Ancient towns in China were founded primarily for trade purposes, whereas ancient cities placed more emphasis on political and military functions. The development of the ancient towns in this book was driven by many different forces, including government (Cicheng Town, Wangye Town), temples (Shangqing Town, Sajia Town), rich and powerful families (Anren Town, Longmen Town), military (Huiyuan Town, Shaohua Town), and revolutionary (Huangqiao Town, Gutian Town.)
