general rule, the answers to similar economic and social questions are usually found
in the last two categories of the gazetteers, namely, (19) products, produces and
crops (wuchan
) and (20) customs and festivals (fengsu
). In fact, the
物產
風俗
“fengsu” chapter of the late Qing version of the Jiading xianji
states
that when carrying goods to trade in market towns, the villagers of the county
shall not travel farther than 40
li
so that they may return home within the same
day (
1991
: 158b). In other words, a single trip should not exceed 20
li
or 9.2 km,
and thus it was safe to assume that the cotton-cloth-production buffer zone radius
should be about 8-9 km. On the basis of the township unit boundaries, for instance,
we could easily locate the
bao
in which cotton cloth production were concentrated
in each stage of the Ming-Qing period, and cross-check whether their taxation
responsibilities were changed accordingly.
Not all local gazetteers are compiled with all of the essential information
prescribed in the perfect structure introduced by the Qing scholar Zhang Xuecheng.
However, by incorporating the various kinds of available materials collected by
these geographical sources into the historical GIS, we could create a much firmer
ground on which to conduct multidisciplinary studies that combine socioeconomic
history, local history, GISs, regional analysis and other social science methods to
generate a new understanding of and new research strategies for the economic
development of China's regions, past and present.
