Guihai Yuheng Zhi

Descriere

This important work of twelfth-century Chinese scholarship is at once a gazetteer, an ethnography, and a natural history of south China - mainly Guangxi and Hainan - and its indigenous people. Now, for the first time in English, a complete and annotated translation captures its charm and significance for new generations of scholars. James M. Hargett is professor of Chinese at the State University of New York, Albany.
