About this product
Product Information
China's long-term maritime history has been overlooked by the scholarly world, creating a misconception that the Chinese were sea- or ocean-phobic. This image has been promoted rather deliberately because a sailing-aversive China would fit in well with the non-capitalist development framework. This study shows that from 2100 B.C. to A.D. 1900, the Chinese were as enthusiastic about and capable of seagoing activities as other peoples. But maritime activities in China raise two paradoxes: these activities were incompatible with the agrarian dominance of the Chinese premodern economy, and there was a huge gap between Chinese maritime potential and maritime growth.

Reviews
"Gang Deng's sweeping monograph departs from this pattern, successfully reassessing the place of the sea in Chinese history over a period of three thousand years. ...[T]he book should certainly compel a productive debate on the role of north and south, steppe and sea in the historical development of China. Deng's case for the importance of the sea in Chinese history is arresting, cumulative, and in the end quite convincing. ...Deng has written an impressive book with implications that extend well beyond the central thesis. ...I found his work full of relevant data and stimulating arguements about China's myriad interconnections with a much wider world. In sum, this a serious contribution to the ongoing effects to fathom the full extent and consequences of commercial, cultural, and biological interchange in the Old World, whether land-bound or seaborne." The International History Review, "Deng succeeds admirably in suggesting the importance of maritime activities of the overall development of China, a question strangely under-researched in Western languages....Chinese Maritime Activities is an intriguing and convenient introduction to Chinese economic maritime history....Ýh¨e deserves credit for posing and important question of broad significance."-International Journal of Martime History, "Deng succeeds admirably in suggesting the importance of maritime activities of the overall development of China, a question strangely under-researched in Western languages....Chinese Maritime Activities is an intriguing and convenient introduction to Chinese economic maritime history....[h]e deserves credit for posing and important question of broad significance." International Journal of Martime History, "This study is of great value to China scholars because it provides a detailed synthesis of the major topics in Chinese maritime development over a long period of time. It includes excellent maps of China's coastal contours, seasonal current and wind patterns, and pan-Asian sea routes, as well as helpful illustrations of coastal and ocean-going vessels. It also provides a carefully selected, comprehensive, and up-to-date bibliography that includes works by east Asian as well as Western scholars. Particularly valuable are Deng's incisive explanations of unique features of Chinese navigational technology, such as axial and movable rudders, broad stem and stern constructions, multi-deck and multi-hold structures, and sail and rigging configurations....This book provides both the China scholar and the general reader with an excellent, well-written treatment of the grand span of Chinese maritime history."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
