History of Geography
by Du Yu
About This Novel
My country's ancient geography achievements are world-renowned. The famous American geographer James also admitted in "History of Geographic Thought" that "ancient China attached great importance to the study of geography" and that "the achievements of the Chinese people were the most important" in the Middle Ages. He also believes that: "The study of Chinese geography, as part of its extensive academic tradition, has made great progress at that time, surpassing anything known in Christian Europe." Indeed, the development of ancient geography in my country has a long history. It was formed in the pre-Qin Dynasty, matured in the Qin and Han Dynasties, developed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was brilliant in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Whether it is the understanding of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland or the geographical understanding of foreign countries, whether it is physical geography or human geography, it has always been in a leading position in the world. Even in terms of scientific geography, as early as the Northern Song Dynasty in my country, Shen Kuo was exploring natural laws in many fields of geography, and there were already signs of scientific geography theory. This book describes these brilliant achievements of ancient Chinese geography one by one.
