Having spent decades researching these exceptionally rich sources, Joseph P. McDermott presents in two volumes his findings about the major social and economic changes in this important prefecture of south China from around 900 to 1700. In this first volume, we learn about village settlement, competition among village religious institutions, premodern agricultural production, the management of land and lineage, the rise of the lineage as the dominant institution, and its members' application of commercial practices to local forestry operations. This landmark study of religious life and economic activity, of lineage and land, and of rural residents and urban commercial practices provides a compelling new framework for understanding a distinctive path of economic and social development for premodern China and beyond. 606 $aRural development$zChina$xHistory 606 $aEconomic development$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRural development$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic development$xHistory. 676 $a307.1/4120951 700 $aMcDermott$b Joseph Peter$0701183 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787751203321 996 $aThe making of a new rural order in South China$93769959 997 $aUNINA
