The historical records of Ch'ing China (1644-1911) contain numerous
statistics concerning the population in local areas and the
distribution of markets. These figures provide information on two
of the most important and least understood factors that were to
affect China's modern development: the massive population growth
prior to 1850 and the tenacity of small-scale markets as the focus
of commercialisation. This book presents and evaluates the data
from northern China to ascertain the quality of available records
and to determine what they can tell is about variations from area
to area and from period to period. The analysis of population
centres on sex rations, age distributions, mean household size and
growth rates. Without overlooking limitations in the data, this
study emphasises the implications of the findings for general
problems in the social history of the Ch'ing period.
