A volume of the 21st Century Chinese Literature series, Street Wizards is a collection of 14 new folklores, including Wedding Banquet by Wang Anyi, Three Fiddle Tales by Huang Jianhua, Mystique in White by Wu Xuan, Street Wizards by Feng Jicai and River Lanterns by Ah Cheng. All of the selected stories center on commonplace subjects, but are expressed through discoveries of spectacle and wonder. The highbrow arts of music, Chinese chess, calligraphy and painting, along with the more lowbrow or popular crafts of mending bowls with clamps, repairing paper fans and papercutting are equal in terms of being quintessential folk arts and traditions. Folkways ultimately have no differentiation between high or low, art or craft, urban or rural. Social conventions and domestic arts, including even things as trivial as chicken feathers and garlic skins are all embodiments of folkways.
