The Age of Hungry: Gains and Losses in the Qianlong Era
About This Novel
The content of this book mainly writes about the gains and losses of the Qianlong era. Through the deconstruction of the Qianlong era, the author paints a colorful picture of the "prosperous age" for readers, and at the same time profoundly reveals the lost secrets of modern China. China under Qianlong's rule was the most populous and most powerful period in China's thousands of years of history. Horizontally, it was the most powerful and wealthy country in the world at that time. It is no exaggeration to call it the greatest prosperous era in Chinese history. The Qianlong era created unprecedented political stability, supported an unprecedented population, and established today's territory. However, the author sees from a deeper level that behind the superficial prosperity is a huge crisis. Qianlong's sixty-year reign coincided with Britain going through the entire process of the industrial revolution.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China has been running in the opposite direction to the general trend of the world. Especially due to the efforts of several accomplished emperors in the Qing Dynasty, China has accelerated its decline. The scientific spirit of rationalism in modern society is getting further and further away from us. The people still haven't woken up yet!
The Age of Hungry has too little data and is more like a summary of unofficial history.
To be honest, I still think Qianlong was the greatest emperor, and he also deserved to be the greatest emperor. He was wise and shrewd, had a photographic memory, and was full of ideals. He regarded the emperor as a great honor and position, and persisted in getting up early for many years to go to court to review memorials. He was strict in overall governance, and he himself used the highest requirements to restrain himself. When it came to the emperor, he was serious and responsible. Under the background of the dynasty at that time, although it left many hidden dangers for future generations, the prosperous age of Qianlong is still an indelible fact.
Real historical insights into the present
We can get a lot of insights about reality from history. Reading history makes people wise. It is true. I have too many insights and I am too lazy to talk about them one by one. The book is particularly good.
You can observe this emperor intuitively from the side. This emperor's behavior was not like that of the Manchus.
Quiet Drinker
The last glory of China's feudal society, the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk.
So well written, so well written.
Good reading, good reading, good reading, good reading.
One of the books recommended by Nanfengchuang, this book is a bit thick overall.
Learn more about the history of the Qing Dynasty.
