The Formation of China's Modern Diplomat Group (1861-1911)
by Li Wenjie
About This Novel
Officials engaged in Western-style diplomacy in modern times came from the imperial examination. How did they "adapt" to the new "profession" of diplomacy? How to understand the operation methods and characteristics of the Qing Dynasty's diplomatic institutions? From the Qing Dynasty archives, the author examines the biographical data of the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and foreign officials, and examines a series of issues such as their origins, selection, promotion, whereabouts, and group evolution. The author constructs and displays the entire process of the late Qing diplomats from their origin and development to the formation of the so-called "professional" diplomat group. "Diplomats" are a poorly researched group, and the study of this book lays the foundation for future research on the diplomatic history of the late Qing Dynasty.
