The book explores the rich cultural and geographical evolution of China, focusing on the transition from the Yellow River to the Yangtze as the heart of civilization. It delves into the concept of Chiangnan, a region steeped in diverse interpretations, evoking images of serene landscapes, tea terraces, and spiritual sites. In 1991, Bill Porter, accompanied by poet Finn Wilcox and photographer Steve Johnson, embarks on a journey through this misty land, documenting their experiences with evocative prose and striking black-and-white photography.
