520 _a"La grande artère de la Chine: le Yangtseu" by Joseph Dautremer is a comprehensive geographical and cultural account written in the late 19th century. This work details the Yangtze River and its significance, exploring its extensive basin while offering insights into the various regions it traverses along with their commerce, climate, and the character of their inhabitants. Dautremer, as the author and a consul, provides unique observations that blend personal experience with scholarly research. The opening of the book begins by introducing the Yangtze River (Yang-Tseu-Kiang), heralded as the most important waterway in China. Dautremer describes its source, navigation systems, and the provinces it nourishes, creating a detailed portrait of the river's geography. He discusses the river's navigability, the various tributaries, and the risks associated with traversing the upper stretches of the Yangtze. Furthermore, the narrative touches on the economic and agricultural characteristics of the provinces flanking the river, emphasizing their reliance on rice cultivation and the intricate relationship between the river and local communities.
