The General History of China V1, written by the French Jesuit missionary and historian Jean-Baptiste Du Halde and first published in 1741, is a comprehensive account of Chinese history, culture, and society. The book covers the period from the legendary Xia dynasty (c. 2100 BCE) to the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor (r. 1722-1735) of the Qing dynasty, which Du Halde witnessed firsthand during his time in China. The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides an overview of Chinese geography, climate, and natural resources. The second part covers the history of China from the Xia to the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE), including the legendary figures, major events, and cultural achievements of each period. The third part focuses on the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, with detailed descriptions of their political systems, social structures, and economic activities. The final part discusses Chinese religion, philosophy, literature, art, and science, as well as the customs and manners of the Chinese people.Throughout the book, Du Halde draws on a wide range of sources, including Chinese official histories, travel accounts, and literary works, as well as his own observations and interviews with Chinese scholars and officials. He also provides numerous illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the places and events he describes.The General History of China V1 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese history and culture, as well as for scholars of comparative history and world civilizations.
