1908, Hosea Ballou Morse, The Trade And Administration Of The Chinese Empire, Longmans, Green, and Co., pages 322–323:Starting from Hangchow the canal goes by Kashing to Soochow, a distance of 100 miles, and thence by Wusih and Changchow through long straight stretches to Chinkiang, another 100 miles. It is here unlike our preconceived ideas of a canal—a current-less water-way barely wide enough to allow two streams of boats to pass each other—and has often a width of over a hundred feet between its sides, faced in many parts of its course with cut stone bunding.
1937, Liu Tuan-sheng, “A Farm Management Study of 3,412 Peasant Families in Kashing”, in Quarterly Review of the Sun Yat-sen Institute, volume IV, number 2, Shanghai; reprinted as “Oxen and Buffaloes in Relation to the Size of Farms”, in Agrarian China: Selected Source Materials From Chinese Authors, London: George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., 1939, page 65:The field investigation of farm management covering 4,312 peasant families in Kashing during the year 1935 was carried out under the auspices of the Agricultural College of Chekiang University, and it is from the result of this scientific work that the following report on agricultural animals has been compiled. Situated near the northern border of Chekiang, Kashing is the centre of a fertile agricultural region and is connected with Shanghai and Soochow by railways. The city of Kashing is at the apex of an equilateral triangle at the other two points of which are Shanghai and Soochow, and it is midway between these cities and Hangchow.
