Volumes seven and eight of The Cambridge History of China are
devoted to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), the only segment of later
imperial history during which all of China proper was ruled by a
native, or Han, dynasty. These volumes provide the largest and most
detailed account of the Ming period in any language. Summarising
all mode research, volume eight offers detailed studies of
govemental structure, the fiscal and legal systems, inteational
relations, social and economic history, transportation networks,
and the history of ideas and religion, incorporating original
research on subjects never before described in detail. Although it
is written by specialists, this Cambridge History intends to
explain and describe the Ming dynasty to general readers who do not
have a specialised knowledge of Chinese history, as well as
scholars and students. This volume can be utilised as a reference
work, or read continuously.
