Features: This is the first monograph in China to conduct a panoramic study of travelogues. From the perspective of bibliology, the author redefines travelogues, which are often regarded as literary sketches, and dedicates considerable space to discussing the creation, compilation, and publication of travelogue literature from the Pre-Qin period to the Republic of China. The book clearly outlines the landscape of two thousand years of travelogue literature and highlights its multifaceted academic and cultural value. Additionally, the author integrates current tourism development research to explore travelogue literature, proposing ideas for its organization and development. The book also includes two important bibliographies at the end: "An Index of Travelogues" and "A Catalog of Republican-Era Travelogues." This book is well-structured, logically sound, rich in content, and written in a clear and fluent style, making it a valuable reference for researchers in fields such as tourism management, tourism culture, bibliology, literature, and publishing history.
