  After this, they divided their Army into two parts; the one they ſent to conquer the Mediterranean Provinces of Kiangſi, Huquang, & Quangtung, which are all of a marvellous extent; the other like a ſwift Torrent, over-run all, till they came to the very Walls of the renowned and vaſt City of Hangcheu, which is the head City of the Province of Chekiang.
- 1938, Robert Berkov, Strong Man of China: The Story of Chiang Kai-shek‎, Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, OCLC 715047820, page 17:
  Chiang was then given command of a regiment, and led three thousand men to Hangchow, Wenchow, and Taichow, all in his native province of Chekiang. His exploits sounded impressive, but the truth was that he encountered practically no opposition. As soon as a force was led against a town, imperial authority collapsed. Officials resigned or fled, and revolutionary leaders, mostly military, assumed authority. The progress was gratifying but hardly exciting.
- 1982, Grant Maxwell, Assignment in Chekiang‎, Thorn Press Limited, page 8:
  Whatever their individual views on how best to evangelize, life for the Scarboro men and Grey Sisters in Chekiang province rarely unfolded as they had hoped. And soon after the Marxist People's Republic was proclaimed in 1949, all their proselytizing activities came to an end.
- 1986, James H. Cole, Shaohsing: Competition and Cooperation in Nineteenth-Century China‎, University of Arizona Press, page 76:
  After the Taiping war northern Chekiang as a whole, and its rich alluvium in particular, immediately attracted immigrants from overcrowded Ningpo and Shaohsing prefectures. Land-hungry peasants from other coastal prefectures, T'ai-chou and Wen-chou, soon joined ranks with Ningpo and Shaohsing peasants and settled first in the delta of Chia-hsing prefecture and then in the valleys and low hills of Hang-chou and Hu-chou prefectures.
- 2015, Richard Overy, editor, The Oxford Illustrated History of World War II‎, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, LCCN 2014946123, OCLC 942717184, page 340:
  The Japanese also spread anthrax and typhoid, and contaminated water sources in Chekiang province, leading to the deaths of many thousands of Chinese as epidemics took their toll in the region in 1942 and 1943.
