Author: C.P. FitzGerald.
Title: The Northern Marches of Yunnan.
Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1943.


Notes: A fascinating travel account describing Chinese colonies gradually encroaching on Tibet and culturally ambiguous villages, remarking on thievery, communism and prejudice. An illumination of the subtle and gradual impact from Chinese migration into Tibet. FitzGerald was reputed for his long sojourn in Western China and the valuable elucudations with which he returned, specifically on the making of the Yunnan-Burma road, and on the Tali District of Western Yunnan. On this expedition, he explores further into the Yunnan, in the winter of 1937, starting in Tali, a city accessible from the Burma Road. He travels north to Tibet and as far as Likiang, then making a diversion loop of the Yangtze and traversing the Great gorge between Yu Lung Shan and Ha Pa Shan. He then follows the main Tea road, an ancient trade route, a long and arduous route in Yunnan, where the valleys were often too precipitous to follow, often having to climb to the crest of the ridge and detour around the spectacular narrow gorges. This volume also includes a 2-page narrative on the languages and dialects in China, with a double-page linguistic sketch map of China.

Coalesced Chinese-Tibetan Culture and Economy!

Excerpts from the text: "The Chinese of Yunnan and Szechwan hold themselves to be a race far superior to the Tibetans, whom they regard with a tolerant contemptas semi-savages." ...."Weisi, the last Chinese settlement in Yunnan, for all points farther north or west are inhabited by Tibetans or Li Su, was founded as a garrison town, and still retains this character. The walls, though no doubt adequate in their day against Li Su tribesmen or Tibetan raiders, are now more symbolic than practical.".... "It does not appear that apart from the building of fortified cities such as Weisi, the Chinese have actively taken steps to evict the Tibetan population. End excerpts.


Condition: 8 pages, including 1 full-page sketch map. Plus black and white plates. Paper is in Excellent Condition. Attractively bound booklet style in recent blue paper covers with label.
