of gymnosophists; dark tea, with lingering aftertaste, symbolizes the wisdom of the elderly, and so on and so forth.
《聊斋志异》成书于17-18世纪的中国清代，作者蒲松龄。该书在广泛搜集民间传说的基础上创作而成，在中国小说史上是一部横空出世的惊世奇术。它的近五百篇作品，构建了一个人鬼狐妖曲折离奇的艺术世界，用细腻洗练的文笔，塑造了一大批家喻户晓、鲜明生动的“聊斋人物”，成为中国文学人物画廊中的一个奇观。全书浪漫恣肆、充满想象，或把狐鬼花妖现实化，或将现实生活神异化；或美颂人间真情，或讽喻世态丑恶，亦真亦幻，出神人化，意象神奇，令人惊叹。《聊斋志异》以其独特而杰出的艺术成就，成为中国文言小说的*之作。 《聊斋志异》19世纪中叶即传播到国外，先后被译成十几种文字。本书中文版本选自张友鹤辑校本。英译主要选自黄友义译本。
China has an ancient civilization with a very long history. Understanding its olely through the study of documents is clearly inadequate. A wealth of objects and remains has been preserved on China's vast territory and underground; much of which has been collected and is exhibited in various kinds of museums. This raw material of history can, in a certain sense, be considered more valuable for our understanding of the past of China than documents and historical records. Among the sixty-one museums selected for this book, many have been designated as key protected cultural sites by China. Some have been included in the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage Sites. We hope that this volume can serve visitors as a guide to understanding these museums.
