Description

Zhang Xiao's Community Fire is a vibrant visual exploration of Shehuo, a traditional Chinese Spring Festival celebration that has evolved over thousands of years. The photographer captures how mass-produced substitutions have transformed the practice of this ancient tradition.

Through his colorful and fantastical images, Zhang Xiao reveals the impact of increased government involvement on the cultural heritage of Shehuo. This dynamic visual exploration is accompanied by essays in both English and Chinese, offering a nuanced understanding of one of China's oldest traditions.

Copublished by Aperture and Peabody Museum Press, Community Fire is a unique and thought-provoking book that showcases the photographer's skill and insight into the complexities of cultural heritage.
