The rarest Chinese character you may ever type, 爨 (cuàn, “stove”), spells the name of a village tucked in the mountains west of Beijing.
A delightful article. Thank you! Back in 1999 or so, I spent a great day at Cuandixia with the landscape photographer Lois Conner. I also recall a stunning meal we had at Zhaigong 齋宮 on the way there.
Wonderful. 🙏
What a fascinating story, fascinating place!
Most excellent! You write well.
