Summary

  • This work is bound in accordion pleat-like leaves, in 15 folded sheets. The illustrations show the locations of flood prevention works along the Yellow River in Henan Province.

A number of paper slips are attached to 18 locations, with explanations of the challenges of river work at these locations and descriptions of accidents that occurred during this work in the Jiaqing and Daoguang period (1796--1850) of the Qing dynasty. This work provides useful information on flood protection and river-conservancy work in China in this period.
