The river before and after the fall
Huangguoshu becomes more than one famous view when the Baishui River, the cave behind the water and Xu Xiake’s writing enter the picture.

The face above the face
Anshun Dixi brings carved masks, sung military tales and village companies into a tradition connected with the Tunpu settlements.

Anshun’s wax-resist cloth begins with a tool and a line; its local Miao and Buyi traditions need to be read in their own settings.
