Ancient Hong Kong according to Fang Zhizhong: Selected Historical Materials from Xin'an County Annals

Hong Kong is located on the coast of the South China Sea, far from the imperial court and not a strategic military location, so it rarely attracted the attention of historians in ancient times. To understand the ancient Hong Kong, local chronicles are the main source of textual information. There are several chronicles related to Hong Kong in history, but the most closely related to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region today is the "Xin'an County Chronicle". In addition to recording the people, events, places, and things of Xin'an County, the text also preserves many important local documents, which are of great help in reconstructing Hong Kong's history. This book was first published in early 2007. This revised edition by Joint Publishing (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. includes important additions and annotations by the editor, and is worth collecting by institutions and readers who care about Hong Kong's history.
