The existing literature on rural China characterizes socioeconomic diversity as a uniquely regional phenomenon: north versus south, coastal versus inland, urban versus rural. I hope to show that within one suburban township of twenty-three contiguous villages, there are also large variations among villages, including wide differences in size, lineage structure, economic activities, and levels of well-being. Furthermore, these village differences are intimately linked to historical variations which are just as striking. The remnants of the old southern Grand Canal, now just little more than a trickle, runs through the township, dividing it virtually in two. In addition to being a geographic division, the river seems to be a major socioeconomic dividing line: most of the villages on the southeast side have higher levels of well being while those on the northwest side are less prosperous.

520 $a The existing literature on rural China characterizes socioeconomic diversity as a uniquely regional phenomenon: north versus south, coastal versus inland, urban versus rural. I hope to show that within one suburban township of twenty-three contiguous villages, there are also large variations among villages, including wide differences in size, lineage structure, economic activities, and levels of well-being. Furthermore, these village differences are intimately linked to historical variations which are just as striking. The remnants of the old southern Grand Canal, now just little more than a trickle, runs through the township, dividing it virtually in two. In addition to being a geographic division, the river seems to be a major socioeconomic dividing line: most of the villages on the southeast side have higher levels of well being while those on the northwest side are less prosperous.
520 $a This dissertation uses enthnographic and survey data to explore village socioeconomic differences in 1994--1995 using local definitions of village and villager well-being as the basic point of comparison. A novel methodological technique makes it possible to move from detailed household survey data to more general village-level indicators available in existing village accountant records. Village-level data are then used to examine the more important historical, social and geographic reasons for why, in 1994, village variations in well-being exist.
