Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Qing dynasty (16361912)a crucial bridge between traditional and modern Chinawas remarkable for its expansiveness and cultural sophistication. This engaging and insightful history of Qing political, social, and cultural life traces the complex interaction between the Inner Asian traditions of the Manchus, who conquered China in 1644, and indigenous Chinese cultural traditions. Noted historian Richard J. Smith argues that the pragmatic Qing emperors presented a Chinese face to their subjects who lived south of the Great Wall and other ethnic faces (particularly Manchu, Mongolian, Central Asian, and Tibetan) to subjects in other parts of their vast multicultural empire. They were attracted by many aspects of Chinese culture, but far from being completely sinicized as many scholars argue, they were also proud of their own cultural traditions and interested in other cultures as well.Setting Qing dynasty culture in historical and global perspective, Smith shows how the Chinese of the era viewed the world; how their outlook was expressed in their institutions, material culture, and customs; and how Chinas preoccupation with order, unity, and harmony contributed to the civilizations remarkable cohesiveness and continuity. Nuanced and wideranging, his authoritative book provides an essential introduction to late imperial Chinese culture and society.
