Preface
This database of prices, wages, and transport costs in public
construction in Yunnan province in the Qianlong reign has been set up
in cooperation of the Seminar
für Sinologie und Koreanistik, Eberhard
Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany, and the Institute for History of
Natural Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. The
participants
of our project group were Chen Chaoyong and Su Rongyu from Beijing, and
Christine Moll-Murata and Hans Ulrich Vogel from Tübingen. We
gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Max Planck
Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V., Germany.
Data input was done by Zhang Songmei. Christine Moll-Murata and Chen
Chaoyong helped with translations. Our thanks go to Mrs. Wang Chunyan
(Duisburg) who proof-read all data. The database has more than
2,800 entries.
In case English terms for building materials remain to be clarified,
Hanyu pinyin is given as a preliminary rendering. An English-Chinese
glossary for all occurring terms is under construction.
The Harvard-Yenching Library kindly provided us with a copy of this
edition. It is an official printing in ten chapters which carries the
same editorial material as the Gansu and the Zhili editions. The second
prefatory memorial gives the date 20th day of the XII month of Qianlong
33 (Jan. 27, 1769). This work covers 23 prefectures and 72 districts.
Comments and suggestions are welcome at sinologie@uni-tuebingen.de.
