This series focuses on the history of population and economic development, tracing the interrelationship between economic development and population changes from prehistoric times through the Pre-Qin period, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Wei, Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties, the Song, Liao, Xia, and Jin dynasties, the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, all the way to modern times. It seeks to uncover the fundamental rule underlying this evolution. The book provides an overview of the social and economic history of various dynasties, including agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, transportation, currency systems, and taxation systems. It serves as an encyclopedia of China's economic history across dynasties and summarizes the patterns of population changes throughout history, offering valuable historical insights for contemporary population management and policymaking. The fields involved are branches of the emerging and interdisciplinary field of population economics, specifically population economic history. This work embodies the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture and fills a gap in the publication of population economic history in China.
