 note = {Because of networks of waterways developed in the lower regions of the Yangtze River in China, traveling by boat was often considered more convenient than traveling by land, a fact that was indicated by the old saying "by horse in the north, by boat in the south." As a result, wooden sailing ships were often used in the region, but the scene changed at the end of the 19th century as modern paddle-wheel steamers, i.e. steamships, appeared. Many steamship companies were also founded during this time.
In year 24 of Kuang Hsu's reign (1898), the Qing Dynasty noted the need for small steamers to navigate inland waterways such as canals; English and American shipping companies and the Dynasty’s China Merchant's Steam Navigation Co. began operating with small steamers, and the steamship shipping business took off in the inland waterways of the lower Yangtze. Records on Jiaxing revealed that the situation had changed little with the advent of the Chinese Republic.},
