Suzhou Chronicle (Ancient)

Author: Wang Jianhua
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 1999-08-01
Features: The history of Suzhou is long-standing; the culture of Suzhou is brilliant. Such rich historical and cultural knowledge of Suzhou can hardly be adequately introduced in a mere 100,000 words. Therefore, this book can only adopt a "strong trunk, weak branches" approach to provide a concise overview of Suzhou's history and culture. In terms of the subjects covered, it focuses on introducing figures, events, and cultural phenomena that took place in the urban area and suburbs of Suzhou and had a significant impact on the development of its history and culture. As for the counties under Suzhou, such as Taicang, Kunshan, Changshu, and Wujiang, they are basically not covered.
