China boasts a rich and illustrious history of foreign trade, dating back to ancient times. As early as the pre-Qin period, the country's residents embarked on outbound voyages, transporting silk and other valuable merchandise. The establishment of the Overland Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty marked a significant milestone in connecting China with the rest of the world.

Over the centuries, trade relations between China and other regions have undergone a gradual and continuous development. Trade has played a pivotal role in fostering economic and cultural exchanges between China and its counterparts across the globe. While benefiting the entire human race, Chinese civilization has also assimilated the achievements of other civilizations, resulting in mutual benefits and shared progress for China and other nations.

This first volume in a series of books serves as a comprehensive account of China's foreign trade, spanning from the pre-Qin period to the early era of the Qing Dynasty. It provides a detailed exploration of the historical, economic, and cultural factors that shaped China's engagement with the outside world, highlighting the significant contributions made by various dynasties and empires.

Through this series, readers will gain a deeper understanding of China's foreign trade and its profound impact on the world's history and development. The books will also serve as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in exploring the rich tapestry of China's global connections.
