Dongjing Meng Hua Lu

Dongjing Meng Hua Lu or The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor, is a memoir written by Meng Yuanlao. In 1126, Meng was made a refugee from Kaifeng, the thriving capital of the Northern Song dynasty after Jin dynasty conquered northern China and forced the withdrawal of the Song court to the temporary capital, Hangzhou, in the south, then known as Lin'an. Meng's book is a detailed and nostalgic description of the old capital's urban life, seasonal products, and festivals, as well as foods, customs, and traditions. In later dynasties, the book was much imitated and taken as an authoritative picture of affluent Chinese culture.
