Description and Table of Contents
Description
For seven generations, members of the Huang family lived in a house called Yin Tu Tang in a small, remote Chinese village. By the mid-1990s, the surviving members had moved away and the house was abandoned. In 1997, the house was moved to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, and will be opened as a permanent installation in 2003. This book tells the story of 18th-century Chinese domestic life, culture, and the remarkable restoration of the house at the Peabody Essex Museum.
