About This Novel
Professor Wei Feide, one of the "Three Masters of American Sinology", has a classic work on modern Chinese history! A detailed analysis of the process by which the Chinese Empire gradually established order, became powerful, fell into trouble, and established order again. "The Decline of the Chinese Empire" is a modern Chinese history textbook adopted by many universities in the United States. The text is concise and smooth, and the content is easy to understand. The manuscript is different from the chronological narrative of traditional general history. It starts from the three groups of farmers, gentry, and merchants who constitute the main structure of traditional society, and analyzes in detail the process of how the Chinese empire established order step by step, became strong, fell into trouble, and established order again. In terms of the historical periodization of modern Chinese history, Wei Feide adopts the views of North American sinologists. The narrative content not only includes the history after the Opium War, but also goes back to the late Ming Dynasty, making the work very "family-speaking" characteristics.
