宁波老外滩史料选编：纪念宁波开埠180周年
Compiled By The History Center Of Jiangbei District, Ningbo City
The signing of the Treaty of Nanjing between China and Britain in 1842 marked the beginning of China's transformation from a feudal society to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. As one of the five treaty ports, Ningbo was the first to bear the brunt, especially the "Old Bund", which was designated as a "foreigner's trading residence". It has undergone historic changes in the past 90 years. The economic aggression of Western powers and the collision and blending of two civilizations are being accepted and developed by both sides, whether actively or by force. This book has five special topics: political situation, port economy, public security and municipal administration, church activities, and celebrity anecdotes. It is carefully compiled from a large number of historical materials to truly show Ningbo's transformation process. This book has both historical and practical value.
