Consumption in Late Imperial China: an Early Modern Phenomenon?

中国目前的经济增长和消费活动直接关系到澳大利亚的利益。这项对前几个世纪消费活动的研究将有助于揭示中国消费在漫长的全球化时代的变化和连续性。该项目将为澳大利亚研究中国和世界历史的学术语料库做出贡献，增进当地和全球对中国过去的了解，并丰富人们对他的想象。

China's present economic growth and consumer activity are of immediate interest to Australia. This study of consumer activities in earlier centuries will shed light on changes as well as continuities in Chinese consumption in a long era of globalization. The project will contribute to the corpus of Australian scholarship on Chinese and world history, enhancing local and global understandings of China's past, and enriching ways in which it is imagined.
