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.

《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。

“评话”，原是讲说故事的一种民间表演技艺，在宋代的城市里极为盛行。后来，这类口头表演的内容被记录整理成书面文字，称为“话本”或者“白话小说”。元代时开始专指演叙历史题材的白话小说为评话，到了明清两代，评话便成了涵盖各种题材的白话小说的通称。“评话”以城市中的普通大众作为主要的读者对象，语言通俗易懂，内容也多是反映市井小人物的荣枯沉浮和悲欢离合，表现的是与传统士大夫诗文迥然不同的市俗精神风貌，有着极高的文学、艺术价值。 《喻世明言》、《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》、《拍案惊奇》和《二刻拍案惊奇》（合称“三言二拍”）是五部为著名的宋明短篇白话小说集，其中很多作品在成书后不久即被翻译成多种外文，流传到世界各地。本书的20篇作品均选自于上述五部小说集，英文部分由著名的翻译家杨宪益、戴乃迭

The Chinese do not see wine as one of the necessities of life, but in theirsocial life the culture of wine as a distinct cultural form has made andcontinues to make an impact on the way the Chinese live.

Throughout the long history of China, withits large population and long-term reliance on agriculture, the ups and downsof the wine trade have been closely bound up with political, economic andsocial conditions. The fluctuations in the grain harvest were like a barometerfor the ups and downs of the wine business. The successive ruling dynastiesissued or relaxed restrictions on wine production according to the grainharvests to make sure that people had enough to live on.
