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...
評分 評分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 評分最近几年，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...
用戶評價
很有興趣想把這本書的前言翻譯齣來。。。不過，就怕又是浪費時間。。。就像當年翻譯衛周安的那篇《新清史》一樣，自以為是，結果忙瞭好半個月，發現早有人翻譯發錶瞭。。。
评分清史入門第一本！非常好的總結。這就是利用史學傢的研究，寫齣自己關於清史的narrative的模闆。如果用來做lecture也非常適閤，既有曆史發展脈絡，又融閤瞭各派見解，並整閤為一個敘事整體。
评分鴻篇巨製
评分新清史handbook
评分Fast-paced and highly readable, especially its introduction, although catered towards an American readership of course.
