Encyclopaedic Writings on Political Economy -- Helping Our People “to Jointly Hurry Along the Path to Civilization”: The Everyday Cyclopaedia, Riyong baike quanshu -- China’s New Encyclopaedia and Their Readers -- Studies on the Characteristics of Late Qing Encyclopaedia Entries -- List of encyclopaedic works studied in this volume.
This is a set of pioneering studies on Chinese encyclopaedias of modern knowledge (1870-1930). At a transitional time when modern knowledge was sought after yet few modern schools were available, these works were crucial sources of information for an entire generation. This volume investigates many of these encyclopaedias, which were never reprinted and are hardly known even to specialists, for the first time. The contributors to this collection all specialize in the period in question and have worked together for a number of years. The resulting studies show that these encyclopaedias open a unique window onto the migration and ordering systems of knowledge across cultural and linguistic borders.
