This book explores on the relationship between human activities and the environment throughout Chinese history, presenting an interdisciplinary study that combines historical geography with fields such as climate, agriculture, economics, politics, transportation, and urban studies. Sharing groundbreaking insights into the geographic basis of China's boundary changes, the long-standing debates over the start and end of the warm and cold periods in the last 2000 years, and the relationship between the shifting economic center and migration patterns, it will help readers gain a foundational understanding of research in Chinese historical geography, while also highlighting critical moments in, and the evolution of, diversified human-environment relations in China.
