书籍简介

在一部轻快的修正主义历史中，威廉-罗挑战了关于清朝中国是一个颓废、内向的国家，未能跟上现代西方步伐的标准叙述。

大清是第二个由外国人统治的主要中国帝国。三位强大的满族皇帝努力工作，以确保与被征服的明朝贵族结盟，尽管他们的许多社会法令--特别是要求汉族男子穿上队服--受到了激烈的抵制。作为 "普世 "帝国的倡导者，清朝统治者还在三个世纪的时间里实现了中国领域的巨大扩张，包括征服和纳入西部的突厥和藏族，向西南地区，以及进行殖民统治。

尽管有这样的地理范围和随之而来的社会和经济的复杂性，清朝 "小政府 "的理想在外部威胁的时候运作良好。但十九世纪的战争迫使中国成为西方列强参与的掠夺性国际竞争中的一员，义和团的破坏性起义则表明迫切需要进行内部改革。二十世纪初由国家授权的改革不足以抵挡1911年的民族主义浪潮，但它们为后来的共产党国家提供了一个新的基础。

这部关于中国一个帝国的原创性、发人深省的历史，是了解今天中国所面临的挑战的之作。

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 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 Xizang's 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 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 that would follow.

This original, thought-provoking history of China's last empire is a must-read for understanding the challenges facing China today.
