The Order of Places tells a story of how these places were ordered by the long-lived imperial state, and then re-ordered during the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries as geographical mobility increased. At the center of the story are the mobile merchants from south China’s Huizhou Prefecture, then the most prominent merchant group in China. The story presents the dynamics of geography in the world’s most enduring empire on the eve of its entry into modern history, as the author explores the changing relationships between people and the place they called “home”, between local place and the life-world the Chinese called “all-under-Heaven,” and between local places.Sinica Leidensia ;Volume 119.Human geographyChinaHistoryResidential mobilityChinaHistoryMerchantsChinaHuizhou DiquSocial conditionsHomeSocial aspectsChinaHuizhou DiquHistorySpatial behaviorSocial aspectsChinaHuizhou DiquHistoryHuizhou Diqu (China)Social conditionsHuizhou Diqu (China)CommerceChinaHistoryMing dynasty, 1368-1644ChinaHistoryQing dynasty, 1644-1912ChinaGeographyHuman geographyHistory.Residential mobilityHistory.MerchantsSocial conditions.HomeSocial aspectsHistory.Spatial behaviorSocial aspectsHistory.304.2/309510903Du Yongtao1970-1663796MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806923303321The order of places4021373UNINA
