Jun Fang

China's Second Capital - Nanjing under the Ming, 1368-1644

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a study of the dual capital system of Ming dynasty China (1368-1644), with a focus on the administrative functions of the auxiliary Southern Capital, Nanjing. It argues that the immense geographical expanse of the Chinese empire and the poor communication infrastructure of pre-modern times necessitated the establishment of an additional capital administration for effective control of the Ming realm.
