According to recent archaeological discoveries, the history of Taihe County may date back to the western Zhou dynasty. Readers of English who are interested in this county should read John W. Dardess, A Ming Society: T'ai-ho County, Kiangsi, in the Fourteenth to Seventeenth Centuries (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996). The book was preceded by a number of articles about the county, including John W Dardess, "A Ming Landscape: Settlement, Land Use, Labor, and Estheticism in T'ai-ho County, Jiangxi," Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies 49.1 (1989): 295-364.
