In this volume Guo Yongqin provides an overview of the most important taxes, land and labor tax, in Imperial Qing China (1644-1912). The previously unpublished fiscal sources presented in this volume give a tremendous amount of information about Qing society and economy, like the bureaucratic system, political institutions, economic inequality, and environmental conditions. The data is accompanied by a detailed introduction, offering a valuable resource for further research on how the standardized tax system performed and affected the Qing regime.
Guo Yongqin, Ph.D. (2016), Fudan University, is Associate Professor at Guangzhou University / Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. His research focusses on economic history and historical geography.
