In a brisk revisionist history, William Rowe challenges the standard narrative of Qing China as a decadent, inward-looking state that failed to keep pace with the modern West.
The Great Qing was the second major Chinese empire ruled by foreigners. Three strong Manchu emperors worked diligently to secure an alliance with the conquered Ming gentry, though many of their social edicts—especially the requirement that ethnic Han men wear queues—were fiercely resisted. As advocates of a “universal” empire, Qing rulers also achieved an enormous expansion of the Chinese realm over the course of three centuries, including the conquest and incorporation of Turkic and Tibetan peoples in the west, vast migration into the southwest, and the colonization of Taiwan.
Despite this geographic range and the accompanying social and economic complexity, the Qing ideal of “small government” worked well when outside threats were minimal. But the nineteenth-century Opium Wars forced China to become a player in a predatory international contest involving Western powers, while the devastating uprisings of the Taiping and Boxer rebellions signaled an urgent need for internal reform. Comprehensive state-mandated changes during the early twentieth century were not enough to hold back the nationalist tide of 1911, but they provided a new foundation for the Republican and Communist states that would follow.
This original, thought-provoking history of China’s last empire is a must-read for understanding the challenges facing China today.

读后感
第一本看过的西方汉学家撰述的中国史，感觉是典型的学院派专著。虽然有点不想承认，清朝确实作为一个帝国存在于东亚，并深刻影响了周边的国家。或许由于现代史学经常强调中国近代所遭受的耻辱的缘故。 中国朝庭与其接邻之政体间维持着正式的外交接触，但存在着彻底的不对等与霸...
评分最近几年，读书越发不求甚解了。花了几天功夫，这本书也只读了一半，越往后，读得越粗粗不堪。 作为一本通史下的朝代史，本书的写法确实有独到之处，与国内的政治史模式差异颇大。怎么看，都觉得是社会史融入了政治史，对清朝整个社会能有一个更加清晰的认识。然而其行文、其翻...

评分哈佛中国史的最后一部，终于看完了，给自己个赞，第一次看这样的的历史大部头，非常有意思。 大清的建立非常的巧合，满族的崛起，明朝的没落，明末代皇帝的错误，恶劣的气候，李自成突袭都城，吴三桂的反叛，种种历史事件的“合作”，使得中国再次被异族统治。中国在元和清分别...
评分清朝是距离现代中国最近的一个帝制王朝，也是我们对于中国历史了解最多的一个朝代，清史因其与近现代中国史的承继性而得到越来越多人的关注与研究。而对于这段历史的研究也对于现代中国发展的思路不无裨益。 在《最后的中华帝国：大清》中，作者罗威廉依然选取了政治制...
