Things to do:

Some free online collections:** collections.si.edu/search/results.htm?q=&fq=online_visual_material%3Atrue&fq=online_media_type%3A%22Images%22&fq=culture%3A%22Chinese%22&fq=object_type%3A%22Paintings%22&view=list&date.slider=300s%2C1800s

Unclear legality:

Eaten during Dragon Boat Festival, but can be bought year round.

Buy frozen. Pick the ones with meat and eggs!!! Boil.

Cost about 4 dollars for 2.

You can't eat them every day because too heavy, but they are so amazingly tasty!!!

This classification is too restrictive, and too South-centered. But if is worth knowing.

The most important publisher, AKA "CRC Jianian". TODO meaning of Jianian?

Discogs entry: www.discogs.com/label/743059-China-Record-Corporation?page=1

Chinese government owned unfortunately.

Their website takes forever to load: www.china-crc.com.cn/, and features mostly Communist shit, and I can't find the decent traditional music listed there.

One thing to try is an Amazon advanced search by label "China Record Co": www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-music&rh=p_33%3AChina+Record+Co&s=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.x=42&Adv-Srch-MP3-Submit.y=4&unfiltered=1&ref=sr_adv_m_digital

This is a good place to start your journey, though it misses a lot, and some songs are not as memorable as others, there is huge variability in that list.
