Four vols. Tall 8vo, orig. wrappers, orig. title-slips (first one not present), orig. stitching. Beijing: Zhongguo di xue hui ?????, 1929. First edition of this collection of writings by one of the pioneers of Chinese geographical studies. Zhang Xiangwen (1867-1933) was from a poor family in Jiangsu and made a living as a teacher. One of the subjects Zhang taught was geography, and he did so at a time when this field of study did not have a formalized curriculum or established scholarly organizations in China. To bring disparate geographers like himself in contact with each other, Zhang in 1909 founded the "Chinese Society for the Study of the Earth" (Zhongguo dixue hui), which published our book. Zhang remained at the helm of the organization until 1930 (Wang, Zhongguo dizhi renming lu, 93). Meanwhile, Zhang was a member of parliament and itinerant geographer, conducting fieldwork in the northwest and the south. The contents of our book are varied and reflects Zhang s interests far beyond geography. In addition to essays like "Examination of the Great Wall" (Changcheng kao ???) and "Record on the New Headquarters of the Society for the Study of the Earth" (Dixue hui xinzhi huisuo ji ????????), we find a number of biographies and an "Examination on whether the Buddha and Confucius Were Contemporaries" (Fo yu Kongzi bingshi kao ???????). Among the longer works in the collection we note Yel� Chucai xiyou lu jin shi ????????? [Modern Explanations to "Yel� Chucai s Record of a Journey to the West"]. Yel� Chucai (1190-1244) was a Khitan adviser to Genghis Khan, who accompanied the latter in his campaign against Persia. Zhang Xiangwen separately investigated the tomb of Genghis Khan, the record of which is also included in our book. Fine set, preserved in a hantao. Our edition is rare.
