It first conducts a systematic study of the use and design situations of single-drawn carriages from the Shang to Qin Dynasties.

This book was written by Mr. Cai Meibiao, a famous Chinese historian. It was published by Science Press in 1955. This is the 1955 revised edition. Most of the inscriptions on the vernacular tablets of the Yuan Dynasty are translated from official documents in Mongolian of the Yuan Dynasty, which are valuable original historical materials. The value of the vernacular monuments of the Yuan Dynasty can be explained from two aspects: linguistics and history. The first is the linguistic value. Most of the official documents of the Yuan Dynasty were first written in Mongolian and then translated into vernacular Chinese. Although this kind of vernacular is not completely consistent with the actual Chinese at that time due to limitations in translation level, it still reflects the spoken vernacular situation of the Yuan Dynasty to a certain extent and has become a good material for studying the history of Chinese in the Yuan Dynasty. This book is a relevant compilation of such information.
