From the sixteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century, Huizhou, a historic region in present-day Anhui Province in China, was characterised by long-term social stability and prosperity. Even during times of war and unrest, Huizhou was able to quickly restore order. This study explores the reasons for this stability and its significant relevance and implications for contemporary society. Based on the author's previous research and detailed analysis of historical materials such as local gazetteers, genealogies, contracts, inscriptions, archives, etc., the book examines the internal and external reasons for Huizhou's "hyper" social stability over the past four centuries. It offers in-depth and novel insights into the characteristics of Huizhou society and the mechanisms behind its internal structure. Through case studies of Huizhou's rural areas, the book reveals the patterns of autonomy in the countryside.
The set will appeal to scholars and students of Chinese history, social and economic history of modern China, as well as readers interested in China's transition to modernity.
