Is it Safe to Travel on Business: Chongqing's Commercial System in the Qing Dynasty
by Zhou Lin
About This Novel
Chongqing in the Qing Dynasty was a rising commercial city on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and an immigrant city in the process of reconstruction. How would business operate in such a city? How will people from different regions and engaged in different industries interact to shape a unique business order? This book uses commercial litigation files from the Qing Dynasty's "Ba County Archives" as the main material to answer these two questions. The book outlines the three evolutionary stages of Chongqing's commercial system in the Qing Dynasty, and extracts the operating logic of "controlling business by difference (centi)" in the Chongqing market in the Qing Dynasty. That is, both local officials and businessmen were involved, and political power was the decisive factor in Chongqing's commercial changes in the Qing Dynasty.
