Review of Houri Legend and Houri Culture by Cao Shujie

后稷是一位中华民族历史上极具特殊意义的人、神叠合的传说人物。《后稷传说与稷祀文化》一书在我国第一次对后稷传说和稷祀文化做了系统深入的研究和总结。该书文献资料丰富，分析深刻，对研究中华文明起源、古代祭祀、神话传说、上古文学、先周历史、民俗学等，都具有较高的参考价值。

Houji(后稷)is a very unique legendary figure in Chinese history with characters of both human and gods.Houri Legend and Houri Culture(《后稷传说与稷祀文化》)for the very first time in China carried out a systematical and deep study of this figure.With rich resource collection and deep analysis as features,this book should be regarded as a major reference to the study of the origin of Chinese civilization,ancient sacrifices,myth and legend,literature,history,and folk customs.
