There were over a thousand counties and prefectures in late
imperial China; each loomed large in the hearts and minds of the
local natives, and had a history of its own. 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.
