Fengsu Tongyi

Fengsu Tongyi (風俗通義, pinyin: feng1su2 tong1yi4), or "Common Meanings in Customs", is a book written in about 195 AD, by author Ying Shao, who lived during the later Eastern Han period. The manuscript is similar to an almanac, which describes various strange and exotic matters of interest to the literati of the period, such as cultural practices, mystical beliefs, and musical instruments.
