The first volume examines the official names of the country given by the rulers or government, including the names of the imperial dynasties, from the earliest Xia to the last Qing, and the title of the Republic of China, which symbolises a new era in national naming.

The book also analyses the lifespan and spatial references of these national titles.This book will appeal to both academic and general readers interested in Chinese history, Chinese historical geography and Chinese toponymy.…
