I was thinking of @Forestofglory and a conversation we had a while back about cultural histories of the Tang. It made me remember this lesser known one.

This book is a cultural history of the city of Chang'An through the collected tales of failed examinees, women and foreigners. Also one of the books that sent me on the rabbit hole of foreigners and intercultural marriage in Tang China
