The Sui and Tang dynasties marked one of the most glorious periods in Chinese history. This book display, themed ‘Everyday Life in the Sui-Tang Dynasties’, curates a selection of historical documents, scholarly publications, and literary works on the daily life of that era. From the ornate attire and delicacies of the imperial nobles to the plain clothing and humble meals of common folk; from the magnificent bustle of Chang’an’s street scenes to the hustling boat traffic along the Jiangnan canals—all unfolding the essence of Sui and Tang societies.
