Features: Many dynasties in Chinese history were established by ethnic minorities, among which the Qing Dynasty, established by the Manchu people, was the most successful. The Qing Dynasty ruled China for 268 years, during which it made significant contributions to the expansion of China's territory, the integration of ethnic groups, and the preservation and promotion of Chinese culture. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty was the last imperial era in China and also a transitional period when China underwent changes from old to new, from strong to weak, from independence to semi-colonialism, and from autocracy to democracy. It played a pivotal role in connecting the past and the future in the history of China. This book collects over 60 essays, including topics such as Qing emperors, cultural and intellectual thought, socio-economy, Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu people and the Manchu language, archives, and documents, making it a comprehensive and diverse collection.
