Many colorful illustrations throughout the series will give readers a better understanding of those facts and stories, which tell them about not only history but also how to learn from history.

History of the Folk Houses discusses the many different styles of Chinese homes. In China, a country with a vast land and miscellaneous ethnic groups, the residential buildings are diversified. Residences can be divided into different types, including courtyards, pile dwellings, cave dwellings, earthen buildings, yurts, blockhouses and Ayiwang residences (culture-associated residences in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region).
