In contrast to most histories of the Silk Roads, the focus of this book clearly lies on the maritime Silk Road and on the period between Tang and high Qing, selecting aspects that have so far been neglected in research on the history of China's relations with the outside world. The author examines, for example, the power alliance between the Tang and the Arabs during Tang times, the specific role of fanbing 蕃兵 (frontier tribal troops) during Song times, the interrelationship between maritime commerce, military expansion, and environmental factors during the Yuan, the question of whether or not early Ming China can be considered a (proto-)colonialist country, the role force and violence played during the Zheng He expeditions, and what role of the Asia-Pacific world played for late Ming and early Qing rulers.  aEnglish 0aChinaxCommercexHistory. 0aChinaxRelationsxHistory.08iPrint version:tChina and the Silk Roads (ca. 100 BC to 1800 AD) : Role and Content of its Historical Access to the Outside World.dLeiden ; Boston : Brill, 2023.z9789004516120 0aAsian Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2023. 0aCrossroads - History of Interactions across the Silk Routes ;v6.4 uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1163/9789004523722
