This book, first published in 1936, offers the conception of the dynamics of the Key Economic Area as an aid to the understanding of Chinese economic history. By tracing their development through a historical study of the construction of irrigation and flood-control works and transport canals, it shows the function of the Key Economic Area as an instrument of control of subordinate areas.

This 11-volume set gathers together some key older titles on China's history. Encompassing China's political, economic, and cultural development, the books gathered here also deal with contacts with the West both ancient and modern.
