“[This book] presents a panorama of maritime Quanzhou of coastal China between the tenth and fourteenth centuries and its trans-cultural character of this legendary port. The author applies a maritime paradigm and a diachronic approach to relating the maritime past of Quanzhou with its modern revival in the globalization context.”—Dr. Doudou Diene, Chair of the Board of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, Former Director of the UNESCO Division of Intercultural and Inter-Religious Dialogue and Coordinator of the UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue
