The book begins with the boundaries between ?us? and ?them?, Chinese and other, during this period, including the rise of state systems. It looks at the challenges to such demarcations posed by movements of people, goods and ideas across maritime East Asia and the broader Asian Seas, and builds a fresh understanding of China?s boundaries. Of interest to students of migration, of Chinese history, and of relations between China and its region, Ng?s analysis provides crucial background to understanding China within Asia?s maritime world. The result is a novel way of approaching Chinese history, argued from a fresh perspective on China?s relations with neighbouring territories, and of the nature of tradition and its persistence in a changing world. 606 $aMerchant marine$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xHistory$yQing dynasty, 1644-1912 607 $aChina$xHistory$yMing dynasty, 1368-1644 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$zAsia$xHistory 607 $aChina$xCommerce$xHistory 610 $aHistory 610 $aChina 610 $aSouth China Sea 610 $aMaritime History 610 $aFujian 610 $aGuangzhou 610 $aJunk (ship) 610 $aMing dynasty 610 $aPortuguese people 610 $aQing dynasty 610 $aXiamen 615 0$aMerchant marine$xHistory. 676 $a382.09510903 700 $aNg$b Chin-Keong$0928995 712 02$aNUS Press, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219991703321 996 $aBoundaries and beyond$92160693 997 $aUNINA
