Acknowlegdments
I owe a debt of gratitude to many individuals for their help and support in preparing this book, especially to Professor Jiang Yiqun, the author's wife for her many useful suggestions and for her close scrutiny of the manuscript, and
to Zhu Yu and Zhu Li, the author's daughters for their wholehearted participation.
I also desire to record my especial thanks to China Travel & Tourism Press, and their whole-hearted support for my work has helped to make this new, more fully illustrated edition possible. This book is vastly better to their help. Its errors and shortcomings are sole my own.
