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
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...
评分断断续续看了很久，昨天刚读完。罗威廉的清史最大的特点就是精要二字。 “精”当然说是简要。清朝近三百年的历史，全部浓缩在三百页不到的篇幅，而且它是将清朝当作一个整体来解读，而没有按通常1840年为界进行划分，描述了清朝由盛转衰的连续性。 “要”则说的是罗威廉选取...
评分本套系列始于秦朝公元前221年，止于清朝公元1912年，横跨2133年，治乱更替，分分合合，各色枭雄如流星般璀璨登场，闪耀一时一方，遮饰累累白骨万千，留下迷离的专属印记，更多则溶于悠远绵长的中华血脉。 历史事件有很多藏于永不可解的迷雾，历史观因人因事也在世代轮转，不变...

评分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...
