Features: The content of this book delves into the level of ideological concepts, analyzing the understanding of disasters and famine (famine consciousness) among various stages, strata, and political factions in late Qing society. It also examines the institutional level, specifically discussing the disaster prevention and relief mechanisms of the late Qing regime. The book explores the interactive relationship between disasters and politics from both directions, revealing the political causes of frequent disasters in late Qing and describing the significant impacts severe natural disasters had on the late Qing political landscape. Whether the answers to these questions are clear, profound, and convincing should be judged and reviewed by the readers.
