This study presents a new spatial analytic method for mapping regional marketing systems of an entire civilization by focusing on China's High Qing period based on monthly grain price time series for 235 prefectures from 1736-1842. Network analyses of prefectural grain price time series and their cross-correlations detected eleven or twelve primary macro-markets. These empirically derived regions generally align with the Late Qing urban systems nested within physiographic macroregions as posited by Skinner (1977), but with some notable differences, especially in North China. This delineation of the traditional marketing systems of agrarian China applicable to a 107-year time span provides a baseline for measuring the subsequent effects of mechanized transportation on Chinese Civilization's further integration into the modern worldsystem.
