Abstract
Using local history to contest the discourse of the national history of China is problematic since the historical record treats localities in terms of administrative units, Nevertheless there was also a view of national history that began from physical rather than administrative geography. In addition localities shared social, economic and cultural networks that were trans-local. The China Historical GIS provides a means to study the national from the perspective of the history of localities.
