The Wooden Boat Transportation Along the Chuan River at the End of the Qing Dynasty

In the last stage of the Qing Dynasty, as Chongqing was opened as a commercial port, the development of the wooden boat transportation industry on the Chuan River was greatly promoted and the structure of goods that the wooden boats transported changed accordingly. The wooden boat transportation industryon the Chuan River thus entered a prosperous period. During this time, the wooden boats on the Chuan River were divided into the ships of flying flags and the likin ships. The ships of flying flags were the transport means of foreign invaders carrying on economic aggression. But the number and the freight volume of the likin ships greatly surpassed those of the ships of flying flags. The development of the wooden boat transportation industry on the Chuan River also promoted the development and formation of the wooden boat gunwale organization on the Chuan River, which made a positive contribution to the development of Sichuan economy.
