Why were local climates described in late imperial China – and how? Local elites used gazetteers to carve out their place within China’s cultural space. Among their varied contents were essays on climate, found prominently in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. This presentation argues that climate sections in early Qing-era gazetteers can be analysed from the perspective of early science. Taken together, they constitute a remarkable effort to understand local climates. The essays involve serious studies based on textual analysis, folk knowledge, observations and comparisons. They often demonstrate an acute understanding of how geographical features like mountains, the sea and altitude affect climates. Through these efforts, they made an important contribution to early modern understandings of local climates in China. These texts must at the same time be understood through their relation to local identity. They clearly tied climates to landscapes and customs: faced with outsiders’ stereotypes, South Chinese scholars wished to explain their local climates as different, yet liveable.
