This essay outlines research that has occupied much of my time for the past several years. It concerns regional associations in traditional China, or what is known ashui-kuanortung-hsiang-hui. When I began this research, inspired in part by Ho Ping-ti's masterful survey (1966), I believed, as did Ho, that most of the stones on this particular field of knowledge had been turned.What remained to be done, it seemed to me, was to record the vicissitudes of these traditional associations in the modernizing atmosphere of early twentieth-century China. But the more I began to look into these associations-into the way they operated, what they implied about Chinese society, and how they seemed to put the countryside into the city-the less I felt I knew and the less I was satisfied with previous generalizations made about them
