Human beings, who possess and surpass the abilities of most creatures on the earth, rely on their increasingly developed abilities of organization, production, consumption and reproduction to gradually evolve into the masters of the earth. Not only has this process not been blocked by other forces, but it is also driven by its nature to move towards the future. The tremendous pressure and disturbance this momentum has exerted on the earth's environment has naturally aroused widespread concern among people and people at all levels around the world. "See the beginning to know the beginning, see the end to know the end." When the disciplines of historical geography and environmental history examine and explain the ability and evolutionary direction of individuals and groups of human societies, they have a special perspective and analytical advantage due to their familiarity with natural science and historical scientific research methods. The academic community has already done some such research work. The author has followed in his footsteps and offered a brief introduction. More expectations are focused on the majority of scholars.

This book starts from the study of floods, takes the issue of urban change as the main line, and focuses on the theme of the impact of Yellow River floods on urban changes in the downstream areas and the interactive relationship between the two. It systematically explores the decline and regeneration of downstream cities, as well as the pattern evolution, center of gravity shift process and its internal reasons in the Ming and Qing Dynasties against the backdrop of frequent floods and changes in the ecological environment. This book uses the research methods of historical geography, urban history, disaster history, ecological history and other disciplines to systematically sort out the historical materials of the Yellow River disaster, and conducts a relatively comprehensive collection and arrangement of the Yellow River historical records of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, local chronicles of downstream provinces, cities and counties, compilations, archives, and various survey materials; it also uses field investigation methods to discover first-hand information, combining macro research with micro research, overall research and case studies; and draws on the historical map method. , Using the river course map, survey map and city site map data, we studied the Yellow River hydrology and floods, Yellow River floods and urban morphological changes, Yellow River floods and urban economic changes, Yellow River floods and urban social changes, etc., Striving to accurately reflect the distribution status and changing trends of the research objects in space or time, in order to draw scientific and reasonable conclusions, and provide some reference for more rational protection and utilization of the Yellow River, and protection of urban development in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

This book mainly focuses on maps collected in ancient books that have been neglected for a long time, and combines them with picture books, journals and stone-engraved maps published by various libraries. It contains more than 500 types of maps before the Qing Dynasty. The book first gives a brief introduction to the ancient books that contain maps. Then, based on this, through comparative analysis, the maps with origin relationships are classified and listed according to genealogy, and the relationships and important differences between the maps belonging to each genealogy are briefly explained.

This book starts from the perspective of "knowledge and institutional transformation in modern China" and examines the historical process of chart compilation of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It re-evaluates the textual value of the traditional chart of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then considers the interactive relationship between the transformation of modern waterway chart compilation and the changes in Sichuan River shipping. Research shows that modern Chinese cartography's recognition and acceptance of Western surveying and mapping technology and cartographic knowledge was a rather complex process of "localized" knowledge production involving Western cultural communicators and local mapmakers. Only by fully understanding the complexity between "tradition" and "modernity" can we truly reconstruct the interpretation system of "modernity" issues in Chinese cartographic history. At the same time, only by compromising "comprehensive modernity" and "local tradition" and paying attention to the creation process of "modern tradition" since the late Qing Dynasty can we rediscover the historical path and specific way for Chinese society to move toward "modernity."

The Republic of China was an important stage in the transformation of Xi'an from tradition to modernity. As one of the most important infrastructures in the city, the development and evolution of roads is often the forerunner of urban change. This book uses the theoretical methods of historical geography and related disciplines, taking the evolution of the urban road system in Xi'an during the Republic of China as an entry point, and discusses it from three levels: restoring the evolution of the urban road system, analyzing the relationship between the evolution of the road system and municipal management changes, and exploring the conflicts between roads, vehicles, and people in the process of road utilization and the transformation of urban governance reflected in management, in order to deeply understand the modern transformation process of Xi'an during the Republic of China. Using the evolution of the road system as a carrier, this book attempts to explore new ideas for the study of historical urban geography from the perspective of modern transformation from three levels: material entity construction, upper-level institutional evolution, and urban social change.

From the perspective of historical geography, this book explores the process of the Qing Dynasty's deepening of "controlling the land and governing the people" in Yunnan. By sorting out the changes in different land and population management systems such as formal administrative divisions, the Mu Family Village, the Weisuo system, and the chieftain system, it reveals the integrated evolution of Yunnan's administrative divisions and administrative management systems in the Qing Dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yunnan's formal administrative divisions had been established in a vast area except the chieftain areas in the semi-circle of the southwest border. The Qing Dynasty's power to directly "control the land and govern the people" in Yunnan had been greatly deepened and expanded. "Governing the land and governing the people" was the basis for the integrated evolution of Yunnan's administrative divisions and administrative management systems in the Qing Dynasty, and was also the intrinsic factor driving its development and evolution.

As an important region connecting the east and west ends of the Eurasian continent, Central Asia has presented different civilizational ecology and geopolitical significance in ancient, modern and contemporary times. As China has close historical and geographical connections with it, how to construct the integrity of our understanding of Central Asia in the dimension of historical continuity will be directly related to the richness and completeness of China's northwest extraterritorial cognitive framework. Based on the consideration of the geographical importance of Central Asia and the integrity of China's external cognition, this book analyzes and sorts out the evolution of China's modern cognition of Central Asia from the perspective of the whole and the divisions.

Currently, re-understanding the relationship between ancient China and the outside world has become an issue of great concern to academic circles. This book focuses on the description and analysis of the overall historical interaction of the region, transcending the traditional Chinese and foreign "two points plus one line (traffic route)" historical view of the Silk Road, and instead thinking about how ancient China expanded its historical influence through the overall regional network.

Taking Chongqing as an example, this book studies the dynamic changes in urban planning and construction in Chongqing from 1891 to 2011 with reference to relevant maps, diaries, newspaper news, memoirs, official documents and other materials. Taking the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 as the boundary, research can be roughly divided into two "Jiazi". The first period of time: Chongqing was opened in humiliation and experienced major events such as warlords' melee, westward relocation of the government, the bombing of Chongqing, and the return of the government to the capital; the second period: Chongqing experienced major events such as liberation, urban takeover, third-line construction, the "Cultural Revolution", reform and opening up, direct administration, and the development of the western region. Comparing the two periods, we find that Chongqing's urban changes are a microcosm of China's social changes. The first "Jiuzi" had its highs and eventually led to the decline of people's livelihood; the second "Jiuzi" had its troughs and was heading towards national rejuvenation. At the same time, the major events in the two Jiazi are not isolated.
