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
清朝成为中国封建制度的最后一个帝国。从1644年清军入关到1911年清朝灭亡，满洲人统治天下268年，也是少数民族入住中原时间最长的一个。《哈佛中国史06•最后的中华帝国：大清》以全面的视角看一个帝国从封建制度逐渐打开国门，与世界接近。 作者罗威廉，当代美国最有影响的...
評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...
評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...
評分大清帝国是曾立基于今日中国地区的政治实体中最庞大的一个。比起其在1644年取而代之的明帝国，清帝国的疆域是明代的两倍多，而人口则超过明代的三倍，至清末已达到5亿之多。在清帝国内不只有视自己为“中国人”的人群，亦有许多过去从未整合进中国王朝政体中的族群，包括西藏人...
評分不要被书名吓到，其实是并不长的一本书。大概是文化传统差异，中国人写历史喜欢饱含情感的以人物和事件为线索一条条写下来。外国人写中国历史或许因为其理性思维，或许是因为旁观者的立场，更像是手术刀式的解剖，俯瞰，注重功能和细节。举几个有意思的点: 其一，作者认为17.18...
