Rather than following one plot, the book describes the village of Shangtang the way a local gazetteer would, through nine aspects such as its geography, politics and roads. Its small people step forward one by one, among them women like Xu Lan and Shen Yufeng caught up in affairs outside marriage, and villagers who dance to escape their loneliness.
