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.
具體描述
讀後感
话说夏天就拿这套哈佛中国史作为毕业礼物送学生，但直到春节期间才读了这套书的最后一本——不是读完了这套书，而是越过前面五本只读了这一本（家里的历史学专业人士说这一本还可以看看）。 （一） 我一直不喜欢中国近代史（原因对每一个中国人都不言自明），但此书关于中国近...
評分大清的历史被各种小说、宫廷剧毁的不像样，即时我们翻看国内主流的正规清史书籍，也多是帝王将相，名人功臣，尤其是晚清历史，随便找一个事件就可写成很多本书，如何通过一本书了解真正的清朝历史缩影，一直是一个难点。 忽略王侯将相，让历史回归社会 最近刚刚出版的《哈佛中...
評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...
評分整体上是一本海外汉学家关于清朝的综述，对于熟稔清史的人来说可能没有新意，但是对我收获很多。 写作视角上弱化政治军事，侧重从社会生活入手。其中还不乏和现在传统史观相比“颠覆”的观点，从经济，官僚选任角度分析清朝治理偏向“小政府”，中央在治理地方的时候下放一部分...
