Features: This book is divided into four parts. After conducting typical analyses and specialized research on the prominent families of Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the author uses this as a starting point to sequentially explore important issues in Jiangnan's socio-economic history, such as Jiangnan towns and their economic problems, Jiangnan merchants and merchant guilds, and the social customs and folk traditions of Jiangnan. These topics are organically linked together with the prominent families as the main thread. The book is written in a fluent style, combining reliability, interest, and readability, making it a rare and excellent academic work that blends literature and history. It is highly worth reading.
