"By tracing the development of the Key Economic Area through an historical study of the construction of irrigation and flood-control works and transport canals, [this work] aims to show the function of the Key Economic Area as an instrument of control of subordinate areas and as a weapon of political struggle, to indicate how it shifts, to reveal its dymanic relation to the problem of unity and division in Chinese history, and to give, on the basis of this approach, a concrete and historical descriptive analysis of one phase of the economic development of China."
