SHASI

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 812 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHASI , a city in the province of Hu-peh, China, on the left bank of the river Yangtsze, about 85 m. below Ich'ang. Pop. about 8o,000. It was opened to foreign
trade
  under the Japanese treaty of 1895. The town lies below the summer level of the Yangtsze, from which it is protected by a strong embankment. Formerly Shasi was a
great
  distributing centre, but the opening of. Ich'ang to foreign
trade
  diverted much of the
traffic
  to the last-named port. It is the terminus of an extensive network of canals which run through the low country lying on the north bank of the Yangtsze as far down as Hankow. Native boats, as a
rule
 , prefer the canal route to the turbulent waters of the Yangtsze, their cargoes being transhipped at Shasi across the embankment into river boats. Foreign residents are few, and the trade passing through the maritime customs is comparatively insignificant. The place is still, however, a large distributing centre for native trade, and is the seat of an extensive manufacture of native
cotton
 
cloth
 . The British consulate was withdrawn in January 1899, British interests being placed under the care of the
consul
  at Ich'ang.
