What was the actual situation of China's coastal trade in the late Qing Dynasty, and how was the trade order constructed? How was social management carried out in the coastal areas of South China? What role did Britain play in modern China? This book discusses the opium trade, treaty port trade, piracy, shipwrecks, secret societies and rebellions, taxation, immigration and other issues along the South China coast from the 1830s to the early 20th century under the framework of "maritime history". By describing the activities of the Fujian people, it shows the process of the disintegration and reconstruction of the coastal order in the late Qing Dynasty.
