Features: This book is a theoretical monograph on the history of salt production in the Three Gorges region. It is divided into three main parts: the formation of salt resources in the Three Gorges region during geological times and its relationship with early human activities, the salt policies of different dynasties and the salt industry in the Three Gorges, and the changes in the salt industry in the Three Gorges during the 20th century. The book provides a detailed introduction to the development process of the salt industry in the Three Gorges, making it suitable for researchers and students in the field of salt industry development. The rich salt resources in the Three Gorges region have had a very clear impact and driving effect on the economic development and social changes of the area. However, due to insufficient documentary materials and a lack of archaeological findings, people's understanding of the historical context and development status of the salt industry economy in the Three Gorges region has remained fragmented and unclear for a long time, despite the arduous efforts made by experts in this field.
